It's no secret that lipsticks tend to bleed after a while when you apply them. This is why lip liners are the best option you have to help avoid bleeding lipsticks. What's more, lip liners help you give the right shape to your lip while also ensuring that you end up with a fuller and cleaner looking pout. Now, the problem that arises is that not everyone is a pro at makeup which makes it rather difficult to choose the right lip liner for your lipstick shade.
So, here are a few tips that will come in handy if you're looking to invest in the right lip liner.
- Find a matching nude shade: The very first thing you should do is opt for a lip liner that's the same shade as your lip so essentially it'll be a nude shade. See what undertones you have (red, pink, purple) on your lips and then pick one accordingly. It'll help give you practice while also serving as a base for your lipsticks.
- Choose the same colour family: If not a nude shade then you need to ensure that your lip liner shade belongs to the same family as your lipstick shade. So, reds go with reds, pinks go with pinks and so on. You can't use pink liner for red lipstick because the colours will clash and give you a weird look. Your shades needn't be identical, just from the same colour family.
- Opt for darker liners for bolder looks: When you're trying to go for a bold and sexy look, opt for a liner that's one or two shades darker than your lipstick. This will help give it you that bold and edgy look. However, as mentioned earlier, make sure you're matching the colour family right.
Well, now that you know just how to pick the right liner, go give it a try and see how that works. Stay tuned for more updates.
