Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you needed to apply makeup quickly and all you had at that time was lipstick and compact powder? Well, that’s all you need!
Lipstick is a versatile tool that can double as a blusher and even eye shadow. Talk about getting your money’s worth.
The lipsticks’ versatility doesn’t just stop there. This girl’s best friend has many more hacks to offer and we’ve got some to share with you!
- Blush away!
Makeups can be expensive. If you’re on a budget and looking for a good bargain, perhaps purchasing a set of lipstick is all you need. Creamy and soft textured lipstick makes an ideal choice for a blush substitute. Pink and red lipsticks are often the go-to choices for make-up artists and women to give the face a natural flush look. - It’s all about the colours
If you have various shades of creamy lipsticks, you’re in for a treat! In an urgent fashion situation, vibrant lipstick colours can also function as eyes hadows. The key to a brilliant eyeshadow look is in the blending. Try blending the lipstick on your eyelids using an eyeshadow brush to get a glossy high-fashion finish. If you prefer a more subtle look, you can opt for mellow shades. - Contouring is key
Brown lipsticks sometimes tend to be neglected in the makeup bag and it’s not always the go-to colour of choice for the lips. We’re here to tell you don’t let that brown shade of lipstick go to waste! Shades of brown (sometimes nude tone) lipsticks make an ideal choice for contouring. Be mindful that matte lipsticks may not be the best choice. The classic creamy lipstick will give the best results. Take extra care to blend it all in for the best results. - Highlight
Shimmery lipsticks not only give your lips that much-needed bling, but they also give your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, your cupid’s bow, and the tip of your chin the frosted glowy look. The keyword is, you guessed it, BLEND! Blend and you’re all set to glow!
Note: Always remember to check the expiration date on the lipstick and the condition of the lipstick before applying them to your facial skin. If you have sensitive skin, it’s best to avoid anything that may block your pores. If you experience any form of adverse reaction, stop applying lipstick on your face immediately and contact a doctor if necessary.
