#9 Did I hear you correctly, you never use a lip liner?
I would be a jillionaire (a fictitious obscene amount of money!) if I had a dollar for every time I hear, ‘I wear lipstick but it just seems to disappear so sometimes I just don’t even bother’.
Angelina is perfection in this natural make-up, believe me, it is still a lot of make-up!
“Hello!” lip liners are a girl’s most incredible best friend. Heck, I can slap on a pair of sunglasses and a lip liner, with a bit of gloss and run out the door if I have to. Why are they so valuable? Lip liners create definition, helps to hold lipstick or gloss within the lines especially when you have some wrinkling around them that cause your color to bleed. You can correct slight lip imperfections too.
- If I really want my lipstick to last, I use a foundation and
- set with a powder
- liner
- lipstick
- blot
- set with powder again
- tap on a second coat of lipstick
- finish with gloss at the pout and you have an all day lip!
Yes, sometimes you can wear it off at lunch, but you have the base in place so just re-line and lipstick with a touch of shimmer at the pout and you are good to go!
Another fabulous lip liner tip, you can take a bright liner, line your lips, then put a dull lipstick on, creating a whole new color and vice versa. I do this all the time.
A nice little example of a make-up artists way to enhance the lips, a great illustration. I do use this method on myself when I want to look my absolute best!
You also realize, those natural looking girls in the magazine have tons of make-up on, right? Oh yeah, which translates into a natural looking lip liner on top of a foundation set with powder. Because if you believe, the image you see in the magazines is an untouched photo, then baby, take a trip to “you tube” and watch a few of these.
HOLY COW, there I said it for you already! Lastly, this is why my photos are not retouched at all whatsoever. You need to see real women for a change!
See ya tomorrow, have a fabulous day.
“Photo Retouching”
This one is very quick, but a great example of how everything we look at is manipulated!
“The Beauty Lie”
“The Perfect Lie”
Amazing! You can see what these artists can do! All of these videos are incredible. You can see tons of them on You Tube. I thanks these artists for posting the reality of publication.
