If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you know that I like to show lip techniques. Find more at SavvyThinker Quick Find from this page.
For the most part now, since I’ve found it, I use what I call the Beauté technique. Basically it uses two glosses (or I will use a lipstick and a gloss). Fill in your lips with the darker shade; rim them with the second. You can read my in depth here.
What I like about this technique It’s easy.
Subtle
It gives a softer and fresher take on lippies than a lip pencil does.
Camouflages
It camouflages the little outer edge lip lines better than a pencil does.
Volumizes
It actually works to make the lips look more voluminous.
Youthens
Isn’t this a great word! I saw this somewhere online and thought I’d start using it.
Have you tried it?
If not, you need to, especially if you are no longer in your 20s. Seriously! And the Beauté glosses are some of the nicest out there. Karla Sugar has a complete set of swatches at her blog.
My short cut
Dedicated lip brushes
This really makes it faster.
Because I use this technique so often now, I have dedicated two lip brushes to it. I had the brushes already, but they might as well have been in storage for how little I used them, until I started using this technique on a regular basis.
One brush is for darker colors or any lippie or gloss I might use, if I needed a brush. I also use this brush to blend my lips if I am smooshing two shades together with my lips, but they aren’t blended well enough without a brush. I also use this to rim if I am using a deeper color, for example, a magenta rim with a red lippie or gloss.
The second brush is used only for doing light rims.
There’s no need to clean the brushes or wipe them down as you do your lips; you won’t accidentally get a darker color on the rim. And you can use them until your normal day to clean brushes. (For the most part, I don’t clean my lip brushes, not as often as I clean my eye brushes.)
