Lipstick Tricks



Hello Everyone

Yesterday I went to a department store to try some lipstick and I was thinking to write this post and share with all of you, some small tricks, that I use when I'm going for lipticks shopping.

It's just plain unhygienic to try lipsticks directly on your lips, there are some many bacterias and germs living in there, "and they are really quite happy" but the true is, that they are many people whom just forget to wipe it off or simply do not have the knowledge who has been touching those, and lot of people who suffer form herpes, (which I am of of them) specially in winter time, and we are passing the same infection and germs to others, so here are a some tips and tricks on how to test lipsticks, and how to enhace you beautiful lips.


  • Test the lipstick on your fingertips. Yes the fingertips!!!!!!It's a closer mach to your lips color than the back of your hand, is 95% accurate.


  • For "plump" lips, apply liner just outside your natural lip line dab a bit of gloss in the middle of your bottom lip and VOILA big plump and luscious lips, and remember Lipstick will last longer if you fill in your lips with the liner first.


  • If you're using light lipstick, try a nude liner (2 of my favorites are both my MAC Oak and Stripdown) then slick your lipstick on top.


  • If you fill in your lips first with the liner, the gloss has something to stick to and definitely will be staying longer.


  • Never use a dark liner with light lipstick, or make sure the liner matches the lipstick or gloss. Dark liner and light lips is tacky
Do you have any lips tricks or tips?? tell me about it... :)
