Another part of living based on the advices given by my best
friends, took me yet to one more different decision, but this time regarding my
lips.
For me lipstick has always meant lip salve, a way to
regenerate and keep the natural color of my lips intact, even in the cold of
winter.
But, a cool advert in a glossy magazine, has manage to make
me take a step forward and tried a, may I say, crazy, really bold color of lipstick.
Exactly what it happened with the kitty cat glasses, this
bold, strident pink shade, was turned my world upside down and in just a couple
of minutes, I when from being a lip salve girl to wearing a fuchsia fever
lipstick. Yes, you read well, fuchsia, an intense pink made my lips pop out and
attract all the eyes that managed to interact with me. (I wasn’t on a man hunt,
just trying to live differently and to were bold things without making me feel
weird).
Fashion advice of the day!
Just do it! I know that most of you, just like me, have wondered
how it would be to wear those bright colors that look perfect in the adverts on
TV and then quickly change the thought because that type of color is available
for just some women. Well, may I tell you, that’s not true!
I never wore even lipstick, what can I say about bright colors,
which can be seen from a distance. LOOL
But, you should because it looks great! Yes you need to know
what color suits you but that doesn’t mean hours of learning and trying, it
just needs courage and a good advice from the sales person in the store.
So, till you decide to actually go in a store and try the
bold colors, here some advice on what to keep in mind when buying a bright lipstick:
Choose the lipstick that essentially has
vitamin, vitamin oils, and moisturizers that give your lips the much needed
care. Since you apply it on your lips, you need to be very careful while you
select the lipstick and ensure that you have the right components. This is
because the skin of your lips is very sensitive and they might darken if you
use a lipstick with wrong components. Lipstick without the moisturizers and
necessary vitamin causes dry and chapped lips.
Select the right texture. You can find lipsticks
with various textures: from light, glossy to thick and glossy. Different
individuals have dissimilar likings and selecting the textures depends on ones
comfort factor. Therefore, only go for that texture which will make you feel at
ease.
Picking out the color. A lot of women think that all the shades of pink
or red look the same to them. My tip is to go to the drugstore or department
store and just start picking out shades you like from the different lines you
like. Once you have five colors that pique you, line them up next to each
other. When shades are lined up you can see, "Oh, this is the more orange
one, or this looks a touch cooler, plummier." Understand? I never pick a
makeup color (lip or otherwise) without lining it up against similar shades.
Like my mom said, "We may not know what we like, but we definitely know
what we don't like." Try it!
Brighter lip color is a responsibility. I like
going out with a bold lip to wearing a white dress. You have to pay attention.
Bold lips aren't casual. If you want the wow factor, you have to pay for it . .
. with attention. A pop-of-color lip look means you have to reapply (with a
mirror) a few more times than you would a sheer gloss. The lines need to stay
crisp to look the most striking. You can either look at this as a pain in the
butt or as delicious, girly moments throughout the night. It's well worth it. A
bright lip is confident, sexy!
If shades of pink are not for you, red may come
in handy. What color red is best for my skin tone? Here's an easy guide: the
paler you are, the bluer the red. The darker you are, the warmer the red. In a
nutshell: if you are very pale, like Nicole Kidman, you want a
cool-toned red. Midtoned gals like Jennifer Aniston should use
a warmer red. The trick of having a red with a touch of gold is perfect for
everyone, but especially midtoned gals who may have trouble eyeing a warm red.
Deeper skin-toned gals, like Rosario
Dawson, should err on the warm, orange-y side. A nice brick red would have
the most flattering, cohesive effect.
And don’t forget, life is too short to get hung on small
things, wear anything you might like and be proud of yourself.
I have to say, that the lipstick that I bought is called: Fuchsia
fever from Maybelline. http://bit.ly/PH3Ok1
