ASSYMETRICAL LIPS
|
For uneven lips, you can mix matte and glossy lipsticks to enhance or reduce the asymmetrical parts or even blend lighter and darker tones to get the right look. Stay away from vivid shades and try to enhance your eyes with makeup to draw attention from your lips.
 |
LARGE LIPS
|
If you go for a shinny or shimmery look, your large lips can become a dominating feature, in a less than flattering way. Stay well within the natural borders of your lips and choose softer colors with a matte finish.
 |
BOTTOM HEAVY LIPS
|
Use a tiny dot of white and blend it well on your upper lip to bring balance to bottom heavy lips. Alternatively, you can try combining two very similar shades, with the lighter one on your top lip to enhance it.
 |
TOP HEAVY LIPS
|
Get the best look using two very similar shades: the darker on your top lip and the lighter on your lower lip. If you want to stick to the exact same color, you can blend a small dot of white at the center of your lower lip to give them both a more even look.
 |
THIN LIPS
|
Darker shades of lipstick tend to make thin lips look even smaller, so your best bet involves a brighter shade. You can use a lip liner, in a shade slightly darker, but in the same family as your base color. Gently outline just outside that natural shape. If you want to give you lips a more plump look, use frosted colors.
Now you know what lipstick fits your lip shape.....xoxo Pontiac!!
