Brown Lips: The Unexpectedly Versatile Shade That Flatters All

Unlocking Your Inner Makeup Artist: Mastering the Art of Brown Lips

Now that you’ve discovered your perfect shade of brown lipstick, it’s time to unleash your inner makeup artist and apply it flawlessly! Here are some tips and tricks to ensure your brown lips are the star of the show:

Prep is Key:

Exfoliation is your BFF when it comes to brown lips. Dead skin cells can make your lips appear patchy and uneven, especially with darker brown shades. Gently exfoliate your lips with a sugar scrub or a soft toothbrush to create a smooth canvas for your lipstick.

Following exfoliation, apply a lip balm. This will hydrate your lips and prevent the lipstick from drying out and becoming uncomfortable. Choose a lip balm that’s fragrance-free and won’t interfere with the color of your lipstick.

Line and Define:

A lip liner isn’t just for overlining your lips (although we can discuss that later!). It can be a powerful tool for creating definition and preventing your brown lipstick from bleeding. Choose a lip liner that matches the shade of your lipstick or is slightly darker for a more sculpted look. Line your lips just outside your natural lip line, but don’t go overboard – you don’t want to create an obvious “drawn-on” effect.

Applying Your Brown Lipstick:

Now for the star of the show! Here are your options for applying brown lipstick:

• Straight from the bullet: This is the most straightforward method. Start by applying the lipstick to the center of your cupid’s bow and then blend outwards towards the corners of your lips. Use the tip of the lipstick for more precise application.

• Lip brush: For even more control, use a lip brush. Dab the brush into the lipstick and then apply it to your lips in thin strokes, starting from the center and blending outwards. This method is ideal for creating a precise and defined lip line.
