What color are you wearing today? Pucker đź‘„Up…

 

Oh happy day…the time has come for my fave day of the YEAR!

National đź’„ Lipstick Day.

I am sharing  all things LIPSTICK and lips on WJXT 4’S The Morning Show.

One of the most popular questions I get is “How do I get my lipstick to last?”

So, here you go!

You’ve got to take care of your lips on a regular basis. Not just when they are dry,peeling and flaky. So, this is a ritual I professionally recommend.

1st Gently exfoliate and brush your lips and the area around your lips with a lip polish. I am obsessed with Whoopie by FarmHouse Fresh. Kiss those dry and dead skin cells đź‘‹ Bye Bye!

2nd Apply a lip mask (Yes, it’s a thing!)

3rd Prime with a lip base Perfect day Lip Base. This locks the color in place and makes the color last a bit longer. Especially red đź’‹ high pigmented lipsticks or glossy lip shades that may run.

4th My current go to is an invisible lip liner totally clear but keeps your lipstick in place and gives your lips shape and definition.

5th Apply a gorgeous lipstick! So many choices and formulas…it is truly not your mother’s or grandma’s lipstick anymore!

Now, if you want to make your lipstick shade last even longer without using the LIPSTICK Base. I ALSO cannot live without and use my lipstain called China Doll. It acts like a slip or beloved Spanx underneath your dress to make everything look marvelous. So when you apply a lipstick đź’„ (any brand) over it …this stain makes them last a bit longer. Or you can simply use this lipstick solo and enjoy the healthy rosy glow hue!

So how are you celebrating today? And what color lipstick đź‘„ are you wearing today?

DID YOU KNOW?

During the Roman Empire both men and women would wear lipstick as a sign of wealth $$$ It remained popular for men  to wear lipstick until the French Revolution.

I couldn’t have said it any better. Read on.

If there’s one thing beauty lovers know (and, who are we kidding—beauty lovers know approximately everything), it’s that there are huge (like, Grand-Canyon-levels huge) discrepancies between American beauty products and foreign beauty products—specifically, the vast number of ingredients allowed in US formulations compared to the incredibly restricted formulations of beauty products overseas.
