Tips for Choose the Best Lipstick Color

Choosing the lipstick  color that suits you best can make all the difference in whether your makeup makes you look overdone, washed out, or like a more beautiful version of you. However, many women have a difficult time choosing their best lipstick color.


Step 1
Determine whether you have fair skin, medium skin, olive skin or dark (brown or black) skin.

Step 2
Use your skin tone to determine which shade of lipstick will look best on you.

Step 3
If you have fair skin, choose deep plum and wine reds with a blue undertone, light browns or beige with a       pink undertone, or light shiny pinks with blue undertones.

Step 4
If you have medium skin tone, choose deep browns, deep reds with blue undertones, warm reds, medium       browns with pink or yellow undertones, deep, rich pinks, and pinks with brown undertones.

Step 5
Choose deep and rich browns with reddish or mahogany undertones, dark berry shades, and rich and dark       pinks with yellow undertones if you have yellowish or olive skin.

Step 6
Choose dark reds with blue undertones, deep plums, any shade of brown, soft sheer pinks and beige      shades, and deep berry shades if you have dark skin tone.

Step 7
Wear lighter and glossier shades if you have thinner lips, as they generally make thin lips appear fuller.       Dark lipsticks will make your thin, small lips even thinner and smaller.

Step 8
Wear darker, matte lipsticks if you have very full lips.

Step 9
Wear deeper, darker or bolder lipstick colors and shades with light eye makeup.

Step 10
Wear a lighter or more neutral lip color to complement heavier eye makeup.

Step 11
Wear lighter and more neutral colors of lipstick with a matte or cream finish during the day (at work, for example), and save your darker, glossier and more dramatic colors for a night on the town.

5 Best Tips for Perfect Bridal Makeup For Your Wedding

As a new bride, you know it's important for your makeup to look perfect on your big day. It doesn't matter if your wedding will be on a white sandy beach or at night, under the stars, keeping your makeup simple will help you to look and feel like the queen you are.

 Here are a few tips to help you get the perfect bridal makeup look in time for your ceremony.

1. Get a facial done two weeks prior to your wedding. The reason for the long wait time is because some facials can leave your skin looking reddish and irritated, so you want to make time for your skin to heal, and especially if you get one of those chemical peels.

2. Drinking lots of pure water is the best way possible to maintain a clear complexion. Water also helps to flush out impurities from your skin. So, make sure you keep a few bottles of water with you every day.

3. If you choose to do your makeup yourself to save a little cash, be sure to get all the beauty tips you can from various beauty consultants and leave months in advance to practice until you've got your look down... perfect.

4. If you tend to get a little weepy during wedding, it's a strong possibility you'll start to cry during your wedding as well. So, picking waterproof mascara is ideal for teary eyes.

5. Remember, shine is the # 1 enemy for photos so keep away from anything too glittery or shiny. Makeup looks best if it has a matte finish in neutral tones, but soft pastels look soft and pretty as well.

Of course, if you're still nervous about doing your makeup yourself, you can always ask for help from a makeup expert. The last tip I can give you is that if you choose to let a makeup artist do your makeup, be sure to try them out before the day of your wedding.
