The Do's & Dont's Of Bold Lip Colors
Hey,
beautiful!
This week’s
posts will both be Valentine’s Day related, because who doesn’t love Valentine’s
Day? I do! Hahaha. So with this special day just around the corner, some of you
may already be thinking about what you’re wearing and most importantly, what
makeup look you’ll be rocking to celebrate the occasion.
A red lip is
always the perfect way to go for a simple yet beautiful and put together look,
it’s a versatile and empowering color everyone can rock! So even if it’s not
for this occasion that you’re wearing a bold lip, take into consideration these
next few and basic pointers about what are some do’s and don’ts for a bold lip
for the next time you rock a bold lip color.
*Do’s.
-Prep your lips: prepare
your lips for a bold lip color by making sure they are exfoliated (a simple DIY
lip scrub is brown sugar and honey!) and hydrated. This first step will help
the color you wear stay on longer and look better!
-Know your undertone:
the easiest way to choose a red lipstick is by knowing your undertone; cool
undertones look best with cool reds and warm undertones look the best with warm
reds. Here’s a more in-depth blog post on how to choose the right lip color for
your skin tone!
-Keep the eyes simple:
since you want the lip color on your lips to stand out, have it be the main
focus of your whole makeup look by keeping your eye makeup simple. You can
never go wrong with a cat eye and red lips!
*Don’ts.
-Skip the liner: wearing
a lip liner will give your lips more definition and it’ll prevent your lipstick
from bleeding. Go for a liner that is as close to the color of your lipstick as
possible and wax-based for better staying power, it won’t smudge as easily!
-Pair with bright colors:
it’s all about the balance, so just like with the eyes, keep the rest of your
makeup as neutral as possible. Adding vibrant shades to the rest of your makeup
will draw the attention away from your lips and everything will likely clash.
-Be afraid to layer:
just like you layer clothes, lip products can be layered as well! Layering lip
products will help you find new shades that work for you and it’s a great way
to get a ton of looks if you have just a few lip products.
That’s it for today’s post… If you’d like to read another do’s and don’ts
type of post, here’s one on smokey eye don’ts!
I hope you liked this post and be sure to come back this Thursday for a
beautiful Valentine’s Day inspired makeup look♡
Bye, beautiful!
