Makeup Tips from In House Expert Karlene
Between air kisses at holiday parties and romantic moments under the mistletoe, you’d better be ready to give good lip service this season. Give less-than-perfect pouts the kiss off with these easy expert application tips guaranteed to give you a perfect pucker every time.
Before you begin, make sure your lips are hydrated before applying lipstick. Lipstick on dry, chapped lips is not cute. We love Ormedic Balancing Lip Enhancement Complex by Image Skincare. It is specifically designed to enhance the appearance and volume of lip contours. Alternatively, you can try Peppermint Lip Conditioner by KS2.
Next, choose a lipstick that compliments your skin tone and one that you are comfortable wearing. Comfort equals confidence- which translates to fabulousness!!! For the holiday season we love: Sex on Heels, Marilyn and Halo, all by KS2.
Two Easy Steps:
- Apply your lipstick using a lip brush, which helps give you a smooth seamless application, Follow the natural shape of your lips as you use the brush.
- Next, using a flat synthetic concealer brush, apply a small amount of concealer around the perimeters of your lips. This will highlight your natural lip line, and keep your lipstick from bleeding. We love Laura Mercier Concealer, KS2 and Cle de Peau.
Your Result: a beautiful pout that is sexy but not overdone.
Smooch!
