Fashion Magazine Beauty Panel Gives Tips for Wearing Bold & Bright Summer Lips

Last week on the Fashion Magazine Beauty Panel gave our tips and tricks for sporting a statement lip this summer. Be sure to check out all the whole article as there are some tips you won’t want to miss!

When summer weather starts to appear the pretty soft corals and pinks come out of their winter hibernation. When I want my lips to make more of a statement those soft shades are amped up to the next level to intense orange reds, bright corals, and hot pinks. For a statement summer lip I turn to vibrant orange and coral reds like Yves Saint Laurent Glossy Stain in Corail Alla Prima and Lancome Rouge in Love lipstick in Crazy Tangerine. I also love the entire Maybelline ColorSensational VIVID lipstick line which has incredible bold and bright summer shades like Shocking Coral, Vivid Rose, and Fuchsia Flash, with an amazing formula at an affordable price.

When wearing a statement lip you don’t want to worry about your lipstick fading in an unsightly way, or migrating all over the place. That’s why selecting bold shades with excellent formulas is of utmost importance. To keep bold colours in their place a good waterproof lip liner can go a long way. I love the Make Up For Ever Aqua Lip liners. The won’t budge, and if you fill in, as well as line your lips, you can be sure your statement lip will be making a presence for long time!

To make sure you don’t end up making that bold statement on your teeth as well be sure to use the “finger trick”. Just put your finger in your mouth, make sure your lips are wrapped around it, and pull your finger out. All the lipstick that was on the inside of your lips is now removed and you won’t have to worry about that embarassing transfer to your teeth. Mind you if someone catches you doing this it can be a wee bit embarassing!

Since all eyes are going to be on those lips be sure they are in optimal condition by gently exfoliating them with a soft cloth or toothbrush and prepping with a hydrating lip treatment like Hourglass Lip Treatment Oil or my longtime holy grail Lansinoh Nipple Cream. Yup, I said nipple cream!
