How to Do ideal Red Lips

Some things are truly difficult — climbing install Everest, stating no to the last French fry, discovering exactly how to breakdance when you’re over 30 as well as totally inflexible (particularly in the hamstrings) — however other things, like achieving a ideal red lip, aren’t that difficult at all.

Smooth, symmetrical red lips with crisp, yet not harsh, edges are simple with the best tools, a few suggestions as well as a bit practice. By the end of this post, you will NOT look like a demented clown about to go on a rampage at a children’s birthday celebration (although this occurs in some cases when I try to do lip liner on bare lips). quite soon you’ll be doing ’em like a seasoned pro.

MAINOS

So, let’s begin at the extremely beginning, which is a extremely great location to start.

Um…I believe I may or may not have just quoted noise of Music, however whatever!

1. apply lipstick to the center area of your lips

Begin by applying (directly from the bullet) the red lipstick you’d like to wear around the center area of your lips. The essential here: don’t take the lipstick all the method out to the edges.

At this point, as is the situation so frequently with makeup, if you’re doing it right, it’ll look kinda weird…

2. now drag the lipstick out to your natural lip line

Using a lip clean packed with the exact same red lipstick, fill in the edges around the area you used from the bullet a moment ago, dragging a few of the existing lipstick out while likewise painting all the method to the edge of your lip line. We’re doing this since the clean is much more comprehensive than the lipstick bullet.

Try to get that lip line smooth as well as even, however it doesn’t have to be ideal at this point.

3. Line your lips with a lip liner in a complementary color

Now set aside the lip brush, as well as get a sharpened red lip liner (sharpen it first, since we want the point to be good as well as sharp) in a color that complements your lipstick.

Take that lip liner, as well as begin drawing a line best around the edge of your lip, complying with your natural lip line, as well as we have two reasons for this. First, we’re producing a limit for our red lipstick outside of which we won’t go, as well as second, we’re likewise utilizing this as an chance to modify the shape of our lips, if requirement be, to make them look completely symmetrical. Like, one side of my lips is thinner than the other, so I somewhat overdraw that side at this step to make my lips look even as well as full.

Next, with the exact same lip clean you utilized earlier, although this time around without any type of additional product on it, carefully merge the line you produced with your lip pencil into the lipstick to soften the appearance of the lip liner.

4. clean up any type of errors with concealer

If you made any type of boo-boos, like if you unintentionally drew outside your natural lip line, or if you just want to sharpen an edge a bit, appropriate the line by drawing along the edges somewhat beyond your natural lip line utilizing either a flat, thin concealer clean with a bit bit of concealer on it, or a flesh-toned eye pencil (like I’m doing here).

After you’re done fixing, pat as well as smudge the concealer in (if you utilized any) with a Q-tip or your finger, since we don’t want to just leave that line of concealer there as it is.

5. highlight your Cupid’s bow

Lastly, as well as this is type of a perk step, carefully run a clean or finger with a cream or powder highlighter on it across the top of your Cupid’s bow. That way, when the light hits your lips, your Cupid’s bow will show that shimmery highlight as well as look even fuller.

5. The completed look

Vakavasti, kuinka söpöjä nämä ovat? He ovat yleensä standardi-kliinipuistoa huulille – sama mega kosteuttava, ei-tahmea kaava ja pelkkä väri – mutta uskomattoman erityisellä Crayola-vaatteilla.

Jos elämäsi on tällä hetkellä rauhallinen ja järjestetty, näytä minulle tapoja!

Three ways to Brow Wow With the new $34 benefit Brow Kits in Soft & Natural, defined & refined and bigger & Bolder

The new benefit Brow Kits, $34 each
Good morning, glory! Today we’re talking brows, and I’m wondering…would any plaid skirt-wearing, midriff-bearing ’90s girl worth her salt have bothered with any of the new benefit Brow Kits back in the day? As a survivor of the decade that gave us the Jeremy Jordan (and, as someone who plucked away her brows into oblivion), I think I can safely say hell NO.

All matte errrthing? Kujertaa’. Dark brown vampire lips? Feelin’ it. Of all the ’90s makeup trends that have boomeranged back into the public consciousness recently, I’m so happy the ’90s brow has stayed back in ye olde times.

MAINOS

OMG, dude. Or should I should I say ’90s non-brow? — because really, there wasn’t a whole lot of brow to be working with.

So, yeah, I love big brows and I cannot lie, and it looks like benefit does too because their new $34 Brow Kits are all about full, lush brows.

Each one comes in versions with light, medium or dark shades and a different mix of full- and travel-sized brow products for specific looks…depending on what you’d like to wear with your Docs, velvet choker and your babydoll floral print dress sinä päivänä.

The Soft & natural brows kit

First, to add just a little oomph to your natural brows, there’s the Soft & natural brows kit.

This one suits my style the most because I like a full brow that doesn’t look overly drawn in.

Wearing the benefit Soft & natural Brow kit
Of the products in this one, the star of the show has to be ready set Brow, which is the best clear brow gel in the universe IMO (it totally kicks the Anastasia one I used for years to the curb). Seriously, you could moonwalk through a wind tunnel, and your brows would still be in place with this stuff.

The kit also includes a High Brow Pencil highlighting brow stick, a Goof proof Brow Pencil (which really is goof-proof because of its smooth texture, and because it has a perfect amount of pigment), and some Shaping Stencils, which look particularly crazy when you take silly pics with them.

Kunhan sanoin’.

Shaping stencil!
The defined & refined brows kit

The next level up is the defined & refined brows kit. grab this one if you want a step up from an uber-natural brow but aren’t ready to go full-on Insta-brows yet.

It includes a full-sized High Brow Pencil, a Browvo Conditioning Primer, a precisely My Brow Pencil, and this magic wand-looking thingamabob called the Brow Mapping Tool, which you hold up to your brows at three different points (the kit comes with a how-to booklet) to find your optimal brow shape.

The tool from the defined & refined Brow kit
Thanks to this kit, I discovered my new favorite brow product — the SO good Browvo Conditioning Primer. It’s like a clear, soft hold gel that you comb through your bare brows before filling them in, and it grabs whatever you use to fill in sparse spots (pencil, powder, gel, etc.) and keeps it from fading. I’m definitely adding it to my brow routine.

The bigger & Bolder brows kit

Finally, if you’re looking to crank your brows all the way up to full-on Insta-brow status, get them the bigger & Bolder brows kit.

Wearing the bigger & Bolder brows kit
This one comes with the big guns for dramatic brows — Ka-Brow Cream-Gel Brow color (if you like a lot of color in your brows, it’s handy, and the hidden angled brush in the cap works surprisingly well), a tube of ready set Brow Gel, a High Brow Pencil and the Shaping Stencils.

All of the kits are available now at benefit boutiques, Sephora, Ulta, benefit counters and online, and they’re $34 each.

I know I ask this from time to time, but how have you been wearing your brows lately, and what are your favorite brow products at the moment?
