HOW TO SELECT A SHADE

Be careful while choosing the lip color and try it out in a cosmetic salon first and

let them assist you in your color choices. For women with large lips, muted

colors such as purples, browns and bronzes are the best choiceswhile women

with thinner lips should use light colors. Wine, berry, cappuccino and mauve colors

suit light blondes best while coral, apricot and shades of peach are suitable for

blondes that have a golden hue. Warm peach, brown and terracotta shades

are for blondes that sport olive skin tones. Redheads may use warm colors

such as shades of terracotta, cinnamon and peachy brown while shades

such as terracotta, cinnamon and reds with hints of brown are the most suited

colors for brunettes.

USEAGE OF GOOD BRAND

Make your lipstick smudge resistant and matte by blotting the excess color

on lips using one sheet of two-ply tissue, reapplying the lipstick and blotting

it again to absorb the excess oils. Mature women should not use matte lipsticks

though, for a little gloss can make their lips appear softer and lip liner will keep

the lipstick from melting. In case, the lip color or brush slips from your hands

accidentally and stains your clothes, apply the glycerine on the areaand rub it

gently, before washing it as usual. For an instant makeover, try a pink creamy

blush to add rosy ness to your cheeks and lids and use plump shade on your

lips and you are ready to flaunt your beauty.

HOW YOU APPLAY LIPSTICK

A clear lip balm is the best thing for everyday use while sheer application of a

colored lip gloss on lips, cheeks and eyes looks quite subtle and sexy. Glitter

lipsticks and lip glosses are for special events and funky night parties that

highlight your lips immensely. There are lip glosses that literally make your

lips plumper and appear fuller and much more luscious. A very light film of

pink or red lipstick gives you the look of that carefree beauty that every woman

yearns for. Become an attention-grabbing vampiress, who is hot and trendy

these days, by using a blood red lip liner to make precise lip lines and apply

two coats of lipstick of same color, blotting the extra oil in between with the tissue

paper.

Lipsticks contain waxes, oils, pigments and emollients that one must pay

attention to for a quality product. Wax gives shape and ease of application

to the lipstick and often natural beeswax, carnauba wax made from the leaves

of Brazilian wax palm trees and candelilla wax processed from the plant of

the same name found in Mexico is used for the purpose. Oils and fats such

as castor oil, cocoa butter, lanolin, mineral oil, olive oil and petrolatum

are used in the manufacture of lipsticks. However, castor oil is the most

common ingredient as it forms a shiny film after drying that does not smudge

easily. Many lipsticks also offer aloevera, amino acids, collagen, moisturizers

, vitamin E and sunscreen to keep your lips soft, moist and protected from the

weather conditions.
