Lipstick is one of the most valuable items in a woman’s makeup bag. It can showcase your personality, add color to an outfit and fill you with confidence. Yet many women convince themselves that they can’t wear it and that it doesn’t suit them. But the reality is that all woman can look good when they wear lipstick. You just need to apply it correctly, choose the right shade and feel amazing when wearing it. If you’re a beauty beginner, who is desperate to master lipstick but unsure how this quick guide is for you.
Do lipstick research
Lipsticks come in an array of shades and styles which can make choosing the perfect one feel overwhelming. The best way to know what kind of lipsticks you should be looking for is by doing some research before you hit the shops. Look into different lipstick brands such as nyx cosmetics and MAC to see what they have to offer. You may find that some have a wider selection of colours than others and that their prices vary considerably. It can also be worthwhile to read reviews on how well certain lipsticks performed. This will ensure you avoid brands that are producing lower quality products. Also, make sure you determine the differences between the finishes lipsticks can have. Matte, gloss and satin are just a few examples which all create their own unique look.
Find the perfect shade
Before you start buying lipsticks in a rainbow of colours, you need to find out shades suit your skin tone. To do this, look at images of celebrities who have a similar skin tone to you to see what shades they look good in. This can also make it easier to see what shades you should avoid too. Another option is to have a consultation with a makeup artist at a local beauty counter. The artist can advise you on what shades will best suit you while also allowing you to try different options before you buy. Don’t feel pressured into trying shades that are too dark or bold straight away. Instead, opt for more subtle lipsticks and glosses that you can wear anytime.
Buy the right tools
If you want to apply lipstick correctly, you need to ensure you have the right tools to help you. A toothbrush, lip brush and lip pencil are both crucial if you want your lipstick to look flawless and last all day. Use the toothbrush to gently exfoliate your lips to ensure they are smooth. Then use your lip liner, which should be in a similar shade to draw around the shape of your lips. The liner can also be applied onto your lips to create a base coat. To finish, brush your lip brush over your lipstick and apply directly onto your lips. Stay within the lines to create a sharp and professional looking finish.
Now you know how there should be nothing stopping you from wearing lipstick on date night or to the office. Don’t be afraid to get experimental and have fun with the colours you choose. You may be surprised at just how good they look on you.
