Holiday Make-up - 3, Lips

All about make-up > Holiday Make-up > The lips

This year experience the enchantment of a decadent city holiday where days are filled with holiday shopping and nights with cocktail parties and galas. As you move from townhouse to penthouse, candlelit windows sparkle and shimmer off of satin draped fabrics and holiday lights stand out in bold celebration of the season.

No one wants a makeup meltdown. To keep your face looking fresh and at its best, there are a few simple rules to follow.

LIPS
Every year, classic red lips make a comeback just in time for the holidays, and this year is no different. The great thing about this look is you don’t have to spend a fortune to look like a million bucks.

Preparing

If you’re going to do a red lip, you should make sure your lips aren’t dry and chapped, Exfoliate them with a really gentle exfoliator or use a toothbrush and just flake off excess dead skin. Then use a really good lip balm. But before you go to apply your lipstick, make sure you tissue off the balm, just because you want the lipstick to really adhere.

Drawing

Use a lip liner to "draw" your lip contour. It prevents the lipstick from bleeding.
Use the same shade than your lipstick. Some brands like Revlon, Bourgeois, Cargo market a clear lip liner that you can use with every shade of lipstick.

Apply

When it comes to picking the colour, the general rule is warmer shades for olive complexions and cooler shades for pale complexions. If all else fails, you can’t go wrong with a true red—it suits almost every skin tone.
