No make-up look is complete without lip colour. Lipstick, lip gloss or even just a slick of lip liner will balance heavy eye looks and give focus to the face when you’re using more neutral eye shades. However, while most of us take time on our eyes and use the right tools for our base, lips are often just dashed on with the stub of a lipstick. Also, despite the fact that they are one of the parts of the body with the thinnest skin and the least natural moisture, we rarely include lips as part of a skincare regime. The result is that many of us end up with chapped or dry liPs, spend hours reapplying colour as our lip shades never stay put, and never really make the most of one of the focal points of our face. Well, that doesn’t have to be the case. Creating a perfect pout is actually pretty easy.
Top 5 Tips For Lips
- If you decide a lipstick is too bright for you once you’ve got it on - but scrubbing it off will ruin your foundation - mix a little foundation with vaseline and smear this over the shade with your fingertip to mute it.
- For emergency rehydration, pierce a vitamin E capsule, squeeze out the contents and apply to lips.
- If your lip gloss is too gooey, run an ice cube over your lips. It’ll keep the shine, but stop that sticky sensation.
- Dark, matt lipsticks sometimes stain the lips. If this happens, rub the lips with olive oil.
- Lip (and tooth) brushes should be washed after contact with cold sores  or even when you have a cold - as they can reinfect you.
Top 5 Colour Tricks For Lips
- Orangey red lipsticks will highlight yellowy teeth, while bluey reds make them look whiter.
- Light shades - particularly shimmery or frosted ones - will make lips look bigger.
- Dark shades or very matt colours will make lips look smaller.
- If you are fairly tanned you should choose a slightly darker shade of lipstick than you would without your tan or you can look washed out.
- Using sheer lipsticks and lip stains is an ideal way for the nervous to branch out into deep shades like plums, raisins and reds.
