Choosing The Right Lip Color & sporting Bordeaux Lips

No one would want to wear the wrong lip color, especially the ones that just divert attention from your shimmering pink lips to yellow teeth....

We provide tips on how to choose the right lip color:

Pale Pink Lips

1. Pale pink: Instead of blah nudes that make teeth look more yellow, pick brightening shimmery pinks.

2. Sheer pink: A hydrating, see through gloss with a hint of a berry (versus orange-y versions like coral) counteracts subtle yellowing.

Light Pink Lips

3. Light pink: Bolder than sheer glosses, these matte rose shades have just the right blue undertone to minimize yellowish tinges on teeth.

Bright Pink Lips

4. Bright pink: Whether bubble gum or fuchsia, these electric blue-based coolers dramatically brighten.

Bright Red Lips

5. Bright red: Bold, opaque reds can make teeth appear up to two shades whiter. Apply two layers straight from the tube for a more intense effect.

6. Deep red: It's little surprise that the classic femme fatale color creates the ultimate sexy smile. Apply with your finger for a lasting stain-like finish.

Deep Red Lips

Bordeaux Lips for You….

Be it runways or real life, deep, dry berry lips are everywhere. Celebs, divas and makeup enthusiasts are seen sporting them since the look is easy to wear and looks tempting. Here's how you can pull off Bordeaux lips like a star...

Moisturize the lips: Moist and hydrate your lips before going ahead with the lip color, to avoid creases. Outline the lips with a similar color or a darker shade lip pencil.

Choose the color: Begin with choosing the perfect lip color from berry stain, rich burgundy, matte maroon or deep purple. Bordeaux lips look best in matte, but get a slightly creamy formula that glides smoothly on the lips. After lip-liner, apply the color and you are ready with fuller lips.

Bordeaux Lips

Subtle skin: Keep the skin rich and a little glossy with clear finish to balance the deep-tone lips. Apply minimal blush and use neutral colors. Avoid highlighting the cheekbones too much.

Highlight eyes: You can either go dramatic with the eyes or keep it simple with a kajal. Use mascara and go dazzle at any party or celebration.
