My Winter Lips

Post date: Monday 9 December 2013

'Tis the season for lipstick, is it not? There's something comforting about applying a thick, dark layer of lipstick on a cold Winter's morning. I used to wear this look every day to sixth form in the colder months, and have recently started playing around with it again. 
Along with burgundy nails and tartan scarfs, it's not the most ground-breaking look for Winter, but it works for me. As I've said before, I don't really know all that much about beauty things, I just like to play around with putting make up on my face so I apologise for this not being the most professional of tutorials. Here we go...

I apply Vaseline and then go on to do the rest of my make up, so it has time to moisturise my lips. I like the "Rosy Lips" one, as it gives a nice tint.

 Next, I apply my Revlon Lip Butter in "Candy Apple". This helps to further moisturise my lips, which I find necessary as lipsticks can often dry them out.


 Then, I take my Chanel Rouge Allure Luminous Satin Lip Colour in "Pirate" and apply it using a Models Own lip brush. I find this is more precise than applying it straight from the stick; I then rub it in with my finger to create a softer look.




Finally, I take my Kate Moss for Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in "004" and apply with the same brush, before blending with my finger again. 


 I re-apply both lipsticks to build up the colour until I am happy.


What's your statement lip for Winter?

    1. Thank you :) I wanted a burgundy lipstick but couldn't find one so that's how I started out mixing the red and purple!

  2. I really adore your lipstick! Amazing. I usually use my baby lips in pink since my lips get really dry
