With the current economic downturn, everyone is saving up and avoiding unnecessary spending. However, records have showed that during times of recession, there is actually an increase in the sales of lipsticks.
Why is this so? The lipstick is a cheap and affordable makeup tool which can easily transform your entire face. Not only can it brighten up your face, it can also help protect your lips from dryness and even ultraviolet rays from the sun.
Research has shown that we select a lip color according to our moods. When we feel confident and wish to stand out among the crowds, we choose a vibrant lip color. When we feel the blues or seek aloneness, we go for paler shades.
Below are some tips I would like to share in order to bring out the best in your lips.
Tip 1 Before applying your lipstick, moisturize your lips with a lip balm or a moisturizing lotion so that the color stays on longer.
Tip 2 You may wish to use a lip liner to redefine the shape of your lips, for example to make them smaller or make them fuller. In such cases, go for a lip liner that is the same color as the lipstick. If you are looking at more neutral shades, choose a lip liner that is close to your natural lip color.
Tip 3 Powder your lipstick with your foundation, press them onto a tissue and reapply them for better staying effects.
Tip 4 If you have stained teeth and yet to have time to go to the dentist, try using darker tones of reds, pinks or brown as they will make the teeth appear whiter.
Tip 5 Always bring your compact lipstick for touch-up on a dinner or party date.
