m a k e u p TIPS ON APPLYING LIPSTICK By: Ania Szymanska A beauty tip I've always sworn by is to pick your best feature and play it up. For example, if you are often complemented on your lips (consider yourself lucky), it's time to accentuate them. Here are tips on how to correctly apply lipstick. DON’T PLAY UP BOTH THE EYES AND MOUTH Women who wear heavy eye makeup and dark lipstick can look clownish . If you want to wear red lipstick, keep the rest of your makeup light. However, if you are playing up the eyes, keep your mouth light with nude gloss or light lip color that doesn't stand out. To obtain nude lips - a great look with smoky eyes - cover lips with either concealer or foundation before applying the gloss. This renders practically colorless lips. HOW TO PLUMP-UP LIPS You don't have to get lips fillers to attain the “bee stung” look. For plumper lips, apply liner just outside your natural lip line, then dab a bit of gloss in the middle of your bottom lip and smack lips together. CHOOSING THE RIGHT SHADE You may like how a lipstick color looks on your friend, but it may not necessarily look as good on you. Makeup artist Bobby Brown swears the best lipstick is 1- 2 shades darker than your natural lip color. Also, orange or brown shades, including corals, don’t look good on everyone as these shades make teeth appear more yellow. THE BEST WAY TO APPLY LIPSTICK Is there only one [best] way to apply lipstick? Actually, there are no rules for applying lipstick! Some women use special lipstick brushes, while others opt to use their finger when applying lip color. However, most women actually apply right from the tube. Choose what's right for you, and as long as the color blends well on the lips, you're good. USING LIP LINER AS A BASE Lipstick will stay on longer if you first fill in lips with a lip liner. If you're using a light shade of lipstick, try a nude liner and then slick your lipstick on top. Lip gloss is infamous for wearing off fast, but if you fill in lips first with liner, the gloss has something to stick and adhere to. LINING YOUR LIPS: BEFORE OR AFTER? Some women prefer to use liner before applying lipstick, but I find lips actually look more natural when lining them after first applying lipstick. Also, never use a dark liner with light lipstick as that can come across as tacky and thin out the appearance of lips. And watch out for dark lipsticks, which thin out lips even more. One important thing to keep in mind is the older you are, the "creamier" your lips should look. As we age, lips naturally tend to thin out so try to avoid matte lipsticks whenever possible and go for a creamy, shinier, lip color instead. HOW TO PROPERLY TEST LIPSTICK IN A STORE It's just plain unhygienic to test lipstick at the store. To avoid testing on your lips, swipe the color onto your fingerprints instead for a closer comparison to your natural lip tone, and a much more accurate option than testing color on the back of your hand. It’s also courteous to wipe off the end of the lipstick before you put it back for another person to try. DON’T THROW OUT A BROKEN OR BAD SHADE OF LIPSTICK Most beauty editors know you can create a great lip color by blending lipsticks you don't like. You can also color-in lips with a darker liner before applying a lipstick that's too bright. In addition, if your lipstick breaks off, simply take off the broken portion with a tissue and carefully wave a lit matchstick under it until it’s melted. Then, pour it back into the lipstick base, swivel it down and put in the fridge, uncovered, for 30 minutes. TRICKS TO KEEP LIPSTICK OFF YOUR TEETH After applying lipstick, take your index finger and pop it in your mouth, then pull it out. The excess lipstick will come off on your finger rather than your teeth. Also, to prevent your lipstick from coming off when drinking, discreetly lick your lips before taking a sip. It works! LIPSTICK AS A BLUSH To use lipstick as a blush, dab a few dots on the apples of your cheeks and blend well. It helps to moisturize skin before so the lipstick blends better. But remember: never use a blush as a lipstick! CAMOUFLAGE YELLOW TEETH To downplay the appearance of yellow teeth, try lipstick with a bluish undertone. According to various Lazarus NYC makeup artists, shades that work well to reduce yellowness include plums, pinks, wines and violets. v 36 revia reviamagazine.com <strong>#11</strong>, 2015
