Lip Makeup

Lip makeup is a cosmetic that is applied to your lips to create different effects, such as a neutral look that may enhance your natural lip color or a bold look that helps add dimension. Lip makeup can be used to enhance the lips with color, shine, and nourishment. It can also be a makeup skincare hybrid where it can also treat your lips such as moisturizing lip balms that can help nourish and hydrate, while lip scrubs and lip exfoliators can be used to buff away dry skin and help prepare lips for a smooth, flawless application. Different types of lip makeup include lipsticks, lip tints, lip balms, lip glosses, lip liners, lip plumpers, lip stains, and many more.

Start with an exfoliating lip product like a moisturizing lip scrub to buff lips and remove dry skin. Next, apply lip liner in a shade that matches your lipstick to fill and outline your lips. Then apply your moisturizing lipstick over the liner, using a lipstick brush or applying the lipstick straight from the tube. Work from the center outward. Finally, place a tissue between your lips and gently press to blot and set your lipstick in place.

Simply apply a lip gloss like the Lip Plumping Lip Gloss to the center of your lower lip, press your lips together and go. If you want a bit more coverage, apply lip gloss to the center of your lower lip, extend it to each corner and then press your lips together. For a more polished result, fill your lips with lip liner, swipe lip gloss onto your top and bottom lips from center to corner and press your lips together. You can also go back and outline your lips with the liner to refine your lip shape.

Start by exfoliating your lips with a lip exfoliating scrub to remove dry skin and create a smooth, moisturized lip surface. Place a lip liner like the vegan lip liner at the center of your top lip, aka the Cupid’s bow, and trace your lip from the center out to the corner. Repeat on the other side of the top lip and then line the bottom lip in the same way. Fill in the rest of your lips with the lip liner, then top with matching lipstick, lip stain or lip gloss.
