Why turn to a lipstick?
Simply because it adds a sensual, glamorous touch to any make-up look. Brilliant, glossy or matte, lipstick makes women feel even more feminine. 💄
This key item in our beauty kitaccentuates the color of our lips. Unlike lip gloss, lipstick is meant to be showy and colorful, especially if you prefer bright colors. There are, however, more neutral shades for a natural make-up look - less is more! 🤎
Apply makeup with a lipstick
1️⃣ FIRST STEP: MOISTURIZE YOUR LIPS
Before applying lipstick, it's essential tomoisturize your lips. In this way, you'll ensure that your lipstick lasts and looks flawless. 🤝
To do this, take along moisturizing lip stick and put a film of it on your lips. This is all the more important in cold weather or when you're out in the sun , as these are times when dehydration can occur. 💧
Little tip: Be careful not to lick your lips, as this will dry them out considerably and ruin your makeup! ❌
2️⃣ Defining the shape of your lips
To make the most of your mouth, it's essential to know how to define the shape of your lips.
Lips come in many shapes: thin, thick andasymmetrical. 💋
How to make up a full mouth?
Depending on your mood, you can opt for intense red tones such as Vrai Rouge or Rouge Figue to bring out the volume of your lips even more. If, on the other hand, you want to camouflage a full mouth, then turn to a discreet, matte lipstick like Rouge Rosé which will reduce the volume of your lips.
Our little tip: you can use a touch of BB Cream or CC Cream to soften the contours of your lips and give them a less fleshy appearance. 🌸
How to apply make-up to thin lips?
To apply make-up to thin lips, start by re-contouring the lips, protruding slightly and insisting on the corners of the lips to stretch them.
Outline lips with a pencil of the same color as your lips, overlapping by 1 millimeter. Apply glossy lipstick Nude Moka or Bois de Rose to give your lips a plumped effect. The finishing touch? Place a touch ofhighlighter on the Cupid's bow. 💫
How to apply makeup to asymmetrical lips?
To make-up asymmetrical lips, we're going to play on the optical effect. To do this, rework the cupid's bow with a nude lip pencil. Blend the lower lip contour withan organic concealer suited to your skin tone. Correct the asymmetry of your lips with the pencil, then fill in the inside of the lips with a glossy lipstick like Corail.
The finishing touch? Pinch your lips in a tissue to remove excess material. 🌈
3️⃣ Choose the appropriate shade
If you have small lips, it's best to opt for lighter lipstick colors like Nude Moka, Bois de Rose or Coral.
Luscious mouths , on the other hand, can do whatever they like. Whether it's Vintage Rose to Rouge Figue to Rouge Royal and Rouge Rosé, any shade will suit you to perfection! 💓
