Everybody loves MAC lippies. Me too!
So, to show a different technique that you can actually use, I thought I'd show it with the Beauté technique. To see more about this technique.
In the order of application
Sweet Thing Lustre on the entire lip
Love Child Lipglass used on the outer rim, with a lip brush
Flashmode Liplustre, used in the middle of the lip
I thought this was gorgeous, what do you think?
All pictures were taken in the same session, just the way it reflects the light.
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 more voluminous.
Youthens
Isn't this a great word! I saw this somewhere online yesterday and thought I'd start using it.
What I'm working out with the technique
I'm trying different color glosses for the outer rim. I want it to be striking, but not odd.
Lovechild is a soft neutral color with a hint of gold flash in it. It is similar to using a neutral lip pencil. If I had chosen a pinker color or even a whiter shade, the look would have been different.
Do I care? I'm not sure. I'm really happy with this. But later in the day I will try the others just to see.
Some looks will work better than others. But once I have it clear in my mind, it will be as easy as 1-2-3.
Have you used this technique yet?
Please try it, if you haven't! Then, let me know.
