LIPS Q&A
LIPSTICK APPLICATIONS
WISH A SHADE WERE
JUST A LITTLE LIGHTER, DARKER, COOLER OR WARMER?
Why not try blending shades! Here is a trick I
learned a few years ago. Let's say you have the lipstick RP Copper and you want
to add some pizzazz to it. Try adding one or more of these to it?
Set #1
Base: Real Purity Lipstick Copper. Now add any
one of these: Living Nature Lipstick Sunny Day, Real Purity Lipstick Pink
blossom, Real Purity Lipstick Purple Passion, Real Purity Lipstick
Bronze Cloud. Real Purity Lipstick Bronze Cloud could be substituted for Real Purity
Pearl Mocha or Beauty Wise Cosmetics Apricot Frost. Its meant to lighten down
the looks
Set #2
What about mixing any two of these: Living Nature Lipstick
Wave, SN Shiny Red, Living Nature Lipstick Summer
Rain, Living Nature Lipstick
Dusk. You can also substitute these colors for those better for you or in other
brands.
Set #1
Base: Real Purity Lipstick
Copper. Now add Real Purity Lipstick
Romantic Red, Real Purity Lipstick
Purple Passion or Real Purity Lipstick Bronze Cloud. Combine them for an assortment of
terrific looks.
HOW DO YOU DECIDE ON COLORS THAT CAN ADJUST OTHER SHADES?
Sante has a shiny blue lipstick, which when
applied lightly, can add a cool tone to a warm lipstick. You can use a color
like Sante Shiny Beige, which has strong yellow tones, to warm a lipstick up
that is to cool. Sante Terra is more like a beige, and that is a neutral shade.
So it may be nice to have to lighten other shades down without actually changing
the hue. Obviously, colors like Sante Brown or Shiny Mauve are on the dark ends,
and would be suitable if you want to darken a shade up with those tones. Mixing
can be fun and offer you many advantages. These are just suggestions, but it can
help you get started. Any brand will work!
I WEAR GLASSES, HOW
SHOULD I CHOOSE MY LIPSTICK?
Since your glasses draw attention to your eyes,
balance things out by choosing a lip color that coordinates with the color of
the frames. One that is of a comparable intensity.
LIP LINER USES
AND TIPS
COLOR CLASS TIPS?
Three reasons to use a lip liner: Lip liners make
the difference between just OK and luscious lips. Here's why:
1. Lip liner can give you the lips you've always wanted. A stroke of the pencil
can reshape your mouth. For a fuller pout, start at the center of the upper lip
and make a thick line along the bow. Then taper off to a faint line at the
corners. To play down lips that are full, draw a thin, even line just inside the
border. Fill in with lipstick.
2. Lip liners provide strong color and help keep lipstick from bleeding into
fine lines around the mouth.
3. Lip liner can help your color last. Line your mouth then press the side of
the pencil against lips, fill them in with color. Using a brush, top with
lipstick.
ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO SEE YOUR LIP LINER WHEN WEARING LIPSTICK?
No. Remove your lipstick and start over! Now, use
a lip liner pencil that is close to either the color your lips are, or the color
of your lipstick. Blend the line with a lip brush before applying your lipstick.
Then go back over your lips with the brush to make sure the color extends all
the way to the edge and into the corners of your mouth. I do want to add that
some people do like wearing a darker liner, but we advice being careful to just
how dark you go with.
