The best lipstick color for you !
How to Choose Lipstick
Determine whether your undertone is warm, cool, or neutral.
If you have a warm undertone stick to warm lipsticks and if you have a cool undertone choose cool lipsticks.
Identify whether your skin tone is fair, light, medium, tan, or dark.
In general, lighter skin tones will suit softer and cooler colors while darker skin tones suit richer, warmer hues.
Neutral complexions, such as olive skin tones, will look great with any color.
Remember that rules are meant to be broken, so if you want to try a different color go for it.
How do I know what lipstick color is right for me?
With all the choices available, finding which lipstick color that is right for you can be overwhelming. Determining the shade that will work best for you is based on your complexion and undertone. These can either be neutral, yellow and warm, or pink and cool. Once you have figured out your skin tone, you should note that women with warm undertones tend to look best with peach and orange-toned lipsticks, while those with cooler undertones tend to suit shades like red. You should also consider whether your skin tone is fair, light, medium, tan, or dark, as those with paler skin tend to suit softer colors, while darker skin looks great with rich, warm hues.
What color lipstick is most attractive?
Determining which color lipstick is the most attractive will be based on your complexion and undertone, but a few classic shades tend to look striking on most women. Among the most popular colors include nude, which is fantastic as an everyday lipstick and can make you feel pretty without trying too hard. Another popular, albeit much more daring choice, is red, which demands attention and highlights your lips. If you are going to opt for bold shades, be sure your lips are in good condition first, as any dryness will become extremely visible.
How do you match lipstick to clothing?
Matching your lipstick to your clothing is actually easier than you may think. Nude lipstick tends to work well with all outfits and is a great look for every day. Shades like red can be paired with accessories of a similar color, or you could take the approach of avoiding direct matching and instead opt for lipsticks that are of a complementary shade to your outfit. This is a far less risky choice because an exact match can be a bit too much.
How do I choose a lipstick shade online?
When picking a lipstick shade online, you cannot try it out, but if you know what skin tone and undertone you have, you are more likely to pick a color, you love. In general, those with cool undertones and dark skin look great in rich, warm colors like red, while those with fair skin and warm undertones are better suited to less bold shades and should instead opt for colors like peach or orange-tinged lipsticks.
Enjoy ! Have fun girls!
How to apply eyeliner
HOW TO PROPERLY APPLY EYELINER?
Get close to the mirror and trace a line from the inner corner of the eye to the outer corner. Always keep the line as close to the root of your lashes as possible.
HOW DO YOU APPLY NATURAL EYELINER?
For a natural look, keep the eyeliner line thin and in a subtle color, like brown eyeliner.This will define the eye without screaming “I’m wearing eyeliner!”
WHICH EYELINER IS BEST FOR BEGINNERS?
We’re big fans of smudgy eyeliner and precise eyeliner looks, and think everyone should be equally adept in both. Smudgy eyeliner is rocker-cool and so easy to apply, since all mistakes will get blended away into said diffused, smoky line. Softer, easily blended formulas like eyeliner pencils are perfect for this look.
Precise eyeliner can be a thick line like a cat-eye, or a subtle line that blends right into your lashes. Certain formulas lend themselves better to this look, like liquid liner. It's transfer-proof, aka less prone to smudging and melting, and will stay fresh-looking and clean-lined all day.
SHOULD EYELINER GO ON THE TOP OR BOTTOM OF EYES?
Lining the upper lash line simply defines your eyes, and draws attention to them. It also gives the impression of more eyelashes. Eyeliner is basically meant to mimic a lush, thick fringe of eyelashes, and that fantasy falls flat when there are tell-tale flesh colored gaps between your eyeliner and your lashes.
Lining the lower lashes is so cool—a real glamour look. The goal is to line right along the waterline. The waterline is that sliver of exposed skin between the eye and the lashes. It’s a sensitive area, so always be gentle and use only the cleanest tools here. For this look, an eyeliner pencil is the best option, the softer and more pigmented the better. Kohl formulas are fantastic here, too. It will deposit a gorgeous, saturated line of color on the lash line and not bleed into the eye like a liquid liner will. Take a clean, freshly sharpened pencil and gently glide it along the waterline, from the inner to the outer corner. Line the entire waterline, not just the outer corners. Don’t expect color to last as long as it does on the upper lash line. You’ll most likely have to re-apply eyeliner throughout the night to keep that intense, highly defined line, but such is the price of beauty!
DOES BOTTOM EYELINER MAKE EYES SMALLER LOOKING?
If you have smaller eyes, you’ll want to avoid lining your entire eyes, since doing so can make them look even smaller. Instead, apply eyeliner on the outer half of your eyes, making sure to blend in the starting point.
