CHANGE YOUR LIPCOLOR. CHANGE YOUR MOOD
Every woman plays favorites. But when your shade becomes as routine as your hairstyle, it’s time for a lip intervention. Try breaking old habits with a new punch of color. Thought you couldn’t wear most colors? Think again. There’s even a red that’s right for you. But bold is not your only option…it’s also sexy to go nude. Neutral shades can set your lips to simmer. Let your mood do the picking. After all, why should all of your moods have to share the same shade?
HOW TO CHOOSE
There are lots of factors in determining your perfect pick.
Form: Lip color comes in a stick or liquid formula. You’ll find that lipstick is slightly easier to apply since the formula is more forgiving. Liquid lip color comes with a wand that may require more precision to apply, but some liquid formulas also come with a long-wearing benefit that lets you skip the touch-ups.
Coverage: Lip colors can provide a wide range of coverage that will impact the intensity of color. Best for a natural or no-makeup look, sheer coverage lets your natural lip show yet can still offer a tint of color. Sheer coverage is great for experimenting with dark shades: the color is less forbidding yet it still delivers the drama.
Finish: Pick the finish you desire to get the look that you want. A cream or satin finish makes lips look smooth and lustrous. A pearl or shimmer finish illuminates lips with shimmer. A shiny finish delivers extra sheen. A matte finish is shine- and shimmer-free.
Benefits: Make your lip color do double duty by looking for lip color with a benefit. If you’re short on time or can’t do touch-ups, go for a long-wearing formula. If your lips feel dry, choose a moisturizing lipstick that’s creamy and emollient-rich to provide extra moisture plus color.
Find Your Shade
Flirt with color and expand your beauty boundaries. You may already have a bond to your existing lip color, but it’s important to liven up your lip look with fresh new colors. The right shade has the power to take your look from low-impact to absolutely luscious. And remember that your lips already have natural color, so the best way to see if a shade really works is to apply it to your lips…not to the back of your hand.

This beauty staple cracks down on lip color creeping out of line. With the right lip liner, your lips get into perfect shape…no sweat. Work those curves and contours with sexy definition. Here’s a tip you won’t want to skip: Make your lip color last by filling in lips first with liner. Keep it to yourself though, and don’t choose a lip liner shade that stands out.
How To Choose
Lip liner usually comes in a thin pencil shape. You can also find a jumbo lip crayon that works to both line and color your lips, but the large shape won’t offer the precision of a classic lip pencil. When you’re choosing lip liner, decide if you want an automatic or manual pencil. An automatic, or self-sharpening, style replenishes when you twist the barrel. Manual pencils require you to sharpen the tip, but in doing so, you may have more control in maintaining a sharp point.
How to Find My Shade
While some women use lip liner in darker shades than their lip color, it’s actually better to match liner to your lips or your lipstick. Choose the shade that blends with your natural lip color or your lipstick shade. The best lip liner is never noticeable, so go lighter and neutral if you’re ever in doubt about a particular shade.
