 Tips for the lips:
· Preparation - always start with well conditioned lips! For kissable lips apply a lip balm 30 mins or so prior to deeply moisturise your lips. Wipe away any excess before beginning with your lip liner.
· For small or uneven lips always use a lip liner for fuller looking, well balanced lips.
· By lining your entire mouth, including the sides and body of the lips your chosen lip colour will last longer.
· For fuller looking lips apply a liner one shade darker than your own lip colour.
· Lip liner does not need to be the same colour as your lipstick or gloss. Natural, nude colours work great with all colours. (Try Adorn’s ‘Lip Define’ mineral pencils in Toffee, Rustic Mocha, Natural Pink or Natural Red. RRP $25)
· For brighter, whiter teeth stay away from brown shades as this can draw attention to discoloured teeth. Red is a great colour for instant teeth brightening – but stay away from blue based reds as these too can accentuate discolouration. (Try Adorn’s Perfect Pout Mineral Lipstick in Natural red. RRP $32)
Eyelluring looks:
· Ensure your eyeliner is sharp so you do not drag the delicate skin around the eyes.
· Eyeliner should be applied at the lash line to create the illusion of fuller eyelashes.
· You can use eyeliner to change the shape of your eyes; extending the line on the outer corners out and up is one way to do this.
· Always ensure the outer ¼ of the eye is thicker than the rest of the line.
· Eyeliner looks great on the bottom lash line, but be sure to take it the full way across or the outer ¼ of the lash line and never half way as it cuts the look of the eye in half and looks disproportionate.
· If you have dark under eye circles never wear blue eyeliner on the bottom eyelashes. Blue liner draws unwanted attention to dark circles and if you are prone to liner smudging during the day it will look even worse!
· Black eyeliner can be quite harsh on most eyes sometimes even making them appear smaller. Try a dark brown (Adorn’s Smokey Quartz. RRP $25-35) for a more flattering, softer look.
· Don’t be afraid to try colour! Dark greens, purples and greys look simply amazing and they make your eye colour really pop! If you do not own coloured eyeliner apply your usual black or brown and with a slant brush (wet or dry) dip it into your favorite eye shadow and apply directly over your eyeliner for a smoldering, defined eye. (Try Adorn’s Eye Create, mineral metallic eye shadows. RRP $25)
