Lips
What
do J. Lo, Whitney, Mariah and Madonna all have in common? Fabulous
lips. Perfectly defined, lush, deliciously polished and shined.
Here's how to capture the secrets of the stars and blow him a
kiss he'll never forget.
The
secrets start with your skin tone
Ever
buy a lipstick and take it home only to find it just doesn't look
right on you. That's because as luscious as a color looks in the
tube, no color works for everyone. The key is to match up your
lipcolor with your natural skin tone.
Fair
skin - Choose colors with a blue tone in them. If your
hair is light, you'll find roses and pink reds most flattering.
Avoid deep cherry red or harsh orange-y shades.If you have dark
hair,deep reds, berries or plum colors look dramatic and rich.
Musts to avoid: Super pale shades will wash you out and deep earth
tones are too extreme unless you're tan.
Medium
skin - Warm your skin, especially if it has a sallow
or olive cast, with vibrant peaches and orangey reds, Pure reds,
light to warm beiges, chocolate brown, terra cottas and other
earth tones look spectacular. Musts to avoid: blue-toned plums,
wines, grapes.
Dark
skin - Go vibrant and bright as you dare. Rich berry
shades, wine reds, Hot plums. You can wear them all. Musts to
avoid: muddy, brown shades or extremely pale tones.
When you want something different, Go from J. Lo to Jell-O
with this juicy tip - Create a great natural-looking lip stain
that really lasts. It's right in your kitchen cabinet. Dip a cotton
swab in red Jell-o powder and stroke across your lips. After 5
minutes, lick it off and top with a sheer layer of clear or red
gloss. Your smile is set for hours.
