Apply makeup well with a lipstick
1️⃣ FIRST STEP: MOISTURIZE YOUR LIPS
Before applying lipstick, it is essential to moisturize your lips. This will ensure your lipstick lasts for a long time and gives you an impeccable result. 🤝
To do this, take a moisturizing lip balm and apply a film of it to your lips. This is especially true during cold weather or periods of intense sun exposure, which are times when dehydration is likely. 💧
Little tip: Be careful not to lick your lips, this will dry them out considerably and damage your makeup! ❌
2️⃣ Define the shape of his lips
In order to best enhance your mouth, it is essential to know how to define the shape of your lips.
There are many lip shapes: thin, thick, and asymmetrical. 💋
How to make up a luscious mouth?
Depending on your desires, you can opt for intense red tones like True Red or Fig Red to make your lips look even fuller. If, on the other hand, you want to camouflage a full mouth, then turn to a discreet matte lipstick like Rouge Rosé which will have the effect of reducing the volume of your lips.
Our little tip: you can use a touch of BB Cream or CC Cream to soften the contour of your lips and give them a less plump appearance. 🌸
How to apply makeup to thin lips?
To apply makeup to thin lips, you must start by redrawing the outline of the lips, going slightly beyond and focusing on the corners of the lips to stretch them.
Outline your lips with a lip pencil in your lip color, extending it by 1 millimeter. Apply Nude Mocha or Bois de Rose glossy lipstick to give your lips a plumped-up effect. The finishing touch? Add a touch of highlighter to your Cupid's bow. 💫
How to apply makeup to asymmetrical lips?
To create asymmetrical lips, we will play on the optical effect. To do this, it is necessary to rework the cupid's bow using a nude lip pencil. Blend the outline of the lower lip with the organic concealer adapted to your skin tone. Correct the asymmetry of your lips using the pencil, then fill in the inside of the lips with a shiny lipstick like Coral.
The final touch? Pinch your lips with a tissue to remove excess material. 🌈
3️⃣ Choose the suitable shade
If you have small lips, it is better to opt for lighter lipstick colors such as Nude Mocha, Bois de Rose or Coral .
On the other hand, full lips can indulge in whatever they want. Whether it's Vintage Rose at From Fig Red to Royal Red and Rosy Red , all shades will suit you perfectly! 💓
