BEAUTY TALK: LIPSTICK COMMANDMENTS TO LIVE BY
The power of a good lipstick cannot be underestimated. It is that one staple piece that has the power to completely transform your look, taking you from zero to a hundred in an instant.
The lipstick like everything “Slay” has rules albeit unspoken. There is a lipstick for every gal, the trick is finding the right shade and applying the right way.
When shopping for your lipstick, here are a few things to consider:
- Shade
- Colour
- Price
- When to wear
- What to wear it on.
Thou shall consider the shade; when picking out a color, you should know that just because Tina rocked a particular red, it doesn’t mean it will look good on you. Consider your skin tone and decide on the right shade before choosing.
Thou shall choose your color depending on the occasion you are wearing it to. (Wild night out with the girls, church, office…) keep this in mind when making your selection.
Thou shall not break the rule of the game; Bold lips—soft eyes, soft lips—bold eyes. It’s an unspoken rule master it.
When applying, start in the middle and work your way out slowly.
Keep your pearly whites white darling, avoid getting lipstick on your teeth when applying.
Thou shall line your lips with the same color as your lipstick, highlighting your cupid bow gives your lips a lift.
The right shade of nude, red, a dark dramatic color and pink are an absolute necessity. Switch it up every once in a while, when the occasion calls for it.
Thou shall not be afraid to experiment, mix and blend two or more colors; you might be surprised at the result.
Thou shall find the right bright; avoid too much sparkle and gloss.
There you go girl, now put on some lipstick and go get it.
