It was probably not very long since I last mentioned this tip, but when I put on my make-up here the other day, I took a picture of it again and thought I would remind you that it is a great tip for Christmas Eve! :)
It is namely the case that red lips on Christmas Eve are to die for, I have had it every Christmas in recent years, classic and really nice! But, you eat so much at Christmas and are also with loved ones and want to be comfortable, not have to improve on the precipice in the quarter or think about what the lips look like.
I usually run a red lip pencil or a matte, red lipstick in the contours and tint it a little towards the lip, then I take a colored lip balm that gives a lot of color but is not as comprehensive as a lipstick and apply in the middle of the lips.
In this post I show this step by step! In the pictures I have more lip balm than lipstick (compared to today when I want more red lips) but the principle of application is the same.
The result is that when the lipstick starts to disappear and needs to be improved, it will not be as sharp an edge where it has disappeared, as it easily becomes if you have matte lipstick / lip liner on the entire lips. At the same time, the sharp contours and the intense color last much, much better than what a creamy lipstick / colored lip balm alone on the lips does.
When you have made this combo, the lip make-up still looks nice when it starts to disappear and it is so easy to improve with the lip balm on the inside of the lips only (never need to put all the way to the edges) you do not even need a mirror but can sit on the sofa and just apply a little lip balm.
How smooth? :)
Here I have Pixi Shea Butter Lip Balm as colored lip balm, it is not red but raspberry red and attracts more pink but together with red it does not look as pink. And then glo Skin Beauty Lip Liner (Moxie) in the contours. Perfect combo, my favorite!
Hugs are! ♥
