<p>In a world full of women wanting to have the attention of every man, a lipstick is a must for any lady who wants to look attractive and beautiful most of the time.  Take a close look at any woman&#8217;s purse for that matter and you will definitely find either one or a couple of lipsticks safely snug inside a small make-up kit.  Lipsticks are great to not only having luscious lips but are also a key to not looking pale and bland.  </p>
<p>If you go to the cosmetics department of any shopping mall for that matter, you will be amazed at the myriad of choices that you will definitely find not only with regards to the wide variety of lipstick colors and brands but also as to the varying types as well.  It is no surprise that lipsticks nowadays are not only in shades of brown and red but there are even those that are in weird colors like black, green and even blue for those rebel type individuals who want to stand out for their uniqueness and rebellious nature.</p>
<p>If you are given the chance to consult with a make-up expert, you are very lucky to get some advice on which type of lipstick that would suit you best.  It is very important that the shade of the lipstick that you will select would match your complexion, skin tone, color of eyes as well as the color of your hair.  Lipstick color is not all about matching it with what you wear.  It is all about creating a match with how you physically look.</p>
<p>To create larger fuller lips, you choose shades that are light.  If you want to create the opposite look of having seemingly thin lips choosing dark hues would do the trick.  Girls with fair complexion are quite lucky for most of the time, varying shades whether they are light or dark would just suit them.  Dark colored girls should go for dark red shades or those in earth tone colors.  </p>
<p>For those who frequently find themselves with dry lips, choose lipsticks that are moisture rich or apply lip gloss.  You can find a wide variety of lipsticks that contain vitamin E that helps you have soft lips.  There are also lipstick varieties that cater to the woman who is always on the go.  You can find long wearing types as well as those that are transfer resistant most suited for women who are too busy and do not have the time to always do touch ups.  </p>
<p>Find the right kind of lipstick by trying on different colors and different varieties to suit your look and lifestyle.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="announcement_post"><div style="float:left; padding: 12px"><a href="/wp-content/uploads/cc/lipstick5.jpg"><img src="/wp-content/uploads/cc/lipstick5.jpg" title='lipstick' alt='lipstick' /></a></div>
<div><em><strong>Joe Goertz</strong> asked: </em><br/><br/><br/>Lipstick is a fashion accessory that some women just can&#8217;t do without. Lipstick has been the one cosmetic staple that most women have relied on. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s not uncommon for a woman to put on lipstick before anything else and in the case of being in a hurry many women forego mascara or blush and reach for their lipstick. </p>
<p>Although the term &#8220;lipstick&#8221; clearly means a cosmetic that is applied to the lips, there are several different types of lipsticks available for purchase. Each woman has her own unique preference when it comes to the different types of lipsticks and which one suits her best. </p>
<p>One common ingredient found in many different types of lipsticks is a moisturizer. This is important because lips can often become dried out because of the weather or the lack of humidity in a building. Incorporating a moistening agent into lipstick allows the woman to wear it all day without worry that her lips will become dry or chapped. </p>
<p>Another important ingredient in many different types of lipsticks is sunscreen. As much damage as the sun&#8217;s rays can cause to skin they can cause just as much damage to lips. Therefore it&#8217;s very important when browsing the cosmetics aisle to choose lipstick that has a sun screen in it. It doesn&#8217;t change the appearance or feel of the lipstick at all. </p>
<p>All of the different types of lipsticks come in many assorted colors. Some women love a bold look and for them a bright or dark red is a good choice. For other women they are looking for lipstick that is more demure. In this case they&#8217;ll want to concentrate on a lipstick that is a pale shade, perhaps pink or coral. </p>
<p>You can also change your shade of lipstick depending on the event or your mood. If you are attending a gala dinner you&#8217;ll want to choose a more striking lipstick that complements your outfit choice. If you are heading to the beach for a day of rest and relaxation a more subtle shade of lipstick would be most appropriate. </p>
<p>Although it seems that the color choice in lipstick is unending, there are also just as many brands of lipstick to choose from. </p>
<p>Cosmetic companies recognize the importance of lipstick in their customer&#8217;s lives. They want to improve their lipstick products so that they are longer lasting and the colors stay more vibrant. </p>
<p>There are several lipstick brands that now offer all day wear. This means that the woman applies the lipstick once in the morning and it is intended to stay fresh throughout the day. Many of these types of lipstick claim that the product wouldn&#8217;t smudge off even if the woman is drinking or eating. </p>
<p>For a very busy woman who enjoys looking her best this type of lipstick can be perfect. She chooses the shade that best matches her look for the day. She applies it before leaving home and can work all day without worrying about reapplication. </p>
<p>Purchasing lipstick is as easy as visiting your local cosmetics counter. In most major department stores the cosmetic counter is staffed with a beauty specialist. This person will be able to help you when you are buying lipstick. </p>
<p>Quite often they have training in cosmetology and understand what shades of lipstick complement what skin tones the best. They&#8217;ll choose a few lipsticks for you to consider. In most stores there are lipstick testers which allow the customer the chance to apply a small dab of lipstick on their wrist to check for color. </p>
<p>Lipstick is fun to wear and it can brighten up a woman&#8217;s mood instantly. When choosing lipstick it&#8217;s wise to pick a few different shades that reflect your different moods.<br/><br/><a href='http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-2503929-10510671'>Free hipping anywhere in the world. use code -FREE- at checkout</a></div>

<p>The beauty industry has loads of beauty secrets and visiting a makeup artist for a makeover can be a great way to learn some of their tricks. But, if you can&#8217;t afford a makeup artist, here are some quick tips you can start using today for flawless makeup application.</p>
<p>Applying Makeup Tips</p>
<p>Do not use foundation profusely. Wash off your make-up before retiring to bed. The particles clog the skin-pores, and prevent the skin from inhaling fresh air.</p>
<p>For oily skin, a cake foundation is good. Avoid use of foundation with lanolin base. However, you can use a vanishing cream as foundation.</p>
<p>Take into account the color of the hair when applying lipstick. Orange shade lipstick will match black hair. For grey hair use pink color lipstick and for golden brown hair use scarlet shade.</p>
<p>Moisturizer</p>
<p>Apply your daily moisturizer and let your skin soak it up. Go for one with SPF15 to give you the protection you need from the aging UV rays of the sun. Spread a tissue paper over your face to blot off the excess.</p>
<p>Concealer.</p>
<p>Do you really need a concealer? If your dark rings are really bad, a yellow toned concealer several shades lighter than your skin tone can lighten it a little. Just apply a little, blend it very well into your skin.</p>
<p>Begin your application with foundation, applying it with a clean foundation brush. This will allow you to apply foundation more easily and without wasting any. Never use your hands as they can contribute to oil and the spread of bacteria. Foundation sponges are also a good option.</p>
<p>Layer to Achieve Perfect Coverage - Remember, you have more control over your results if you begin with a very small amount of product. Start with a thin layer of well-blended mineral foundation, and then add additional layers, using the same technique. You may need to pour more mineral foundation into the lid and reload your brush in order to achieve the coverage that you desire. Regardless of the level of coverage you need, be sure to continue buffing as you apply your minerals.</p>
<p>Check Your Application to Make Sure It Looks Natural - Regardless of the level of coverage that you require, your skin should look completely natural. If it doesn&#8217;t, that means that you have applied too much product or that the application is uneven. Don&#8217;t be discouraged, it takes a little practice to expertly apply a new type of makeup that you are unfamiliar with. If you have over-applied the product, take a clean powder puff or tissue and blot your face to remove any excess. Then resume blending with your brush until you have the look that you desire.</p>
<p>Note that makeup can have the problematic effect of clogging your pores. Be sure to use a brand of makeup that will not clog pores. These types of makeup have been designed and marketed to teenagers with acne problems. Many times this type of makeup will come with complete instructions. Often these makeup products contain ingredients that kill bacteria and help clean out pores.</p>
<p>Many women choose not to wear makeup when acne is acting up, but the anxiety of teenage years can be lessened when one can wear makeup. Covering up the unsightly blemishes can raise their self-esteem. Every young woman with an acne problem must decide for herself as to what is best for her in this instance.</p>

<p>We know that Parabens are in almost everything we eat and use on our skin and hair daily!</p>
<ul>
<p> 
<li><strong>Parabens</strong> prevent mold, bacterial and fungal contamination. Widespread types of parabens include: <strong>Methylparaben, which </strong>is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract or through the skin. More importantlyÂ  <em>p</em>-hydroxybenzoic acid is rapidly excreted without accumulation in the body, which is good news as it is the one paraben found in most products use daily. <strong>Ethylparaben, Propylparaben, Isobutylparaben, Butylparaben and Benzylparaben. Are used as well. I am not writing an article on parabens, the only reason I bring them up is if you have skin issues that are caused by parabens, then read the label of your cosmetics to see if they are listed.</strong></li>
<p> </ul>
<ul>
<p> 
<li><strong>I would like to put my 2 cents in on the use of parabens.</strong><strong> Although their function to prevent mold, bacterial and fungal contamination; think what might happen to the products that don&#8217;t have any parabens in them? Take mascara, my studies found that paraben free mascara was useless. As without parabens, it makes mascara flaky, and worse the overall texture were clumpy! Do you remember the 1% or less rules I told you in part one? Well, my research showed that mascara&#8217;s that had even the smallest amount of parabens like 1/10th of 1 percent and as low as 0.15 of 1 percent of parabens. Was amazingly great mascara in that they didn&#8217;t flake or clump and the ones that had a cream base stayed all day! Creating beautiful eyelashes, and they were as low as 0.15 of one percent containing parabens!!! </strong></li>
<p> </ul>
<ul>
<p> 
<li><strong>There are some cosmetics that don&#8217;t ever need parabens.</strong><strong> Take eyeliners and lip liners. If they contain </strong>natural plant parts and custom mineral blends. With the base formula of oils and natural waxes with ingredients like vitamin E (made from the soy plant) as well as Mica, Iron Oxides and Titanium Dioxide. </li>
<p> </ul>
<ul>
<p> 
<li><strong>Quality Mineral lipsticks</strong> also don&#8217;t need any parabens in them. My own lipstick research taught me that if a formulator uses quality ingredients. One can delete all dyes, fillers and lakes and only uses pure pigment for coloring. Ingredients like Castor Oil, Sesame Oil, Coconut Oil, Fractionated, Cocoa Oil, Candelilla Wax, Meadowfoam Seed Oil, Cocoa butter, Mango butter, Shea butter and Vitamin E. The results are: lipstick that will never bleed and moistens your lips all-day. Then you add mica, Iron Oxide and Titanium Dioxide, and you have the perfect formula. Of course this lipstick is not cheap, however quality should never suffer ingredients and women should get what they pay for and rightfully so!!!<strong> </strong></li>
<p> 
<li><strong>Natural preservatives</strong>: such as rosemary extract, vitamin C and E, citric acid, green and white tea extract (antioxidant), grape, apricot or pomegranate seed extract (Antioxidants) Vitamin B17 in apricot seeds has been said to be Anticarcinogenic. Tea tree extract as an antibacterial to also prevent spoiling. If one uses natural preservatives (in especially liquids), there will be no need for parabens.</li>
<p> 
<li><strong>Organic Cosmetics:</strong>Â  Found in some high-end mineral cosmetics, however I would like to let you know the true amount found sometimes is questionable in that do they really do anything? Here is where the rule of one percent or less may come in to play! While itâ??s stated that if a product has one percent or less it doesnâ??t have to be listed as an ingredient!</li>
<p> </ul>
<p>Some cosmetic companies may list organic names like the list above of natural plant parts, when in fact they could be as little as one 10th of a percent or much lower. Remember even with this small amount of organic additives one can claim their cosmetics have natural or organic ingredients. The reason then for using the word organic drives the price up about 30% more than the standard pure minerals.</p>
<ul>
<p> 
<li><strong>Here is some food for thought: </strong>during my research on organic extraction of plants I found out there could be as many as 200 chemicals in one plant. Now try to imagine processing only 3 or 4 chemicals that are pure enough to use as an additive. This means the overall process is time-consuming and time is money right? This is what lead me to believe that it would only stand to reason for one adding a specific additive that has a value may cost $35.00 for only a few grams or a mere 1/8 of an oz. How much product would a formulator add to a so called organic cosmetic. Of course then one might consider some additives may even cost more and after all profit is the results needed to stay in business.</li>
<p> </ul>
<p>Please realize that a plant has different parts, such as the steam that feeds the leaf and then there are the feeding veins to nourish the plant. During this natural process, insectâ??s fungus, mold and all of earthâ??s free radicals attack the plant life and often destroy or alter the plants (Anti-oxidants). Further some plants can only be grown and harvest at certain times of the year, for full benefits.</p>
<ul>
<p> 
<li><strong>Itâ??s in my option that organic research needs more investigation.</strong> However not by the FDA rather a private sector that is not basis and short handed. Perhaps organic matter that is pure belongs in our system through diet! Ingredient labels are important to read, as you now well know. 3 to 7 % of women can have an allergic reaction to certain organic plants and bi-products there of is why the FDA requires ingredient labels in the first place. The FDA has little control of ingredients with over 5000 listed in cosmetics! You can well bet some are rated at the 10 scales as being harmful as a rule these are laden chemical cosmetics. </li>
<p> </ul>
<ul>
<p> 
<li><strong>Micronized and </strong><strong>Nanoparticles:</strong> This falls in to common sense the smaller a particle is the deeper it can penetrate your skin. This defeats mineral cosmetics, because your pores will clog. Mineral cosmetics shouldâ??t clog your pores thus leaving you with a light protective covering that has a light feeling on your face.</li>
<p> </ul>
<p>This is one more reason I only use loose mineral cosmetics on my models, clients as well as students!Â  Micronized and Nanoparticles are the result of minerals that our crushed or put in a blender. Most often used in preesed powders, because a chemical has to be added to press the powder. Yet most women like pressed powders because they are less missie than loose minerals. Perhap those of you who lean towards pressed powders should give them a second thought <strong>especaily knowing you most likely areâ??t getting what you pay for?</strong></p>
<p><strong>I give loose mineral cosmetics five stars</strong> for the simple reasons above and it appears fewer ingredients are needed and the best part is loose minerals will never require parabens or filers. While pressed minerals only get three stars because of additives most commonly used and<strong> </strong>micro as well as Nano particle size are not good for your pores.</p>

<p>Melany Whitney is an expert permanent cosmetics technician. She is highly regarded by the press and others in her industry and has become the â??voiceâ? for permanent cosmetics; regularly interviewed on national television and for fashion magazines. In this interesting article you are sure to learn a few new tips to enhance your eyes even if you donâ??t wear permanent cosmetics.</p>
<p>If you are considering permanent makeup for the first time, you&#8217;ve got lots of questions. This article will help you to understand why permanent cosmetics should be your new beauty enhancement. With a permanent makeup application there is literally no &#8220;down time&#8221;, you&#8217;ll be ready to show off your new prettier you right after your procedure.</p>
<p>If you are looking for freedom from makeup, permanent makeup can give you the freedom to look your best at anytime. You can transition immediately from work to an evening out without having to be a slave to the mirror for touch ups; just a quick powder and you&#8217;re out the door.</p>
<p>Not all lips are perfectly shaped! With a permanent makeup application many irregularities, color imperfections, and even an improved lip shape may be created to enhance your personal beauty. This holds true for both men and women. To help you understand how permanent makeup can reshape and improve your lips, we&#8217;ve interviewed our staff expert and nationally recognized permanent makeup professional, Melany Whitney on this topic.</p>
<p>For this special piece, we&#8217;ve interviewed Melany Whitney on how she beautifies and enhances lips permanently. We think that you will find her artistic insight interesting reading.</p>
<p><strong>Interviewer:</strong> What exactly can be done to reshape and enhance lips with permanent cosmetics?</p>
<p><strong>Melany:</strong> There are methods to correct some inconsistencies that we encounter as Permanent Makeup Technicians. Of course, I always take into consideration what my clients would like to achieve with a permanent cosmetic lip procedure. So, I always ask my clients to bring their favorite lip liners and lipstick with them to the procedure so they can show me exactly what they would like as their final result.</p>
<p><strong>Interviewer:</strong> I understand that your expertise in color is one of your most envied talents by other professionals and students. What tips do you have for color selection for permanent lips?</p>
<p><strong>Melany:</strong> When it comes to permanent lip color, you must remember at all times that implanted color in the skin is a combination of the mostly cool/blue lip tone and the color of the pigment, when it all has exfoliated after a few days and healed in for a few weeks, to determine the final color.</p>
<p>Implanted color is always much more natural in appearance than any applied conventional lipstick. Permanently applied lip color also eliminates &#8220;bleeding&#8221;; where regular lipstick &#8220;spreads&#8221; into the small periorbital lines (whether deep or superficial) that we all have around our lip borders. Permanent lip color solves the problem of unexpected lipstick on front teeth (argh!) or smearing of lipstick color with dinner napkins. There will be no more lipstick on the &#8220;collar&#8221; of your loved one or anywhere else for that matter, when you have permanent lip color.</p>
<p><strong>Interviewer:</strong> I&#8217;ve heard of the Whitney Center technique for lips, what is it?</p>
<p><strong>Melany:</strong> With the Whitney Center&#8217;s technique for lips, technicians can make subtle changes in the permanent lip color that will present dramatic results. Thin upper and lower lips can be improved with the use of permanent lip color pigments to make the lip appear slightly fuller and more defined.</p>
<p>Using a slightly brighter color will give more retention and make lips appear fuller also. Remember, brighter color implanted under the skin will never appear too bright. Of course, a soft natural color can also have a very positive result for those who want definition and only a slight tint.</p>
<p><strong>Interviewer:</strong> what about clients who want a new lip shape?</p>
<p><strong>Melany:</strong> With permanent lip applications I can help enhance or improve the cupid bows (the peaks of the upper lip under each nostril). This area can either be too pointed, too flat, uneven, or just nonexistent. With the Whitney Center technique, I can create any shape that is appropriate for the your shape face and lower orbital area to improve your appearance.</p>
<p>When you want the look of fuller lips, permanent makeup applied correctly can give a more youthful expression to the entire face. For anyone that has ever been unhappy with &#8220;too large a lip&#8221;, a deeper color done well within the vermillion line (natural border of the mouth) can create a smaller lip appearance.<br />I will never apply color directly into the corners (commissures) of the mouth, as color in this area gives the appearance that you&#8217;ve eaten a big piece of chocolate cake and not wiped your mouth!</p>
<p><strong>Interviewer:</strong> How long does the typical lip procedure take and is it painful? Also what type of lip procedures do you typically do?</p>
<p><strong>Melany:</strong> Other than full lip procedures which take about 1 1/2 hours to complete and are virtually painless due to our doctor administered dental block, the other lip procedure can be as simple as adding lip liner or a lip shade-down.</p>
<p>To prevent a &#8220;ring around your lips&#8221; I will reshape, if necessary, the lip shape with a more natural lip liner color and then shade that color down into the lip for a softer look.This technique only works with the more natural and softer shades of lip pigments.</p>
<p><strong>Interviewer:</strong> What about a stronger lip color to give the look like lipstick has been applied, is that possible?</p>
<p><strong>Melany:</strong> If you desire a &#8220;lipstick look&#8221; or stronger constant color in your face, then a bit of Vaseline or clear lip gloss is all that is needed on top of full permanently applied lip color to make the color stand out and look as if you spent all that time lining and filling in your perfect lips.</p>
<p><strong>Interviewer:</strong> As we all age, it is natural to get wrinkles around your mouth, how do you handle permanent lip applications in this special situation?</p>
<p><strong>Melany:</strong> Fine lines around the lips are the hardest lips to do in permanent makeup but are also the most rewarding other than a cleft lip. The finished results can provide a significant improvement in your facial appearance. This is where my experience comes into play; from years of dealing with these complex permanent lip enhancements.

<p>Nowadays the state met than men are masters of the world is not valid, because today there is an epoch of equal right. And it is necessary to notice that women actively use their rights and begin to demonstrate their skills and abilities in those spheres, which were considered as the territory of men. In order to be successful among men, women have to make many efforts. And appearance in this case means a lot. First opinion usually is made according to appearance, thatâ??s why it is necessary to take care of this aspect.<br />One of the important moments of the appearance is the make-up and especially it is connected with lips. This part of the face attracts peopleâ??s attention and it is necessary to take care of the make-up of lips.<br />In order to have perfect lips, it is necessary to choose lipstick in a right way. There are two main aspects, which are important in this case. These are texture of lipstick and the color. As for texture, it depends upon your taste. There are women who like shiny and glossy lipsticks, which give them young and fresh look. Other women prefer matte lipsticks, which give more mature look.<br />As for the color, it is more difficult. In order to choose the right color, it is necessary to test it on your skin. The color may look amazing in the shelf of the store, but on your lips, it may look not so great. So, if you donâ??t know which color if suitable for you, take that one which seems to be the most attractive for you. If you donâ??t test to your feelings, then limit your choice by traditional colors, which are suitable for the majority of women.</p>

<p>Lipstick as a power all to its own. Itâ??s a well known that fact that most men feel red lipstick is just downright sexy! Not only is red lipstick color sexy, doing the totally opposite and pair up a pale lipstick color with smoky eyes makeup and you are a force to be hold! To get away with wearing a bold lipstick color one must always play down the rest of your makeup.</p>
<p>The truth is any color lipstick is amazing on you if you apply it correctly and making sure you are not wearing the wrong color for your skin tone. The number one tip is you must remember you must wear either bold lipstick with minimal eye makeup or smoky eyes with a nude lipstick or just lip gloss. But not both at the same time! It just makes you look overdone and takes away from your appeal.</p>
<p>Did you know the right shade of lipstick can make your entire face look brighter, clearer and more radiant? Pick the wrong shade and it will you look too pale and washed out.</p>
<p><strong>How do you pick the right shade of lipstick?</strong></p>
<p>The best way is to base the lipstick color by your skin tone. Here are a few tips for picking your everyday lipstick shade.</p>
<p><strong>Fair Skin:</strong> This skin tone looks best flattered by pale pinks and berries. This does not mean frosty shades of pink either. Wear a pink close to the same shade as your lips to really stand out.<strong><br />Medium and Olive Skin: </strong>This skin tone looks their prettiest in shades of apricots, beiges, and bronzy nudes. Again try wearing a shade closes to your own lips.<strong><br />Dark Skin Tones:</strong> This skin tone is really complemented by mauves, sheer reds and berries.</p>
<p>All skin tones need to stay away from frosty shades of any color because it will just wash your face out as well as out-date you. Those shades went out in the 80â??s and need to stay there!</p>
<p>Did you know that one way to pick your approximate lipstick shades is by looking in your jewelry box! Yes for real! Take a look in your jewelry box, if you love silver, chances you are have cool-undertones to your skin. Which means you should be looking into lipstick colors with more of a silvery-blue undertones. The idea is these shades of lipstick help off set any yellow your teeth may have from age and it makes them seem brighter and whiter! If you are a lover of gold jewelry its very likely you have warm-based under-tones to your skin. These means you should be looking for shades of lipsticks that have yellow-golden undertones.How funny that our lipstick shades can be picked by the choices we make in our jewelry!</p>
<p>Daytime lipstick shades are not the same as what you would wear out when going on a date. Nighttime shades of lipstick colors can be more dramatic and really show off your own personal sense of style! Just remember rule number one, bold lips or bold eyes never both! Here are a few ways to pick the right shade of lipstick for your next hot date!</p>
<p><strong>Fair Skin:</strong> This skin tone looks warm and very inviting in deep berries and rich wine shades.<strong><br />Medium and Olive Skin: </strong>This skin tone just rocks and glows when you accent your look with shades of browns and raisins.<strong><br />Dark Skin: </strong>Your skin tone just looks totally dazzling in burgundies and plums.</p>
<p>There you have it, tips in picking the next killer lipstick shade! The color lipstick will draw him to you like moths to candlelight, wrong shade might scare him off before he even gets to know you!</p>

<p>During World War Two women were wearing bright red lipstick, possibly to cheer themselves up during that period of fear and grief.Â Â  Many cosmetic manufacturers have noticed a recent increase in sales, in spite of the current recession, suggesting that perhaps women like to treat themselves with a small luxury such as a new lipstick rather than embark on a full blown shopping trip.</p>
<p>Now that Christmas is over and the New Year has begun and the newspapers are full of doom and gloom about the economy, we would all be forgiven for feeling a bit glum.Â  Buying a lipstick, is a fairly inexpensive way of treating yourself, and just think how much better you will look and feel, wearing a splash of colour on your lips. Finding the right shade of lipstick is crucial and once found you will notice how it will brighten and lighten your face.</p>
<p>It is important to mirror your natural look with the type of colour you choose for your lipstick.Â  If you have deep or dark colouring, you can wear deep dark reds.Â  If you have any warmth or auburn streaks in your dark hair, avoid shocking pinks and choose reds that have a hint of orange in them.</p>
<p>If you have light or pale colouring, a deep or dark lipstick will overpower your face.Â  Again if there is any hint of golden or yellow in your hair, opt for a coral or warm brown lipstick, but nothing too dark or heavy.Â </p>
<p>If you have ash blonde, grey or white hair, pink lipsticks will be more complimentary.Â  A nice clear fuchsia or rose pink will be very flattering.</p>
<p>If you have light or dark blonde hair, pale skin and soft brown, green, blue or grey eyes, you will look best in soft shades of pink, brown or coral lipstick.Â </p>
<p>Before you apply your newly purchased lipstick, make sure your lips are in good condition and not chapped and sore.Â  Apply some lip balm regularly and â??buffâ? your lips with a soft toothbrush and a small amount of moisturiser.</p>
<p>It is good practice to apply a lip base under your lipstick.Â  Lip base acts as a moisturiser and will also give extra â??sticking powerâ? to the lipstick.Â  Now apply a lip pencil in either a neutral shade or a close match to your lipstick.Â  Outline the lips and then fill in over the whole lip area.Â  This will stop lipstick â??bleedingâ? into the area around your lips and give another layer of colour.Â  Finally apply a coat of lipstick, preferably with a lip brush.Â Â </p>
<p>There is a vast array of lipsticks available in many different colours and varying degrees of price. Â It isnâ??t necessary to spend a lot of money but it is important to find the right colour for you.Â  Beware of artificial lighting in some shops as colours can be distorted.Â  It may be worth asking for a sample to take home so you can see the true colour before you buy.</p>
<p>If you decide to treat yourself with lipstick, take your time, savour the shopping experience and find that perfect colour that you will wear many times.</p>

<p> 
<p><strong>Mix and match lip colors</strong></p>
<p> 
<p>You can create your unique color combinations by mixing lipstick colors on your lips to define your mouth, add color to your face and manage your overall look. That way you can customize your lip color to create the effect you want and to match different clothes.</p>
<p> 
<p>So, with so many options there is no need to restrict yourself to wearing the same lipstick colors all the time. Your lip colors can range from natural looking pinks and beiges, to oranges, to dramatic and elegant reds. And, as a finishing touch, your lipstick should go well with blusher.</p>
<p> 
<p><strong>Pigment is the leader</strong></p>
<p> 
<p>The main ingredient in lipstick is pigment, which gives the color. Pigment involves oils to moisturize your lips and wax to keep its shape. The ratios of these ingredients may vary but the more pigment it has, the more it dries your lips. Lipstick is available in stick, cream and frosted formulas, and in a wide range of colors. Some lipsticks offer high solid coverage, while others are sheer and natural. And quality does not depend on price, you can find good quality lipstick at cheap prices. </p>
<p> 
<p><strong>Choose lipstick colors </strong></p>
<p> 
<p>While selecting a lipstick you need to consider the clothing that you are wearing. Your lipstick color should complement your outfit, not clash with it. </p>
<p> 
<p>The occasion and dress style (casual or formal) are also important factors. If its a casual wear natural colors would be more appropriate while deeper colors such as dark reds would suit for a party or formal events.</p>
<p> 
<p>After you have decided on a color, try it on your lips and test the color in natural light. Here are listed the different types of lipsticks.</p>
<p> 
<ul> 
<li><strong>Sheer</strong></li>
<p> </ul>
<p> 
<p>Looks naturally, wet and shiny, and it is not long lasting since it contains little pigment. Includes lip glosses (stains and tints), and offer little coverage. If you color in the lips with a light color pencil first your lipstick will last longer. </p>
<p> 
<ul> 
<li><strong>Shimmer</strong></li>
<p> </ul>
<p> 
<p>Metallic shimmers contain small pieces of mica to reflect the light but this quality looks more subtle after applied to the lips. Shimmers draw attention to the lips and can make them appear fuller.</p>
<p> 
<ul> 
<li><strong>Cream</strong></li>
<p> </ul>
<p> 
<p>Moisturizing lipstick containing oils and conditioners (like a lip balm), that makes them lighter and smoother than heavy mattes. Cream lipsticks are available in long lasting formulas.</p>
<p> 
<ul> 
<li><strong>Matte</strong></li>
<p> </ul>
<p> 
<p>Longest lasting formula containing the most pigment (which can dry your lips) provides deep opaque colors. Lighter mattes are known as semi matte. With a matte or semi-matte lip color you can create a warm, natural effect and they can also make the lips look thinner.</p>
<p> 
<ul> 
<li><strong>Long-lasting </strong></li>
<p> </ul>
<p> 
<p>This deep, creamy, time-release (semi-permanent) formula uses the heat from your lips to stimulate continuous release of color that does not fade and can last up to eight hours.</p>
