Tip 1: Moisturize!
Bold and chapped lips = BIG NO! make sure that you moisturize your lips with Vaseline or carmex (I always keep some in my traincase) . A nice tip is to put chapstick or whatever lip balm you have handy on your lips and do your face and eye makeup and right before you put your lipstick on just dab your lips with a napkin to take off any extra. Trust me its really unattractive to have flaky lips *YUCK*
Tip 2: Lip Liner
Try to always make sure you have a matching lip liner to go with your lip colour because using lip liner before lipstick will ensure that your lipstick does not feather out in any fine lines and stay within the lip perimeter. Also fill in your entire lips with the lip liner to get a longer lasting finish if you just keep lipliner with a light coating of lipstick it'll have a much more matte finish which some people might find more suitable.
Tip 3: Dab Dab!
If your not comfortable smothering your lips with lipsticks just lightly dab the lipstick on for a more sheer colour wash and add a little more moisturizer to help even out the colour.
Tip 4: Focal Point
Make sure that your keep your face a little more neutral and let your lips stand out. If your going to have bold lips try to not have busy eyeshadows to distract and conflict with the lips.

ReplyDeletetry something thicker like a lip butter and also a lip scrub!
DeleteAmina, you need to go to LUSH and get this lip scrub... its sugar you put on your lips ... it scrubs all the dryness away! Then apply lip balm
