We ladies know how much love we have for our lipsticks, but from time to time sticking to a particular hue might be boring and before you know it your look becomes monotonous. Usually, when you buy new shades of lipsticks, you definitely want to rock them till their last penny’s worth, but here is the thing, you can always do that and still keep your look fresh and new.

Lipstick is the icing on top of every beauty look, so when you get it wrong, your entire look goes from flawless to flopped and the confidence to pull off a look goes down the drain. Applying your Lipstick is supposed to be the icing on the cake for every beauty look you desire to wear.

here are some commonly stated complaints people make about their lipstick application:
  • I hate light colour lipstick because when i wear them i look so creepy.
  • my lipstick wears off before i even notice them.
  • my lipstick bleeds and won’t stay classy.
  • I dont know how to blend my shades.

If the above are your challenges consider doing the following:

Begin by using your favorite lip-liner,  and begin at the Cupid’s Bow of the upper lip and trace the outer part of your lips. Once the lips are lined you are going to use the same liner pencil to fill them in. emphasis: “focus on filling”. This is extremely important as this will lay the foundation for the lipstick you apply on top. Simply turn the liner onto its side and color in the rest of the lip. Now this is called giving your lips a good foundation before the actual lipstick is applied.

To get a classy look, you have to purchase high-quality products and also apply them appropriately. Here are some tips on how to make your lips compensate your make-up. You can always start by mixing two lipsticks in the same color family, but with different textures and effects. “The simplest way is to use one color to alter another,” advises Jessie Powers, managing educator for Make Up For Ever. “I recommend starting with a bright or deep base shade applied all over the lips, then use a light or shimmering shade to highlight just the center of the lips.”

For a deep dark red lip, brown or black lip liners can do wonders.

Red is a symbol of hotness, sexiness, passion and true love! A woman in red is always attractive. Lightly apply brown or black lip liner and use a finger tip to spread evenly on your lips. Apply your red lipstick or lip stain on your darkened lip for a deeper effect.

Start with applying your favorite lip moisturizer, fill in your lips with Nyx Stockholm or any other brands of lipstick that can provide your desired hue,  line your lips with Motives (Suede)Eyeliner. This eyeliner is OK to use on the lips. Take your lip brush and start filling in the outer corners of the lips, fading in the color Suede by Motives to Nyx stockholm.

For a defined natural lip, brown pencil and nude lipstick will do the trick.

Apply brown pencil around your lips and use a finger to spread evenly till it’s almost sheer. Apply your nude lipstick in the middle of your lips and finish with a little gloss for natural looking perfection.
