Make up that you apply on your mouth is anything that enhances your lips and makes it the focal point of your face. This group of make up includes lipstick, lip liner, and lip gloss. These are the most basic make ups for the mouth. Since they are the most basic, they are must-haves in every girl’s make up kit.

Some women find it difficult to apply make up for the mouth. The truth is, this is actually easier than, say, applying eye make up. As long as you know the following steps, your mouth will surely look full and attractive.

• It is important to choose the right lip color for your lips. Many women go for red to achieve a sexy vixen look. Others choose nude colors to achieve a more natural look. This depends on your mood and of course your skin color. For instance, if you have chocolate brown skin, pink or other light colors might not be a good option.
• Look in front of the mirror and apply the lip liner around your lips. You can make your lips look fuller by going beyond your lips and drawing a heart shaped outline on your upper lip. Make sure that the color of your lip liner matches the color of your lipstick.
• Apply the lipstick inside the outline. Do not go beyond the lip liner. You can apply the lipstick directly from the tube or you can use a small make up brush to apply the lipstick evenly on your mouth.
• Blot the color using a piece of tissue paper. The next step is to apply lip gloss all over your lips or on your lower lip. The shimmer provided by the lip gloss will further emphasize your lips.

One of the most basic make ups that every woman should have is the lipstick. This make up for the mouth has been used by women many years ago and up to now women all over the world are still using them. Lipstick is a tube of make up that is applied on the lips to give them color and to make them more attractive. They come in a wide array of colors—from the very basic colors like red and pink to out of this world colors like neon colors. It is important that you choose the right color that will enhance your lips and will make you look more attractive.

• If you are wearing heavy eye make up, you should downplay your make up for the mouth. Some women think that applying heavy make up on all of their facial features is attractive. In fact, it makes them look like heavily made-up clowns. For instance, if you already have dramatic eye make up, try wearing nude or light lip color that will not compete with the eye make up.
• You can apply lip color any way you want. Some women prefer to use a make up brush to apply color on their lips. They said using a make up brush allows them to apply the color evenly on their lips. Others prefer to use their fingers. And there are also many women who apply the lip color straight from the tube. Choose the method that will work best for you. There is no strict rule on how you should apply the color on your mouth.
• Make sure that your lip liner color matches the color of your lipstick. It would look bad if the outline around your lips looks obvious because it is a different shade. Choose matching colors for your make ups for the mouth.

Lip Line Is Important To Achieve A Perfect Looking Lips

Quick But Effective Lip Makeup

Some of us have less perfect lips than others. But don't despair! There are plenty of tips to help make your lips more balanced and beautiful. You can have lips that look like the masterpiece done by a makeup artist simply by following a few important steps. Above all, you should apply foundation over the lips to provide a base for lip liner and lipstick. Generally, perfect looking lips are attainable and begin with an ideal lip line. Lip liner is not essential but if used, it should be applied first. It should either be neutral in color or match the shade of your lipstick and not darker than your lipstick, so that if the lipstick fades, you don't walk around with only the outline showing. Then, keep your mouth-closed and trace a fine line around the lips with a sharp pencil. Start at the v of the top lip and move outward to lip corners by making short strokes. After lining the top lip, begin from the middle of the bottom lip and move outward also. To make lips look larger, you should follow the outer edge of the natural lip line and if you want to make lips look smaller just follow the inside of the natural lip line. It is believed that lipstick will stay on longer if the whole lip is filled in with lip liner before lipstick is applied. Last, apply lipstick with a lipstick brush and lay a tissue across both lips to blot with lips closed.

Applying The Color

For applying the color, you can stretch your lips and starting at the center and glide the color to the corners. Lip brushes help you to color your lips and avoid the application of excess color. A quick way of applying color is to use the lipstick to stain the bottom lip, press them together to transfer some of the color to the upper lip and then use the angle tip of the sponge applicator to refine lip edges. Pale colored women can go for light orange color with a pinkish tint while olive skin can use brownish bronze shade. There are lipsticks that add warmth and volume to your lips and are also have a flavor and perfume of their own. Older women should use creamier lipsticks. Orange and brown shades make people’s teeth appear yellow so unless you have that picture-perfect smile, keep them off your lips. Brown toned lips take on brown shades such as apricots, beiges, peaches and cappuccinos better than pink or blue toned lipsticks. Every one has her favorite colors of lipstick. If you bought a lipstick shade you hate, don't throw it away. The big trend in lipsticks these days is blending several shades together. Mix and match lipsticks and glosses to find your perfect color.
