Lip Makeup

Swiping on lipstick defines and highlights one of your most visible features – your lips. Lipstick can also accentuate the colour of your eyes, enhance your smile and boost your confidence. Other benefits of lipstick depend on the formula.

Follow these Pro tips for applying lipstick: First, remove any dry skin using a lip scrub or by rubbing a soft toothbrush gently over lips. Next, add a layer of balm to moisturise, then smooth on primer. Finally, use a liner to define your lips and help prevent colour feathering around the edges. Once you've applied lip colour, such as Powder Kiss Hazy Matte Lipstick, blot with a tissue, then add as many layers as you want. Use liquid concealer and a fine lip brush to straighten the outline and perfect the finish.

The differences between lip gloss and lipstick can be subtle when it comes to your finished look. Lipstick formulas range from sheer, creamy, satin and frosted to semi-matte or matte. No matter how shiny the lipstick formula, however, gloss still tends to reflect more light with a heavier finish. If a high-shine, glassy finish is your desired look, swipe on a lip gloss, like Lipglass.
