THE BRIGHT, BOLD LIP “HOW TO” …….
So, Everyone is seeing the Bold Lip trend right now, Yes everywhere!!! But, how do YOU do it “and” get it right, as well as STAY! This is how…
* First, you want to prep your lips. What I mean by this is Exfoliate, Moisturize and Plump.
OPTION 1. (Save) The fast, inexpensive way is after you brush your teeth, brush your lips..this removes dead skin AND plumps by stimulating the blood. Then add moisture, I use Aquaphor.
OPTION 2. The (Splurge), and, I have the time way, exfoliate your lips with cinnamon & sugar. The sugar removes the dead skin and the cinnamon is a natural plumper, it stimulates the blood (Added Bonus) the scent of the cinnamon will suppress the appetite! OR, get a lip plumping treatment like “Eminence Cinnamon Kiss Organic lip Plumper” Then moisturize, I like “Hissyfit” lip treatment!
* Next, Prime your lips and set the canvas for color…
OPTION 1. (Save) Blot your lips on a tissue to remove excess moisture and camouflage with any concealer, OR your foundation removing your natural lip color (Think Mannequin lips) and set with powder. Baby powder, talc powder or your pressed powder.
OPTION 2. (Splurge) Conceal all redness out of lips, I like ”Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage Concealer” And set with translucent powder like“Makeup Forever HD Translucent Powder”.
NOW, IT’S COLOR TIIMMEEEE…..
* CHOOSE YOUR LIP COLOR AND GET A MATCHING LIP PENCIL TO MATCH THAT COLOR!
1. Line your lips with your pencil either on the natural line to keep the existing shape, or outside of your line to create the illusion of fuller lips ( I need to do that, because my lips are small hahaha)
2. Fully color in your lips with the pencil and set with powder. Now apply your color. Use a lip brush to apply the lipstick, this will make your application precise and last longer versus applying straight from the lipstick itself.
3. YOU NEED TO BLOT ON A TISSUE!!! This is key. Then set with powder (Yes Again) And apply one more coat of lipstick.
4. Walah, Your Done! you can apply a little gloss on top to really make them glossy and fuller if you want. Now, go show off those sexy lips.

TUESDAY TREND REPORT…
2012 is all about brights! Bright lips, bright nails, bright clothes! No matter what your fashion or beauty style is, you can be as understated or overstated with this.
This season at fashion week, i loved the bright lip and the clean eye look, its so fresh and gorgeous. I personally am not about flash all over so the bright lip and bright nail would be more my style.
HOW DO I GET THE LOOK AND FOR LESS?
Its so easy, you want to create a dewy look on the face. mix an equal about of foundation and moisturizer together and apply to your face concentrating on the T Zone of your face (thats the forehead, nose, mouth.
Then take the lipstick your going to use, apply a little to the back of your hand to warm up the product and add a tiny amount of highlight serum or or moisturizer and blend, then tap that color that you mixed on your hand to the apples of your cheeks, and tap the same mix on your lips…(this is for a fresh look) then load on the mascara

For bold, punchy lips, moisturize lips first ( I use aquafor) then blot. Then line your lips with the matching lipliner to the lip color your using and color in lips. seal the lipliner with powder (translucent, or regular face powder) then apply lipstick, then blot again on tissue and seal AGAIN with powder, the apply one more coat of lipstick…WhaLa! Sexy Lips that will last.
