Lip color complements your other make-up and draws attention to a pretty mouth. It gives a boost to a complexion that may be a little dull, and so can be a particular asset to the older woman. Lipstick can be obtained in colors to suit the palest to the darkest skin, and to complement every kind of make-up effect from "nearly natural" to a dazzling evening look.
Although the solid stick is the most popular form of lipstick, good lip make-up can only really be achieved with a lip brush, as sticks is too wide to give a precise shape. Remember that the shape of your lips can be altered with make-up more easily than any other feature, so don't be afraid to experiment if you want a different look.
Lipstick
As there are very few sebaceous glands on the mouth, the lips have a tendency to dry out, so lipsticks are generally softer than other cosmetics. Lip colorants are usually in stick form, but can also be bought as glosses or creams. Colors range from almost white to almost black, but most shades are dark or light tones of pink, red, beige, orange, peach, or plum.
Most lipsticks are based on a mixture of waxes, oils, and fatty alcohols, with pigments for coloring. If the pigment is allowed to reach the lips it will tend to dry them out; this is why a layer of foundation is so important. Because of the creamy consistency of lipsticks they tend to smear and smudge very easily; use a paper tissue to blot off excess lipstick after application.
Lipsticks Colors
· Most wearable for everyone: Soft pinks and corals.
· Ruddy Skins: Stay away from colors with blue in them. Look for beige/pinks and roses.
Fair Skins: Soft mauves and champagne pinks are very flattering.
Olive Skins: Choose from bluest tones, like mauves, plums, burgundies with a tan: hot pinks, corals and radiant reds are most striking.
