How to Wear your Lipstick
Serious Business
Keeping your lipstick fresh and maintained at the office is important for giving off a sense of professionalism. It sends the message that you pay attention to detail and that you aren’t scattered or tired. This is where longlasting lip colour comes to play. Generally for business you want a strong enough colour to give you strength but not dark.
All Nighter
When it comes to choosing the perfect lipstick to for ocassions and just festive moods, it’s all about keeping it consistent with the theme of your ensemble. However, the most popular evening look these days is old Hollywood glam. The trick with the modern nude lip is to put some weight behind it. By using a darker nude to outline and fill the corners of the mouth and then gloss it up in the middle and blend will keep the looks modern fun and to date. Another trend is red, red, red, from pinkish to coral with a dewy natural, skin tone that spotlights your lips. While you can top your lips off with as much gloss as you can it’s important to keep it simple all over.
O-Naturale
Depending on the shape of the lips you were blessed with, you will need to do different things to give off the low-maintenance, natural beauty vibe. If you’re lucky enough to be born with full lips, you’ll only need a little bit of balm or coloured gloss spreadover thin. For others with thinner lips, a colour that’s a couple of shades darker in the corners with a soft gloss in the centre will work wonders. Nude lipsticks should have a pinkish tone to them because natural lips still have colour.
Fashionista
If you want to convey the impression that you’re in the know, which includes being on top of all of the latest lipstick trends theres a few things you'll need to know. Rich nudes, cream corals, reds and strong pinks are this season’s hotties. Think Kate Winslet at this year’s Oscars for the nude approach. Keep them a little bit on the brighter side but not so much that your lips take over from your overall look. Try to avoid Sandra Bullock’s way-too-bright lips at the Academy Award that look overdone.
