Tips for Luscious Lips

Wednesday, August 19, 2009
A friend of mine swears by her lip liner, and finishes it off with a tinted gloss. In her opinion a matte lipstick just makes her lips look old. A shimmery glossy look makes her feel kissably irresistible.

She prefers the “Makeup for Ever Professional” lip pencil instead of the twist up type ever sharp pencils which tend to dry out in the tube and don’t last. Then she applies a lipstick from Merle Norman followed by a moist lip color on top which has a shimmery gloss – Merle Norman “Moist Lip Color”. Her favorite color is “sugar coated”. The lip-gloss will wear off over time, and must be reapplied as the day goes on.

Makeup Tips for the Beach

Wednesday, July 1, 2009
This should be a no-brainer. It’s wet, so you want waterproof, right?! Well, actually you may just want to skip most of the makeup all together and just get over it. If you can’t bear the thought of appearing with a naked face, then keep it to a minimum: waterproof eyeliner and mascara.

Consider that you will probably have some big sunglasses to make yourself radiant and protect those baby blues (or browns as your case may be!).

I do recommend some long wearing lipstick such as Covergirl Everlast. This will also help protect your lips from sun.

Wearing your hair up in a pony tail or a clip is a good idea. It will help you keep cool and keep it under control. More than anything else, just do not let yourself get too much UV radiation. The damage will show up on your skin years later, not now.

Now break out your best swim suit and hit the beach looking your best!

Red Lips for Everyone

Wednesday, June 10, 2009
There really is a red lipstick for every woman. The secret is in the undertones, not in the color itself. For example, a Fire Engine red will look best on skin tones with warm complexions like olive skin. A cherry red will look better on women with cooler skin tones such as fair skin. Dark complexions have more options and can pick just about any color of red.

In general, fair skin looks good in true pinks or nudes. You should avoid brown. Medium complexions should try a more rose shade. You can go toward peach as well, and when you go red, look for more burgundy. Olive skin is flattered most by shades that include a little brown in them. Avoid pinks.

Your lipstick should work with your skin and hair color, not your outfit. Don't match it to your new shirt, or a shade that happens to look great on someone else. It may not work well for you. Top it off with a glossy finish. And remember, if you use a lip liner, it should NEVER be darker than your lipstick. It should match the shade of your mouth.
