How to perfect your lipstick | Pictorial

 Sometimes just chucking on a lipstick isn't going to cut it, especially with some formulas that like to make their way over your face, or does that just happen to me? I've found that applying my lipstick this way, using different lip liners & doing it in different layers helps it to stay put & last a lot longer, too. This is not something that I do everyday but when I have time & I'm wearing a bolder lip colour I like to spend a bit more on the lips. 1. Line just outside of your natural lip line with a lip liner that is close to your natural colour if you prefer a fuller lip. Tip: If you're going for a nude lip, use a colour slightly darker than your lipstick. 2. Apply your lipstick of choice. It doesn't matter if you don't cover up the liner completely as we'll be going over that again. Make sure to really press your lips together to work the lipstick in.

Dark Smoky Daytime Look

I suppose not everybody likes a lot of drama for in the day time... but if you want that without going too OTT I like to do a brown smokey eye. For this I used the (surprise, surprise) Naked palette. I taped the edges to get that sharp look to make it a little bit more dramatic.





Of course this post wouldn't be complete without a few closeups.
Eyes:
NYX JEP in slate on lid
UD Naked: Sin- Inner Lid.
Hustle- all over the rest of the lid.
Buck- Crease. Blended out with Naked.
Toasted added on top of buck. Lower Lashline
A little bit of Darkhorse in the outer corner.
Virgin to highlight
UD Whiskey E/L in waterline.
Black Bean for top E/L

Cheeks-
NYX peach blush

Lips-
NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Tokyo (I applied lip balm just before but didn't blot it enough so its not quite matte)

Question: I haven't done a picture tutorial in a while, would anyone be interested for this look?? Even though y'all are totally more talented then me :)

Thanks for looking, hope your having a great weekend! <3
