LIPSTICK TALKS: - part III



Hello ladies,
Here I am once again with my Lipstick series part III. If you miss other parts then here are the link of Part I and Part II.
Okay today I am going to discuss the most fun and amazing part of the series that I was dying to share with you all. :)

Yes, today I am going to share few tricks on lipsticks that I do to make the lipsticks appealing and for long staying too. 

 During the first phrase of my blogging I was a newbie and lipstick swatch was just “TWIST THE LIPSTICK UP AND APPLY IT ON MY LIPS AND CLICK…CLICK ..CLICK”…tadaaaaaa I am done…But what I realize later the lipstick shade never pop up like I wanted or I saw on online swatches of other beauty bloggers (hats off to them for showing us the exact shade of the lipsticks in their swatches).


 So I was bit disheartened and so I end up gifting my most lipsticks to my sisters. But slowly I learn few tricks or you can say few “lipstick hack tricks” that made my lipsticks looks most appealing and pretty now a days. So, today’s topic is all about what I learn so that you don't need to gift your lipsticks to your sisters :P

TRICKS:

Tricks no.1:-
Always use a lip base prior to any lipstick application. A proper lip base will help your lipstick stay longer and hold the lipstick on place without bleeding.

Now what are the lip base?
Well, there are many brands that have lip primer. Our Mac have lip primer and few other brands too. But it is not always possible for everyone to invest so much money on lip primer. So here the tricks girls…apply foundation matching to your skin tone over your moisturize lips before you apply lipstick.

Or, you can apply a neutral shade of lip liner matching your facial skin tone on your lips before applying lipstick.


Tricks No 2:-
A neutral lipstick look too dull on your lips? Or it kind of wash it out on you? But you really love the shade when it’s on the bullet and want to try it? No worries…First apply a lip liner on your entire lip which is one shade darker matching to the neutral lipstick. Then apply the lipstick over it and blend the lipstick with the lip liner with the help of a lip brush. Tadaaaaa see the difference…now it will look appealing on you too sweetie ;)


Trick no.3:-
You love neon orange lipsticks? But you are afraid to try it out? As it might look bold on you? I found most of us can’t wear an orange lipstick as it look too odd on our Indian warm skin tone. So, here is the trick apply a red lip liner on your entire lips first and then apply the neon orange over it and blend it with a lip brush with the red lip liner. See…the difference. Due to red base the orange won’t look neon on you anymore and at the same time it will perfectly match your skin tone too.


Trick no.4:-
You want to apply bold orange lipsticks but on your pigmented lips it is not showing up? Here is the solution…apply a neutral shade of lip liner on your entire lips matching your facial skin tone first and then apply the orange lipstick over it. Then outline your lip with a lip liner matching your neon orange lipstick. Due to application of neutral base the orange shade will look pop up on your lips.


Trick no.4:-
A pink neon lipstick not suiting you as it look odd in daytime but you want to try it out as it was an impulsive buy and you don’t want to waste it. Here is the solution…Apply a neutral lip liner one shade darker to your skin tone on your entire lips. Then outline the lips with a one shade dark pink lip liner compare to the lipstick shade. Finally apply neon pink lipstick over it and blend the lipstick with the dark pink lip liner with a lip brush. Due to darker base the neon pink will be toned down a bit and it settle into nice pink shade like you want.


Trick no. 5:-
A lipstick that always bleed? Here is the solution…apply 1-2 drops of foundation on your lips and blend it and then choose a lip liner closer to the shade of the lipstick. Then apply the lip liner on your entire lips. And finally apply the lipstick over it. Due to extreme dry base created by you on your lips by foundation and lip liner the lipstick will stay on your lips in place without bleeding for hours and at the same time it will look like pigmented shade too (But can’t guarantee you after you eat any oily heavy food ;)…lol…just re-apply it babe!)


Tricks no.6:-
You want a fuller lips? Apply the lip liner matching to your lipstick just from outside of your original lip line and fill the entire lips with it. Then apply the lipstick over it. You will get a nice fuller lips. Always choose a lipstick which has glossy finish, as it will create an illusion of fuller lips.


Tricks no.7:-
You want make your lips look thin? Apply the lip liner matching to your lips just from inside of your original lip line and fill the entire lips with it. Then apply the lipstick over it. Now your lips are perfectly thin a bit than usual. Always try to choose lipstick which are matte finish to make your lips look thin as matte lipsticks are perfect to create thin lips illusion.
 
Tricks no. 8:-
If you want that everybody look your red lips only ;) then after applying the red lipstick on your lips, apply a thin line of concealer around the outside line of your lips with a small thin brush and blend it across the outside of your lipstick. Your red lips will look more prominent, more pretty. By this trick you can also rectify your any mistake that you made while applying the red lipstick. The concealer will hide your all mistakes at one go and your lips are now perfect.

So, these are 8 tricky lipstick hacks tricks that I learn till now and do follow every time I use a lipstick.

So, next time if you see a lipstick swatch look appealing online you know how to nailed it as you know the tricks now... ;)

On my next part will discuss few of my recommendation of lip product for your reference and much more.
