Lipstick is a classic beauty:

Lipstick is a classic beauty product that adds color, shape, and life to your features and every woman should have at least one shade to add a bit of glam.

But when it comes to lipstick, you can do so much more than just a swipe of color on your lips.

When you think of a lipstick, you likely think of the classic look; a simply made up face with a coordinating lip color. While that is indeed a beautiful look, lipstick can do so much more. Armed with a good quality lipstick and a bit of creativity, you can use lipstick in a myriad of ways – from a bright statement piece to a subtle enhancement of your natural beauty.

To make the most of lipstick, start out with a quality product. It does not have to be expensive, but should contain ingredients that moisturize and protect your lips. Once you have your lipstick of choice, it is time to think beyond the classic look and explore the many ways to wear it.

Here, we’ll discuss several different ways to use lipstick in order to make the most out of it.

pop of color as an eyeshadow:

To do this, choose a color that coordinates with your other makeup and apply it to your eyelids.

You can either coat them perfectly with color, or simply add it to the top portion of your lids with a thin brush.

It’s important to use a primer before applying the lipstick, in order to create a smooth, lasting finish.

Bit of highlighter:

adding a bit of highlighter can compliment your look.

Apply some of your favorite lipstick to the tips of your cheekbones, your cupid’s bow and even your brow bone for a subtle iridescence that catches light beautifully.

Avoid a sheer formula for this, because you don’t want the features you highlight to look shiny or greasy.

Lipstick as blush:

After choosing a subtle shade, tap some of the product onto your fingertips and then blend it onto your cheeks.

One of the great things about using lipstick as blush is that it has staying power, giving you a long-lasting look that won’t fade away quickly.

create custom makeup:

For example, you can melt down a lip pencil, or use a lip balm, and then mix it with a bit of your favorite lipstick.

Taking a light touch and slow movements, apply the custom makeup directly onto your lips. This is a great way to create a unique color that is completely personalized.

Lipstick as a lip liner:

Choose a shade that is slightly darker than the color you plan to wear on your lips. Use a lip brush to work the color onto the very outer edge of your lips, then use the same color to fill in your entire lip.

This can really improve the appearance of your lip shape and lasts much longer than a lip pencil alone.

Great tool for contouring your face:

Take a color two shades darker than your regular lip color and swipe it along the hollows of your cheeks and temples for a dramatic, angled look.

create a statement lip:

Start with a color that is one shade brighter than your typical lip color. Apply it carefully around your natural lip line and blend out from the center.

This will give your lip color an extra wow factor without looking overdone.

In short, lipstick has the potential to transform your look in all sorts of ways. Be sure to choose a quality product and experiment with your makeup kit to get the best looks.

A little bit of practice will pay off with beautiful, statement-making looks that will have you feeling like a million bucks.
