Lippies

Hey lovlies ! Being a make up addict I'm constantly on the search for new products - however my rule of thumb with make up is that it should enhance your look opposed to taking over your face. That's why on a day-to-day to basis I prefer to wear neutrals with golden-peachy undertones. With that said it's a lot easier said than done. With such an array of colours and tones to choose from it can be a little bit overwhelming. So when I'm looking for complementary colours I always keep in mind a few things; first of all, skin undertone - I can not stress this enough ! You need to find out what your undertone is (red, neutral, beige, yellow, gold). Once you've figured that out, you're already half way there - you can pick out colours that have a simliar undertone tone. If you're having trouble figuring this out, you can just go to a make up store and they will gladly tell you. Secondly ladies, keep in mind how comfortable you are - bare in mind where you're going to be wearing your lipsticks, what lighting and if you feel comfortable wearing certain shades. for example, I bought Lady Gaga's Viva Glam I bright pink & every time I wore it I thought it looked too beg for attention lol I eventually got used to it & now I wear it every once in a while. And finally the texture of the lipstick/lipgloss - some people are highly irritated with extremely tacky lipglosses, some people don't like matte lipsticks. Ideally you're looking for something that's moisturizing opposed to drying - nobody wants dried up lipstick ! So here are some of may favourite lippies & lipglosses - you'll notice I put a red in there too - that's because I've been wearing red a lot more often :)
