Perhaps, the most popular form of make-up is the one that adorns the lips. Lipstick, the bold, often vibrant color has been the epitome of seduction for centuries. Gracing every full, thin or even collagen filled lip, it rings—wear me!
Most women, who remain true to the style, color and effect of lipstick, wouldn't dare leave home without it. When it comes to finding a new color to replace the shade you're currently wearing, it's never easy. However, buying lipstick can be as easy as wearing it, if you follow these three simple steps:
Wear Make-Up
The misconception is that in order to buy make-up you shouldn't have any on your face. But this is not the case with lipstick. When choosing the perfect color, make sure you're already wearing foundation, mascara, eye-shadow, blush or any form of make-up you normally wear to complement your natural beauty.
This will help you apply the lip color you are thinking about buying on your lips to complete the everyday look you want to capture. It's like adding accent colors inside your home. You can't accent it, unless you already have the basic color as the background. Your make-up becomes your canvas and your lipstick should be the last step—the paintbrush.
Use Alcohol or Make-Up Remover
Never apply color to your lips with traces of another color left on them. Make sure you always remove make-up before applying a new shade. This will prevent you from trying on a shade you think is one color in the store and bringing it home only to discover it's another.
Buy Two
Never settle for just one color. Even if your intentions are to only shop for one lipstick, make sure you have another color in mind to purchase later. If you are a lipstick wearer, you should first purchase the everyday color and make the second color you purchase the "wow" factor lipstick.
The "wow" factor lipstick is usually a color meant to turn heads whenever you wear it. It's often worn at events meant to attract the opposite sex or any social gathering where you simply want attention. It’s often seen as a bold, provocative color and it's usually a variation of the color red.
That's right ladies, your lipstick can actually be the first and last thing men see when you enter the room. So when you want to make a lasting impression, put your best lip color forward!
