She knows how to pull off the bold lip that will last all day through the heat.
This Fashionista was willing to share her secret for her long lasting lip color. You will barely, if not at all, have to fix your lipstick throughout the day. The secret is layering. First and foremost, you have start with a smooth lip. So get that exfoliator (sugar and olive oil work great) and scrub away until your lips are soft and smooth. Start off with covering your lips with a lip stain close to your lipstick shade. Then use a lip liner and fill in your lips with it. This will not only help the lipstick from running, but it will make the lipstick stay on all day. Once you have your lipstick of choice and put it on with a brush. Using a brush will guarantee coverage, especially when getting into the small corners and peaks. After you apply the lipstick, gently blot with a tissue or napkin. Then, get a setting powder and lightly pat your lips with it. The last layer is reapplying the lipstick. Lightly blot your lips again. Once you are done with that, get a small angled brush and some concealer and put it around your lips, this will clean up the edges of your lipstick. There are a lot of steps to achieve this perfect lip, but you can be sure that your lipstick is looking good throughout the day and you won’t have to worry about reapplying.
This Fashionista is sporting a deep plum lipstick, a very trendy lip color this year. She accents the plum on her lips onto her eyes, giving her a subtle smokey eye that doesn’t compete with the lip. She leaves the color on her face and wears a gray T-shirt with leather accents and a pair of denim shorts. She matches that with black leather gladiator sandals and adds a couple accessories here and there.
