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

Lip Inventory 3: Oranges & Coral

The third installment in my lip inventory project is my orange & coral lipstick collection. Once again a lot of the swatches aren't a true representation of colour in real life but it is pretty close.


 L-R: Nyx Round Lipstick in Margarita, L'oreal Studio Secrets in Coral, BYS Lipstick in Coral Kiss, Jordana Lipstick in Mango, Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in Coral Crush, David Jones lipstick in Sunburst, Sportsgirl Pout About It in Fruit Tingle, MAC lipstick in Morange.

 


A lovely light orange colour, however as you can see it is really frosty. Looks beautiful with a pink lipgloss over the top.


 I picked this up on a whim as it was on special, although I think I will probably give it away! It is also very frosty & similar in colour to Margarita except a little more peachy.

It probably looks a lot more pink to you than coral but compared to pink lipsticks it is, well... coral haha. I do like this colour, but I haven't worn it much at all lately.

Hello frost lipstick number 3! I ordered this without hearing anything about it, and will probably just give it away! & It actually does smell like mangoes haha. I think it would look nice blotted down, though.

You have probably seen me mention this lipstick mixed in with a lot of others but it is quite pretty on it's own, too.

This is another "I bought it & tossed it aside" lipstick although the colour isn't too bad on it, but it is more orangey in real life. It looks quite subtle here which is nice & has a satin finish.

This is a light matte peachy colour, perfect with a brown smokey eye, I haven't worn this in a look because I haven't really worn anything for this to go with.

MAC Morange, my new love, I think it was meant to be :P This bold orange is perfect with a neutral, light eye or any minimal makeup look but it can be used with a dramatic eye, too.

Out of these lipsticks my faves would have to be... definitely Morange because it is the most perfect bright orange lipstick, Coral crush because it is more subtle, & fruit tingle for a fun & light colour.
