How to perfect your lipstick | Pictorial

Imagen
 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. Tip: Use a lip brush with the first coat which helps the lipstic

 Every now & then I check my stats & the one post that is always up the top is this Brigitte Bardot inspired makeup look I did a while back, although I cringe now but I feel that I have improved a lot, especially with my skin. :). Day My hair looking lush, with a bit of help. On the eyes I used Nyx chrome white pearl e/s with a bit of Stila Kitten all over the lid with Satin Taupe in the crease for definition & blended out with a lighter brown. Eyeliner is Maybelline Eye studio liquid e/l (I think thats the name), however I dun goofed it up :( Cheeks are looking like NYX pinky blush & lips are a mixture of Revlon Nude Attitude & CG lip perfection in kiss (love this combo! Revlon NA helps take out some of the frostiness of kiss) Only just a few more pageview's for all time. haha Night Had a party to go to & I had the worst time getting ready (burnt cheek while doing my hair, lots of frustration) but after all that trouble we didn't even stay for

So finally I can breathe while I'm doing my makeup, as at last I have obtained a bigger & better way to store my (small but sweet) stash. Well, its not small compared to the average person, but I have seen some beauty's posted on the web. Anyway, I took some before pictures, to show you how I had been living ha ha. And of course, the after pictures. Before you see anything, don't hesitate to click on the pictures to get a better look & also, it looks a lot worse then what it is because of the mirror (Ok yeah, it was a huge ball of clutter, but still...)   Everything,sitting on top of my dressing table.I need my space!!! ..Before.. I use a pencil organiser to hold my pencil eyeliners, lipliners, jumbo eye pencils and other colour stick bases. I keep my eye brushes in a white cup thing, I still want to find some little ball things that I can use to hold them upright that I don't need to buy online lol. Here is most of my lipsticks, kept in a very handy chocolat

 I don't have much time at all in the morning for makeup anymore, some day's when I'm running late I will take it to work and do it there.... or I will do my hair there haha, and then I don't have time to take decent photos... but here are a few I did mainly in the first week. I choose to stick to neutrals 'coz I find that colours are easier to stuff up & don't look good if they are not blended properly... but with neutrals I find they are easier to blend. Anyhoo, here's a few looks.. I will try to remember what I have used!! Eyes- UD Sidecar, Smog [?] Cheeks - I can't remember :( Lips - Bloom l/s in Honeysuckle. Eyes - Gold pigment from now closed The She Space- Broken Rules. The Makeup Store e/l in Crazy Lazy. Some brown to blend out bronze. Cheeks - E.L.F Fushia Fusion. Lips - Nyx Strawberry Milk Eye s- Bourjois Smokey Eyes quad- pretty much exactly the same products as this FOTD . Cheeks & Lips - can't remember unfortunately. I think th
