Winter Lips

Winter is the time to shelve your lip glosses and barely there balms and break out those 'look at me' lipsticks.
Bold lips can be fabulously paired with a neutral eye.

The trick is knowing how to wear it.

• Think about the mood your trying to convey

                              -A classic lip look would be a Red.

                  - Something a bit punchier would be a Coral or Orange.

                 - Or be daring with a dark plum almost black lip.

             

               

Both can be paired with a neutral eye, remember not to pair it with a heavy eye instead sharpen your eyes with Liquid Eyeliner and Mascara.

Don't wear coral or poppy red lip colour if your worried about making your teeth appear yellow.Stick to blue toned lipsticks these will appear whiter and brighter. A good Blue toned Red is Mac's Russian Red.

Don't exaggerate full lips, Bright colours can make your lips look bigger anyway, if you have naturally larger lip (I envy you),don't go over the lip line, if you do your lips will look out of balance with the rest of your face. 

*Tip* Store Bright Lipstick in the fridge, it will prolong its life and make it easier to apply. Also exfoliate your lips first to make sure to have an even finish, I would recommend you exfoliate your lips at least two times a week if not more especially in Winter.

If you don't want to fork out for a lip scrub you can make one yourself.

• Apply a thick layer of lip balm (I use Vaseline), leave on for about 10 minutes then using a soft toothbrush brush back and forth, wipe away with a flannel and apply a lip balm over. 

I will do a more detailed blog post on some other homemade lip scrubs but this is one that I think everyone could do because they should have these items in there possession.
