Lipsticks Can Provide Protection For Your Lips

In ancient times the eye was the part of the body most enhanced through the use of make-up. Today it is the lips that get accentuated by women the most. Lipsticks and other lip cosmetics are applied to the lips to highlight what is considered to be the most irresistible and flirtatious appearance on a woman.

 A common application of lip products is by simply accenting the natural color of the lips with a clear lip gloss or by a light pink lip liner and a lip gloss tinted with pink. This provides a natural or a soft tone on the lips.

Other shades are available in lipsticks, lip liners and lip glosses but your complexion and other colors used in make-up applications on the face should be considered when choosing the appropriate shade for your lips. Other close to neutral tones that are popular to use include plum with a slight gold shimmer, soft mauve, red-toned pinks and also sheer that contain gold, reddish brown and red shimmers.

 Dark complexions look the most attractive in reddish browns, soft pinks, and light brown shades of lip products. Using a close-matched or a lighter shade in a lip gloss will work to make the lips fresh and full. Careful and precise use of a lip gloss can highlight the use of lipsticks and lip liners.

 For an effective gloss application over a lipstick product, make a small pool of lip gloss in your hand. With the tip of your finger spread the lip gloss on over the lipstick evenly. If using lip gloss to highlight a lipstick application that also uses a lip liner, start with adding lip gloss to the middle of the lip and work outwards in each direction that the lip liner will not be mixed in with the lipstick. If the combination does get smeared together, wipe off and start over again. Perfect lips are a must when the lips are such an attractive feature.

 A lip primer or a color fixative added to the lips prior to application of a matte lipstick will prevent unsightly effects such as drying, cracking or flaking. Lipstick combinations with lip glosses in silver or gold shimmers, depending on complexion, can be an exceptional way to create a fetching and eye-catching result to the lips. 

The health and beauty of your lips depend on receiving moisture through the skin. Be sure to use lip products that add rather than take moisture away from your lips. Vitamin E is probably the best option for an additional boost of moisture to one's lips and as a bonus Vitamin E gives the lips a glow that is a natural highlight to the face.

Another lip product that can make lips healthy, beautiful and a base to sexy lips is with a good lip balm. Apply a lip balm to the lips before using other lip products and this will trap in the moisture to give plump and smooth lips until a reapplication is necessary. Applying lipsticks or lip glosses over dry and cracked lips will only work to highlight the damage and will detract people.

Creamy lipsticks are another product that can be used on a daily basis to keep lips healthy and moisturized while still giving color. Lip glosses add a fresh, luscious and wet look to the lips.
