10 Commandments For The Perfect Lipstick

Getting the perfect lip look can be a hard job if you aren’t a professional, there’s so much to think about, colour, texture, formula, blending – the list is endless! Here I have wrote a list of the 10 commandments for you to get the perfect lip look!

1. Exfoliate with a sugar lip scrub to get rid of dry flaky skin,
2. Keep your lips hydrated, drink plenty of water and use lip balm morning, night and just before applying lipstick.
3. Find the nest shade for your skin tone – the general rule is peachy colours for light skin, deep reds for dark skin and for a medium skin tone almost any colour will suit you!
4. If you’re going for a bold lip colour keep the rest of your makeup minimal.
5. Use a primer before application for longer lasting lipstick.
6. Use a lip liner for a more defined look and to make your lips look plumper.
7. If you’re looking for the perfect nude – easy! Match your lip colour to the colour of your nipple. (The may be a little hard  to do in the middle of a store.)
8. Slightly smudge around the edges for a fuller look
9. Start in the centre of your lips and work outwards to avoid errors.
10. Apply a layer of lipstick, blot with a tissue and apply another layer for longer lasting lipstick.
