Tiptastic! - Accurate Lip Colour

Lipstick

Hello Fellow MakeUp Lovers!  It is a brand new year and this is a brand new post! ;)

Today I'm going to talk about how you can ensure your lipstick colour stays true!

Have you ever tried painting a wall without primer?  You would have noticed that the colour you are painting is not the same colour you picked out at the store.  What happens is that the colour you are putting on is simply an overlay of what is already there.

Applying lipstick to your bare lips is very much thing.  The lipstick becomes an overlay of the shade your natural lip colour.

So how do you keep your lipstick colour true??? You use liquid foundation.  While you are putting the foundation on your face, also gently rub it onto your lips.  Providing a light layer of foundation gives the lipstick a neutral base.  While the foundation isn't white, it will remove the pigment in your lips to bring out the lipstick's proper shade

Organization

There is always the need to organise in my life.  Why should this blog be any different?

I've decided to organise my posts by the days of the week!

On Mondays I will blog about the absolute MUST HAVES in the cosmetics world.  Items that I have found to consistent, tried and true.

On Tuesdays I will blog tips and tricks of the trade.  Things I have added to my repertoire along the way to help out all the curious new cosmetologists out there!

Wednesdays I have reserved for the questions I get in regards to make up and beauty regimens.  So if you are wondering about anything related to make up or beauty products or application, e-mail me! 

On Thursdays I will be blogging tutorials on how to apply certain makeup or how to complete certain looks. And let's face it, that's darn right thrilling!

Fridays I will be rating and reviewing products!

Stay tuned!
