Color Your Lips

The best lipsticks are long-lasting, perfectly colored and made
with ingredients that enhance not only your look but the health
of your lips as well. The best lip looks rely on knowing the best
colors for your skin. Use these lip tips to keep your makeup
beautiful and your lips smooth and soft.

Before adding lip color or gloss, calm your lips for smoother,
long lasting color.

If your lips are chapped or dry, lipstick will go on unevenly
and fade away fast. Tiny lines around the mouth can trap color,
causing lipstick to "bleed"?never a good look! Use a soothing =

lip treatment or lip balm to moisturize and heal your lips,
providing a smooth base for your lip color. Look for calming lip
treatment with essential oil of sweet marjoram, lavender, and
tarragon, which goes on with a warm tingle and promotes healing.
With soft, beautiful lips, your lip color will look and feel
better than ever!

Lipstick ? A million colors to choose from!

One of the biggest makeup challenges is choosing the right lip
color. Some women vary their lipstick in accordance with their
wardrobe ? a big no-no, since your lipstick is supposed to
complement your skin tones!

It's not hard to choose lipstick colors once you know one simple
fact. All you need to know is whether your skin tones are "warm"
or "cool". It's not about how dark or light you are, or even about =

your hair or eye color, but what the undertone of your skin is?is
it bluish (cool) or yellowish (warm)? Everyone is either warm or
cool and it's all about your facial coloring: blondes, brunettes
and redheads can be either one.

So how can you tell if you aren't sure? Dig through your makeup
bag and find just two shades of any kind of makeup?lip color, eye
shadow or blush. Find one color that is orange or rust and another
that is pink or lavender. Rub one color on the apple of your cheek
and the other color on the apple of the other cheek and then
compare. Does one look more "right" than the other? Does one look =

garish or just wrong? The color that works will show you your skin
tone. If the orange color looks right, you have warm tones; if the
pink color looks right, you are cool.

Now that you know your skin tone, you are free to choose any lip
color in that color family. But that doesn't mean you'll only wear
one lipstick shade: you still have plenty to choose from! Take a
look at this list of potential lip shades for either coloring:

Warm Colors: Coral, Peachy, Russet, Rust, Amber, Brown, Brick Red,
Melon, Salmon, Orange, Sandalwood, Red with yellow undertone,
Taupe

Cool Colors: Pink, Raspberry, Cherry, Mulberry, Lavender, Plum,
Rose, Strawberry, Crimson, Amethyst, Lilac, Red with blue
undertone, Mauve

As you can see, the color names associated with warm and cool
tones tend to fall into two groups. The warm tones tend to be
earthy, woodsy, with only a couple of fruit names (peach and
melon). Cool tones tend to contain the names of berries, which
are often shades of pink or purple or reds with blue undertones.
Warm and cool women can both wear red lipstick, but the "true red" =

tend to be bluish, so warm women should look for reds with a
slight leaning towards brown or orange. Once you understand your
skin tone, the trick is not to fall for a pretty name when the
shade doesn't flatter your skin. Lipstick makers know that a lush
name, reminiscent of flowers or jewels or romance, can sell a
lipstick even when the color looks terrible on most women. So
beware!

Use a lip pencil or liner to before putting on lip color.

While you don't want to stray too far from the natural shape of
your mouth, lip pencils can add clean definition while subtly but
powerfully redefining your mouth. Drawn just outside your natural
lip line, lip pencil adds fullness; drawn just on the inside,
your lips appear slightly thinner.

Want to achieve a luscious pout? Add fullness to the bottom lip
with a lip pencil two shades lighter than the one you use on your
upper lip.

Love the Julia Roberts look? Soften and enhance your upper lip
line by drawing with your lip pencil in a heavy stroke, then
smudge ever-so-slightly upwards with the end of your pinkie. Blot,
then apply your lipstick to the edge of the original line.

For total freedom in lip color, make sure you have lip liner
pencils in several colors. One lip pencil just can't cut it:
you'll want to use slightly lighter or darker lip pencils to
create the illusion of fullness or to slightly thin out heavier
lips.

Great Lip Gloss

You can't buy lip gloss from a drugstore?unless you want a gloppy,
sticky, slimy mess, perhaps adorned with little bits of sharp
glitter and a heavy bubble-gum scent. Store brands can have lots
of confusing ingredients, but we have decoded the makeup terms for
their true meaning. Perfect for 'tweens, lip gloss for grown-ups
should add subtle shine and color. But the best lip glosses do
more than shine you up: they add essential organic oils like
tangerine, clove, peppermint, lavender, vanilla, grapefruit and
rose. Essential oils not only add health to your lips: their
natural scents create instant aromatherapy when applied to the
lips. Vanilla and peppermint have been shown to increase happy
feelings; grapefruit and tangerine give you a boost of energy;
rose and lavender are perfect for calming and soothing stressed
nerves. Lip gloss with essential oils that does more than make
you look wonderful: it makes you feel wonderful too!

Warm and cool shades apply to your lip gloss choices as they do
your lipsticks. Choose colors one shade lighter or darker than
your favorite lipsticks for an extra layer of light-loving color,
or wear them alone for a natural, pretty look.

Want to maximize your lip color wardrobe? Choose your lipsticks
first, then add lip pencils one shade darker than each lipstick,
and finish by picking lip glosses one shade lighter than each
lipstick. Make sure your lip pencils, lipsticks and glosses are
all from the same color family that matches your skin tone. Don't
forget a calming lip treatment to protect and smooth no matter
which colors you wear!
