Different products for lips

Today we are looking at Different products for lips

There are lots of Different products for lips

There are a lot of Different products for lips and today we are going to be having a  look at few of them:

• Matte - matte products are more dense and last the longest. They contain less moisture then other lip products, so they adhere to the lips and don't fade as fast. But they are not suitable for people with very dry lips.
• Semi matte - smi matte products are less dry than matte products but they don't last as long. They are best suited on textured or dry lips as they give off a soft sheen.
• Sheer colours - sheer colours are see through, are very forgiving and easy to use
• Lip stains - lip stains provide a long lasting highly pigmented colour
• Lip Tints - lip tints like sheer glosses or balms, protect the lips with moisturising  formulas that usually contain SPF'S
• Lip balms - are a clear or tinted formula and help keep the lips soft
• Gloss sticks - are hybrids, that are between sheer lip stick and lip gloss. They add a bit more pigment that lip gloss but are still transparent and moist.
• Lip gloss - lip glosses provide hydration, sun protection, and sheen. The formula is great for making the lips look fuller and for layering on top of other colours.
• Chubby lip pencils - chubby lip pencils will both define the lips and provide a creamy matte texture. they are long lasting but can be a bit dry.
• Lip liners - lip liners define the lips and keep lipstick on for longer when used on the entire lip area.

We hope todays blog has explained all the Different products for lips and what they are best used for.

Special occasion makeup

Day to evening Special occasion makeup

Special occasion makeup tips

When it comes to transforming from day to evening makeup many people do not have time to start over so here are some tips on Special occasion makeup that will be a bit quicker.

As light is often softer in the evening than the daytime, your makeup can be a bit more dramatic.

• Start by touching up any concealer and foundation as needed, to even skin tone and cover any blemishes.
• Use a brighter blusher than you have done for daytime.
• Use some bronzer on your neck and chest if these are on show to give a nice glow.
• Apply a bit of shimmer to either your lips, eyes or cheeks but not all of these areas at the same time as this will give you an overdone look, so just choose one area to concentrate on.
• To add more drama to your evening look, use a darker shade of lip colour or a sheer shade if your going for darker eye makeup.
• If your not going for the darker lip colour then try a more dramatic eye colour instead but do not use both at the same time as again this will be overload.  A smoky eye is great for the evening.
• If you do decide to go for dramatic lips over eyes then maybe try red lips with pink cheeks and keep the eye makeup to a minimum.
• You could try pairing shimmery bronzed cheeks with smoky brown eyes and copper lips, adding shimmer to either the lips or eyes.
• Another fun look to try is using bright pink or orange on your lips with a pale pink or apricot blush and soft eye makeup, finish this look with black mascara or even add some false lashes.

So you don't always need to start over when applying your Special occasion makeup, just use these handy tips.

Makeup history

Who is who in Makeup history

Makeup history, who helped shape the beauty industry

We thought you may be interested to know some Makeup history today.  We are going to tell you where some of your favourite makeup brands began.

Max Factor– Max Faktor was born in Poland, his name became Max Factor in 1904, when he went through Ellis Island on his way to becoming an American.  He began to sell his lotions and makeup in Los Angeles.  He then went onto developing a new type of  makeup that was specifically formulated for the movies.  This was called flexible greasepaint.  It got this name because it was uplike your normal movie makeup and didn’t crack.  It wasn’t until 1920 that Max Factor’s makeup became available to buy in the shops.

Estee Lauder– Estee Lauder began by selling her uncles skin creams.  In 1948 she had her own counter space at Saks Fifth Avenue.  She has been credited for giving free samples away with purchases.  She introduced her first fragrance in 1953 and didn’t look back.

Elizabeth Arden– Florence Nightingale Graham spent time learning the skills she would later use to create her own skincare lotions whilst working as a bookkeeper at a pharmaceuticals company.  Then she met Elizabeth Hubbard while working for a beauty culturist doing skin treatments.  In 1909 the pair opened their own Fifth Avenue salon. When the partnership ended, Florence decided to use Elizabeth’s name and then chose the last name Arden from the Tennyson poem Enoch Arden.  The brand Elizabeth Arden soon expanded giving skincare treatments and creating makeup colours.  Florence worked hard well into her 80’s.

Revlon– Charles Revson went into business with his brother and a chemist named Charles Lachman in 1932.  They founded the company Revlon and launched it with the introduction of a nail polish.  Revlon became known for nail polishes in a wide variety of colours.  They eventually marketed matching lipsticks, which included the legendary Fire and Ice shade of bold red.

So that’s just a little bit of Makeup history covered today, there are plenty more.
