When doing lip makeup for clients I always have a few goals.
- I don’t want to make there lipstick look flat and one dimensional
- I want to be sure I keep the lipstick on my clients lips (not their teeth or nose)
- I want the lips to look full
- I want the lips to have a lot of shape (show off the cupids bow)
1- Putting dimension in the lips!
I love a bold fun lipstick! Hot pink and fire truck red! But I do NOT love having a flat and boring color on my lips! This is done with an amazing lipstick that I use on most of my clients and myself! Mary Kay Copper Star Lipstick (left) and Mary Kay Sheer Blush Lipstick (right)! Both of these lipsticks are in our Metals line. They add shine and dimension to your color as well as helping condition your lips. The Copperstar I use more often, it adds warmth to your color, while the the Sheer Blush adds cool tones. ($15)
3- Keep Lips Looking Full!
To keep your lips looking full and plump, you should use a lip plumper! My favorite is
Maybelline Volume XL Seduction Lip Plumper in Clear! HERE is a link to get some off Amazon! You can also buy it in various colors. I personally use it in clear, in a light layer, then I wait about 3 minutes to let the plumper soak in and then I apply my lipstick. If you’d like to use it as a lip gloss I do not recommend using lipstick with it. I personally don’t use lip gloss, I think you have dimension in your lipstick you don’t need it, and it doesn’t read well on camera. But it can be really great for helping you have full and plump lips without a collagen injection!
