A woman is hailed to be beautiful based on many criteria. Among them, one of the most prominent is beautiful lips. You can get such glamorous-looking lips by adopting an appropriate lip makeup formula. Lipstick forms the crux of lip styling.

Lipstick

You can enhance the appearance of your lips by following a few tips like:

Powder or Foundation: You can apply powder or foundation below lipstick to make it stand for a long time. It is always better to use a lipstick with a creamy formula to prevent drying of lips.

Lip Color: If you are diligent while applying lip color, you can make it last longer. For this, stretch your lips and apply color to corners by proceeding from the center to the bottom. This process needs to be continued after blotting every time.

Lip Brush: While applying lipstick, you can use a lip brush to achieve maximum perfection.

Lip Size: Coming to the size of lips, if you have big lips, it is better to use muted colors such as browns, purples, and bronzes. On the contrary, if you have small lips, remember to avoid dark colors.

Storing Lipstick: Make it a point to store lipstick in the fridge. This will make it last many weeks longer.

Never Use a Tester: You should never use a tester on your lips as it is not hygienic. Instead, it is always safer to test lipstick on your fingertips.

Lip Liner: Without the prerequisite lip liner, your lips will look smudgy, softer and less prominent.

Excess Lipstick: Try this simple trick – after applying lipstick, pop your index finger in your mouth and then pull it out. If there is excess lipstick, it will come off on your finger and thereby not spread to your teeth.

Lipstick as Blush: You can use lipstick as a blush.

Creamier Lipstick: This is for women over 50 – you need to avoid a matte colored lipstick or gloss. Always use a creamier lipstick.

Combining Colors & Shades: Never think of discarding any lipstick colors you don’t like. Remember, there is always the choice of combining colors and shades.

Plump Lips: If you have ‘plump’ lips, apply lip liner just outside your natural lip line.

Lip Gloss: First apply lip liner and then gloss. Otherwise, the gloss will soon fade away.

Broken Lipstick: You can set right even a broken lipstick. So, nothing, as far as lipstick is concerned, is a waste.

Avoid Yellowing Your Teeth: Try to avoid lipsticks of orange or brown shades as they tend to make your teeth appear yellowish.

Use Every Bit: Even if you seem to have reached the end of the lipstick, whether you believe it or not, there is still lots to be done with the remaining bit – mix it with Vaseline or lip gloss in a lipstick palette.

More Lip Tips:

To keep lipstick in place and avoid spreading to the glasses or spoons – say while dining – keep lips away from these utensils. Instead, you can use your lower teeth and tongue to do this job.

Before applying lipstick, don’t forget to gently rub with washcloth over lips- this smooths out lips.

Indeed, there could be hardly any woman who does not want to wear lipstick and look jazzy. Not only the color, but also the additional effects like the shine and gloss also add to the beauty of your lips.
