Beauty Tip 6!
Lips!
One of the most important things not just for make up but day to day, winter to summer we have to look after our lips. Always have a lip balm/conditioner to hand especially when it gets colder and lips can get dry and chapped (ouch). Before applying any lip colour you should apply lip balm to give lips some moisture, this will also help colour go on smoothly and stay on. The best way to find out what colours suit you is to discover if you have warm or cool skin tones. How can you tell? Well if you go through your make up bag and find two shades of make up (any make up will do blush,lipstick etc) find one that is slightly rusty/orangey in colouring then find another that has pinky/lavender tones.
Rub one of each of the colours on both your cheeks and then compare both, one should look 'better' than the other..whichever works best will show your skin tone.
Orangey/Rusty Colour = WARM TONES
Pinky/Lavender Colour = COOL TONES
This list below gives you an idea of lipshades that should suit your skin tone well;
Warm Colours
Rusty,Peach, Coral, Brown, Brick Red, Salmon Pink, Reds with yellow undertones, light browns.
Cool Colours
Plum, Red, Cherry, Pinky, Raspberry, Lilac,
Nude lipsticks/lip colours generally suit both and never be afraid to try something that's out of your comfort zone that's half the fun!
(Burts Bee's Lip Conditioner and Vaseline are two of my faves)
