Important rule you should follow when buying lipstick is to check its color in daylight. If you want to know how it will look on your lips, apply lipstick on a finger because the skin color on that place closely matches with the natural color of your lips.

Lips lose their color with age.

Red lipstick has something magical and every woman can wear it, but you need to choose a shade that fits you best. The older you are your natural lip color is brighter, so don't apply lipstick on the edge of the lips to prevent the fusion of the facial skin.

Lady Gaga make-up artist Cassie Lomas stressed the importance of lips scrub. It is necessary to remove the dry skin layer with an exfoliation and then apply a nourishing lip balm.

Don't put lipstick on teeth!

To avoid unpleasant and often a mistake, lipstick on your teeth after application of the favorite colors put a finger on the lower lip, squeeze your lips and pull the finger, and with it the surplus lipstick.

New Make-up Trends For Spring 2011

First of all, you can expect a totally "nude" and natural makeup, but also timeless smokey eyes effect, neon and bright colors on the eyes and the intense red, pink or coral matte lips ... I would single out these four major trends as the dominant and the choice is of course, entirely yours!


Accentuated lips

Dynamic, intense and bold trend are certainly matte lips with bright colors. You might say that this kind of make-up is only for young girls, but you're wrong - it can be perfectly worn by more mature women. Of course, you need to wear it in those situations where you're sure you'll feel comfortable with this "screaming" lips of dynamic colors, with the message - "look at me!"

Lips are very intense and lively, and the colors used emphasize sexiness and playfulness. This spring, lipstick shades that will be the most worn are red, coral, orange, pink and purple - the colors that are sure to attract enormous attention. For enhanced seduction (and why not?), try the matte version of any of these shades. This year don't put too much lip gloss over the basic lipstick, completely matte lips are in! Be sure to first draw your lips with the appropriate lip pencil, and even go a little, but quite a bit, outside the natural lip line! Eyes are completely natural - only one layer of mascara.

Natural look

This spring, we just can not avoid completely fresh and elegant natural look. It seems there is no end to the popularity of "nude" and natural look and that's great, because this kind of makeup in the best way highlights the natural beauty and provides a fabulous trendy look. Cheeks are refreshed with subtle touch of blush, the eyes can be, or not, defined with the natural brown shades while in the inner corner of the eye can be put a little highlighter (white pencil). We just need mascara on the eyelashes and lips with nothing or very little neutral color lipstick and we have created a delicate and sophisticated look that will definitely attract attention!

The eyes are prominent and colorful

All of you who have beautiful and expressive eyes can further emphasize their beauty with bright colorful eye shadows. You can use the classic shades, delicate pastel shades or really pigmented eyeshadow. The colors that are in are: yellow, orange, pink, coral, turquoise, green and blue. These are must-try colors that will highlight the beauty of your eyes and draw attention. If you are using a very pigmented eye shadows, make sure that your foundation is perfectly applied and that all irregularities are covered with concealer, because these eye shadows require a flawless complexion! Above the upper lashes you can apply black eyeliner and black mascara on the lashes in several layers. If you want a gentler and more open view, apply the white pencil, and for more insidious and dramatic look, use a black pen! You can leave the lips natural or apply red lipstick!

Smokey eyes

It seems that we will never get bored of experimenting with smokey variations! Smokey is not only easy to apply but also very nice to see. With just a few tips and tricks, you can easily become a master of this technique. Reach for the usual black and gray, or to look trendy spice up your eyes with gray-green or dark blue eye shadow. Highlight smokey eyes by applying a little pink, orange or caramel blush on the cheeks! Lips remain natural, without anything!

The Best Friend Of Your Make-up Bag

Big or small, in pink or gray bag, your make up collection won't be complete without a few basic things. Once you discover them, you will hardly function without them, at least as far as makeup.


A set of good brushes. I have talked about brushes on several occasions. There are a few basic brushes without which you will find hard to apply your make up. More on the basic brushes that you need read in our post about the brushes.

LAURA MERCIER Travel Brush Set

Eyelash curler. Until recently I haven't used it. And then I bought one and I was reborn. Let's be realistic, no mascara on this world, no matter how huge her brush is, won't twist the eyelids and open your view like you are going to achieve with the eyelash curler. Curl them in a hurry - one click at the very root of the lashes, one in the middle and one at the top for that magnificent arch.

SHISEIDO Eyelash Curler

Good mascara. Once you curled your eyelashes, all you need for the full effect is a good mascara. If your lashes are long enough, but don't have volume, use large brush, such as Maybelline Colossal or Max Factor false lash effect, and for short lashes try, for example, L'Oreal Beauty Tubes and L'Oreal Telescopic. Apply mascara in a single layer from roots, moving it from side to side as you progress towards the ends, and then, while half dries, put some more on the peaks.

Maybelline Colossal

Foundation. I've already talked about foundation in one of the articles. With foundation it is essential that you don't apply too much (to cover the major deficiencies, use concealer after foundation), and to choose the perfect shade, and a formula that suits your type of face.

Lip Balm. There is nothing worse than cracked and dry lips. Forget the lipstick - it will accumulate in the crevices and look very ugly, especially if it is a darker shade. Rescue your lips with a good lip balm, but also at least once a week, while brushing teeth, gently brush the lips to remove dead cells.

Beeswax Lip Balm

Blush. Once you have covered every irregularity on your face, it looks very dull and lifeless. So make sure you apply a little bit of blush on the tops of cheekbones (which you will discover when you smile). Use creamy blush without or after you put foundation, and the one in stone if you use powder. If you have pale skin, use pink shades, and for a darker complexion would suit more peach and shades of brick.

DiorBlush Glowing Color Powder Blush

Eyebrows set. Under this we mean, or a small eyebrows palette, or eyeshadow in the shade of your hair + slantwise brush, or a well-tapered eyebrow pen and shaver. If you have an eyebrow color that stand out from the color of your hair or eyebrows that are thin, irregular, this is definitely a must have.

Brow Grooming Set

Mirror. This may not go into the category of cosmetics, but certainly it is very important in make-up. The best option is self-standing mirror with two sides and one has a zoom (avoid it if you have problems with skin, except when you do your makeup). I have a round Revlon mirror, which has a built-in light around the mirror, so I can do my make-up in the dark. Set up mirror near the source of daylight - I hold it on a table by the window. That way you will avoid putting to much makeup.

Tweezermate 10x Lighted Mirror

Red lipstick. Yes, you are a girl for red lipstick. All you need is a little confidence and adequate shade. You once put a friends red lipstick and after that you never tried it? Wrong! Try several shades and put it on for a Saturday night out. If you have a fair complexion, choose coral shades, if you are a medium dark choose one that has a pink undertone, and if your have dark complexion choose dark shades, such as burgundy. Don't overdo with eyes makeup when you wear red lipstick.

Estee Lauder Signature Hydra Lustre Lipstick

Wet wipes. Except for removing makeup, keep them near while you apply makeup. Use them to clean brushes, moistening brushes (for applying wet eyeshadow), erasing any possible errors and dirty fingers from eyeshadow so it doesn't end up on your face. You do not need expensive wipes - buy a pack of children wipes. They are much cheaper than cosmetic, and if they are good for the baby's butt - they are good for your face.


Ear sticks. There is always a pile of ear sticks by my cosmetic mirror. I use them primarily for the correction when applying a liner (dampen it with wet wipes), mascara, red lipstick ... And you can use them for smudging pencil or applying eyeshadow (for example, in the inner corner of eye and below the eye).


Without which cosmetic product you can't live? As for me, it would be foundation and mascara.

A True Icon: Red Lipstick

Lipstick is a favorite makeup for every woman, especially red, so sexy and so controversial! The rule of red lipstick will continue in the 2011, so arm yourselves!


Controversial history

I hope you find something personal in the history of lipstick. Keep in mind that the red lipstick is a "look at me" color! Wear it with confidence or don't wear it at all! Did you know that painting your lips dates from ancient Egyptian times? Greeks and Romans also decorated lips with a mixture of colors, pigments, oils and wax, men and women alike. Even Cleopatra had lipstick made from petroleum jelly and crushed red rose petals. Then, as now, red color was considered as a symbol of passion and power.

Lipstick began to gain more popularity in the 16th century in England. Queen Elizabeth, a powerful ruler, and trendsetter, wore a red lipstick that was only available to higher caste. However, not everyone liked the lipstick and in 1770 the British parliament passed a law that prohibits the red lipstick - a woman who wore red lipstick, was considered a witch. U 19. In the 19th century, make up is still not fully accepted, Queen Victoria felt rough to use it.

However, as the years passed, particularly the relocation to the American continent, where it seemed that everything is possible, women began to wear stronger colors on lips.


Don't forget me!

1871 Guerlain creates a red lipstick called, "Ne m'oubliez pas," which means "do not forget me"! In the 20-ties, after the war, dark red lipsticks were very popular which was a symbol of new power and strength. At that time it was appropriate to wear red lipstick during the day and at lunch, but not at night.

The development of film industry in Hollywood made the lipstick red a must-have among the actresses who are very well aware that everything emphasized is very welcome! Hollywood starlets like Gloria Swanson and Lana Turner have helped increase the popularity of lipstick. 1930 Elizabeth Arden is starting to produce different colors of lipsticks, opened a beauty salon, and thus allows the average woman make access to make up and during World War II creates a lipstick red called "Montezuma Red" (the name inspired by the Aztec ruler). Red lipstick in this difficult time of war is what women needed to survive, it was on the list of necessary food in America!


Marilyn Monroe with her blond hair and red lips was the ambassador of red lipstick as well as Elizabeth Taylor with her siren-red lips! In 1970 Chanel launched the first lipstick with a shimmering pigments. Madonna in 1986 says that her favorite red color is "Russian Red" from MAC cosmetics, then this becomes a bestseller. Later, MAC again launches hit color "Viva Glam", red lipstick, whose sales brought tens of millions of dollars for the MAC AIDS Fund. Can you believe how people can help through a "normal" red lipstick? 2000 Lancôme has created a revolutionary lipstick "Rouge Absolu Creme" especially moisturizing and with gel texture.

The message of strength and femininity

Pigments used in the preparation of lipstick are different colors, from red to brown. Oils which often provide the smell of roses are also used, which are: castor oil, lanolin, cocoa butter, olive oil or mineral oil.

Throughout history, women were afraid of their red lips. Of course, in recent decades, the pastel colors are more popular, but the red lips are the ones that attract attention and retain the view. The ancient Egyptians painted their lips and eyes in red. In ancient Japan, Geisha painted her face in white and lips in red. Red lips are a universal symbol!


Lets continue to the modern beauties: red-haired actress Alicia Witt looks stunning, with bright red hair and perfect red lips, Scarlett Johansson, with her curves, porcelain complexion and lips made an image of blond seductress. With red lipstick, she looks just like the legendary Marilyn Monroe! Red lipstick adore Gwen Stefani, Christina Aguillera, Dita Von Teese, Megan Fox, Rihanna, Sienna Miller, Katy Perry and many others also adore red lipstick!
