Tips on How to Apply Lip Color
Women have worn makeup since time immemorial to make them attractive and beautiful. That is the reason why makeup is a multi- million dollar industry all over the world. But there are rules in applying makeup to ensure that you look as fabulous as you desire. The wrong type of makeup and the incorrect way of applying it might create the opposite effect. One important element of a woman’s makeup is lip color, lipstick, lip gloss and lip stain. Here are some simple suggestions on how to apply lip color that will make you look fabulous:
Gisele Bündchen Makeup Look
- Choose a lipstick, lip gloss or lip stain in the shade or color that is right for you. You can find out if it is the right color or shade for you by swiping it at the back of the hand or better yet at the tip of a finger, since the color of the tip of your finger approximates the color of your lips. If you have a mirror hold your finger tips next to your face to find out how it looks.
- Before applying your new lipstick exfoliate the dry skin from your lips by brushing it gently with a soft bristled toothbrush or rub it with a paper towel. On well exfoliated lips, lipstick will slide along smoothly without caking.
- Coat lips first with a lip balm before applying your new lipstick, this will prevent the lipstick from feathering.
- For a longer lasting lip color, apply a coat of your new lipstick, and with a single-ply tissue, press and powder lightly over the tissue with a brush. This will set the color and avert feathering and running
- To create an illusion of fullness (or a pouty lip), daub a smidgen of gold or silver lip gloss at the center of the lower lip. Photo Copyright of PR PHOTOS

Most Common Makeup Mistakes
Most Common Makeup Mistakes
It is a known fact that women love to put makeup on their faces. But many women make mistake. So, instead of making themselves more beautiful, they became more of a disaster because of their makeup. Makeup is not used as coverage but women use it as such. Makeup should be used as a way to enhance the natural beauty of a woman and not to hide it. In addition to this, many women also attempt to put on a lot on their faces, thinking that there is never too much. However, too much makeup would only make it hard for women to show their natural beauty.

Less is more
When using glittery or shimmery makeup, women should remember this mantra. Shimmer make up looks feminine in women if done in the right way. This is in moderation. Putting on too much would make you look like you are going to a masquerade ball. The shimmer must only be focused on one part of the face and not on the entirety of the face.
Mascaras should also be done minimally. There are beauty and health repercussions when you overdo it. First, too much mascara can be hard to remove. As such, you may tug the lashes. As they are sensitive and delicate, you increase the chances of having fewer lashes. In addition to this, too much mascara would look too smudgy at the end of the day.
Know the technique
Blush can make you look like sun-kissed or younger. But you need to have the right technique. Too much application on the cheeks and you end up looking like a clown. Blending the blush so the color will spread is the right way to lessen the effects. Another mistake when putting on is the use of eyeliner. When the application is too thick, especially when a pencil is used, you may end up looking like a raccoon. Women with small eyes mall fall victim to this as they would want to make their eye look larger. The best trick is to line the eyes from corner to corner with a thin line.

Worst Makeup Trends 2011
Sure there are trends and there is fashion. Let’s admit, some makeup trends are not just for everybody. There is something that divides the street fashion from runway ones. This is not always in the right turn of events. There are trends that just have to remain inside the magazine pages. It just won’t work for the public. Here are some trends that might not work for you.

Nude Lipstick
Yes, nude lipstick. Nude lipsticks are known to match smokey eye shadow. But the catch here is, if the nude lipstick is too nude, then, it just won’t work for you. How would you know that the nude lipstick that you have is already too nude for you? Simple. If the color is too close to your skin tone, then you have chosen the wrong color. Make it better by exchanging the harsh color with a pink lip gloss. Choose nude color that have hints of warm colors in it.
Frosty Lipstick
Let me just remind you that the 80s is already over. If you don’t want to look too Barbie-ish, then settle for matte or glossy pinks.
Pencil-thin eyebrows
Do not on a plucking spree and just leave a few strands of eyebrow hair. What’s worse, you compensate it by lining the already thin eyebrows with thin eyebrow pencil line. Having too thin a line for your eyebrows are too harsh for the face. Go easy on the tweezing parts and remove only the stray hairs.
Fake contact lenses
If you do want to wear contact lenses, make sure that they are done in the most subtle way. Some people would just know what color your eyes are. If it’s green, then don’t disguise it with outrageously blue. You can always enhance your green eyes with makeup suitable for green as well.
