How to pick the perfect lipstick

I was never a lipstick person until a few years ago as you wouldn't have seen me out with any kind of lipstick (i only ever used chap stick) i just thought that no colour suited my skin tone, but that all changed when i decided that ill just go for it and buy a neutral colour. 

The next day i decided to wear it and I'm so glad i did as i got so many compliments that day (it was so good.!) even my partner thought i looked good! (that's a bonus especially coming from him.) so from that day forward i have loved wearing lipstick.

I have done a bit of research and have put together this list to help you pick out which lipstick suits your skin tone, so next time your standing in the makeup aisle it wont take you twice as long to choose the perfect colour.


Lipstick comes in different formula's that can really impact your look. Also the condition of your lips can play a major roll on how your lipstick applies.

Matte

Very on trend at the moment, and can look bold and beautiful. If you have dry, flaky lips the colour will go into all the cracks and lines on your lips, and that's not a very nice look. Matte lipsticks are also known to be very drying on the lips. 

Gloss 

The perfect choice for dry lips, will help your dry lips feel soft and even more plumper and will be so much more comfortable on the lips.

Long Lasting 

This kind of lipstick will stay on for hours and will survive all day, even eating and drinking. The perfect lipstick if you hate re applying all day long. 

Shimmer 

These lipsticks have a glittery finish and light-reflecting properties, more suitable for a night out with the girlfriends. 

Tip

Whenever applying any kind of lipsticks, exfoliate your lips so that your lipsticks will glide on so easily and you'll look fabulous. 

What is your skin tone?

Fair skin

Fair skin looks the best with red, red with pink undertones, magenta and blue-toned pinks. Fair skin often has a hard time wearing a nude lip. NOTE: colours tend to look brighter on paler skin tones.

Medium/olive skin

Medium to colour skin looks best with true pinks, cranberries, brick red and classic nudes.

Dark skin

Dark skin often is best suited for reds with burgundy or brown, dark beige, orange-toned reds and pinks.

I really hope this information was useful. Please tell me what kind of lipsticks you like in the comments below. 

Hope everyone is having an awesome day.!! :) 

5 Essential makeup tips for spring

When transitioning to the warmer weather i always have to change up my makeup to prevent oily skin. I mainly get a oily T-ZONE and that's not a nice look when your out. So i have got some tips here to try out if you like. Tell me in the comments if you get oily skin in the warmer months. (the struggles)

Tip 1

Swap foundation for BB cream

Make sure your tinted moisturiser or BB cream has SPF to protect you from our harsh sun. Choose a shade that blends flawlessly into your neck and don't forget to set it with any translucent or pressed powder.

Tip 2

Use a bronzer

Apply your bronzer over your forehead , nose and cheekbones to give the skin a nice natural glow and make sure to blend with a powder brush.

Tip 3

Serum

Skin can get oily a lot quicker in the warmer months. A great way to combat this is to ditch the moisturiser, which can also leave your skin a greasy, and use a lighter serum, it penetrates the skin better.

Tip 4

Use primer 

These are a must. They help makeup adhere to your skin longer. Some can even blur any imperfections. 

Tip 5

Blotting Sheets

Make sure oil blotting sheets are a staple in your bag during the warmer months. They get rid of the grease, but leaves your makeup intact. (which is awesome.!) 

I really hope that this has been useful. Please if you know any other makeup tips, i would love it if your would share them in the comments.!! Thanks 

have an awesome day :)
