A beauty tip I've always sworn by is to
pick your best feature and play it up. If you are complimented often on your
lips, consider yourself lucky; it's time to accentuate them.
Don't play up the eyes and the mouth Women who wear heavy eye makeup and dark
lipstick can look clownish. If you want to wear red lipstick, keep the rest of your
makeup light. If you are playing up the eyes, keep your mouth light with a
gloss or light lip color that doesn't stand out.
1.
Not
all lipstick shades look good on everyone.Your skin color will determine what shades are right on
you. You may like a lipstick on your friend, but it may not look good on you.
Orange or brown shades, including corals, look good on few people. These shades
tend to make teeth appear yellow.
2.
Camouflage
yellowed teeth. To downplay a yellow cast to teeth, try
lipsticks with a bluish undertone. Shades that work include plums, pinks, wines
and violets, according to Lazarus, a NYC makeup artist, in O magazine.
3.
Heal
-- don't throw out -- a broken lipstick. If your lipstick breaks off, simply take
off the broken portion with a tissue, then slowly wave a lit match under the
broken piece of lipstick. When it's melted a bit, put it back on the base,
swivel it down and put it in the fridge -- uncovered -- for 30 minutes.
4.
Lipstick
done? You
might notice there's still a bit of lipstick down in the tube. Scrape out the
last bits with a cotton swap or orange stick and mix it with Vaseline or lip
gloss in a lipstick palette. Use a lip brush to apply.
I
also love this tip shared by reader Patti Campbell. She scoops out the lipstick
remnants from the bottoms of her tubes and she puts them in a pill case,
"the one with the days of the week individually capped." She then
nukes the pill case until the lipstick melts. Campbell uses a lip brush and
enjoys seven new lipsticks. I would think this is perfect for the purse.
