Choosing the perfect red lip

If you want to make your outfit look much more glamorous, with little effort, just throw a red lipstick on. It will turn your look around, and it will make your face pop. However, there is a catch. You have to find the right red lip!

When getting a red lipstick, there are a number of things you need to consider.

• Undertone: Red lipsticks primarily come in three undertones- true red, blue (pink) undertone and orange (yellow) undertone. True reds suit almost all skin complexions. But in order to choose between blue or orange undertone, you have to find the undertone of your skin (which is quite an easy process). People with warm undertones look better in an orange-red, whereas people with cool undertones will look better in a blue-red.
• Texture: Red lipsticks can be sheer, creamy or matte. There are some people who prefer the matte look, whereas some people prefer creamy. Creamy lipsticks might not be a good idea if you have a lot of fine lines on your lips, for the colour will set right into the creases. However, matte lipsticks are really drying, and your lips will have to be properly moisturised for you to be able to use these.
• Brand: It would make sense for you to invest in a red lipstick from a well known brand (if you have to own one lipstick in your life, the NARS Dragon Girl, or Mac Ruby Woo would be the perfect choice). These lipsticks would have much better payoff, and would be more delicate on your lips! After all, every girl deserves an amazing red lipstick- one that will turn heads!

 

Winter makeup tips

With approaching winter or fall dry weather takes the moisture away from the skin. It does not matter how good your makeup is. Regular exfoliating with moisturising helps a lot. Drinking a lot of water also helps a lot. Here are few things I do to keep up during the dry season.

Using milk to cleanse – Instead of using gel based cleansers use milk. Milk has cream in it which also moisturizes the skin while you clean it. This simple switch in the cleansing way will help a lot.

Mix moisturizer in the foundation – By mixing moisturizer in your foundation cream you are imparting that extra moisture to the skin which will very helpful. It helps to keep the dry patches on the skin away.

Use of Sunscreen – Absence of sun does not mean that you do not need sunscreen. In fact winter sun damages your skin more as you do not apply sun screen. Apply sunscreen lightly while going out.

Use an overnight hydrating mask – Overnight hydrating masks are a must in winters. Skin glands produce less oil in winters and proper enrichment is required.

Reduce the red skin – Cold winter winds can redden your skin. Use herbal moisturizers to calm the redness. You can also use 1% hydrocortisone cream.

Keep away from wind – Icy winds can harm your skin and face in a lot of ways. Just wear a hood while going out in windy conditions.

Makeup Trends for This Summer

Are you trying to find ways to spice up your look this summer? There are a number of exciting new makeup trends you could try this year!

As for eye makeup, cat-eye liners are back in vogue. The classic smokey eye is also back in vogue, but you can add your own twist to it by using colours like dark-green, or purple, instead of black.

Glossy eyelids are extremely popular this summer, too. If you do not want to spend a lot of money to make your eyelids look glossy, you can just use some Vaseline, or clear gloss!

Eyebrows have become popular this season too. Thicker eyebrows are more in vogue- but no matter how thick or thin your eyebrows actually are, you should make sure they are carefully shaped.

White eye pencils have made a return this season- just use a little on the inside corner of your eyes to make it more open.

A lot more emphasis is being laid on the eyes and the cheeks than the lips this season too. If you are a lipcolour fan, it would do you good to invest on a few nudes and clear lipglosses.

These tips will give you a fresher and brighter look- one that is perfect for the weather!

Get the luscious lips look

Well defined, luscious lips are one of the best assets a woman can have. It’s not particularly easy making your lips look perfect, but there are some routines you can follow to make sure your lips look beautiful, with or without lipstick!

First of all, you have to acknowledge the fact that your lips need regular scrubbing. You need to regularly remove the dying skin and cells on your lips so that your natural lip colour can shine through. You can do this by exfoliating your lips with your toothbrush twice a day- right after you are done brushing. If you want to take this a step ahead, you can always make a lip scrub for yourself.

Secondly, you have to make sure that you keep your lips moisturized. Invest in a good colourless chapstick. You can use this lip balm as a base for your lip stick as well. It will prevent your lips from chapping and breaking out, which will make them look lifeless.

Thirdly, when you are wearing lipstick, make sure that you define the shape of your lips well. Well-defined lips can look full and luscious. If your lips are too thin, you could always use the lip liner to create a false lip shape and just colour in the blanks (you can take some tips from what Kendall Jenner is doing!).

These are simple tips that will give you lips that will make everybody jealous!

Learn how to contour- it will change your life

Contouring has become rather popular over the past few years, and for good reason. It can give your face angles you never knew you had, and it can change the way you look. You can make yourself look phenomenal if you learn how to contour. It might take a few tries before you can get it perfect- so you should start right away!

First of all, you would have to get two different colours of face makeup. There are contour palettes you could buy, if you are ready to invest that kind of effort and money into contouring. You would have to apply the lighter foundation on the areas where you want to draw focus to, and put the darker colour on the complementary sides, to make it look like your face is naturally shadowed.

You should focus on contouring your nose and your cheeks as those are the two parts of your face that can change the most thanks to makeup. Make sure that you follow a few tutorials, and do a test run of the contouring before you go out. You do not want to try this for the first time a few hours before you go out and realize that it did not work out for you.
