There is a tip which you can do instead of having lip gloss / lipstick on your lips, and which also gives a more natural result if you do not want to look made up!
The answer is rouge! And to get the blush to attach, you can prime with a little lip awl.
Some people usually apply powder / foundation on the lips. I myself have very dark lips naturally, and understand the principle that people want to lighten them down. But I can still not understand that you do it with skin color.
Then blush is much better, you get one more natural color which does not look particularly made up, and it feels almost nothing!
If you want lighter lips, you can take a very light blush, it at least looks better than foundation / powder (according to me)
Smart huh? :)
