Still Haven’t Tried Blue Lipstick? Now It is High Time to do So!
You've seen purple lipstick, but have you ever tried blue lipstick? If so, you know that while it can look amazing on the right person, it's also a serious risk. You have to be sure that you're willing to make this commitment before attempting the bold look because it's not something that people tend to get right on their first try.
The Beauty of Blue Lipstick
They give a bold look and can be used to add drama to your makeup look. You can wear it on its own or pair it with other colors for a bold contrast, like pairing blue lips with a bright orange eyeshadow.
Blue lipsticks are also great for making your lips stand out if you have an otherwise simple outfit or if you want to go all out in terms of color and shine. This shade is especially flattering on women who have fair skin tones because it gives their face more definition while still looking natural enough that they don't feel like they're wearing too much makeup (which might not always be the case with other shades). It's also easy to find this shade in both matte formulas and creamy glosses so everyone should be able to find something they love.
How to Choose the Right Shade
The first step in choosing the right shade is to match your skin tone. If you have fair or light skin, go for a brighter blue that will make your eyes pop. If you have dark or olive skin, choose a muted shade so as not to overpower the rest of your face with too much color.
Next, consider where on the spectrum between light and dark blues you want your lipstick to fall: if it's too light (or even worse--nude), then it'll look more like a lip balm than something made for color; likewise for going too dark--you don't want an eyesore! Finally, take note of whether or not this particular lipstick has shimmer embedded within its formula; if so, ask yourself how much shimmer can be tolerated before looking ridiculous.
How to Wear Blue Lipstick
Use a lip liner to make the color more intense. This will help you get an exact match and prevent bleeding.
Apply the lipstick with a brush, instead of your finger (which can smudge).
Blot between layers for a more intense look!
Apply a lip balm to keep lips from drying out or becoming chapped during wear time!
How to Make Your Lips Look Fuller with Blue Lipstick
To make your lips look fuller, use a lip liner in the same shade as your lips. Then fill in your lips with the pencil. You can also use a lip liner and then fill in your lips with a lip gloss, but this is not recommended if you have dry skin or chapped lips because it will make them appear even drier. If you are looking for classic red colors which will make your lips fuller, try the [Raw Gemstone] Velvet Slim Lipstick from Perfect Diary.
Tips for Applying and Maintaining a Perfectly Blue Pout
Make sure you have a good foundation and primer before applying them. If your skin is uneven or blotchy, it can make the color of your lips look strange and patchy. We recommend using the High Coverage Liquid Foundation from Perfect Diary for its long-lasting results.
Make sure you have a good lip liner before applying them. You don't want any part of your lips showing through or looking weirdly bare around the edges--this will just make them look less like actual lips and more like an angry cartoon character with no mouth!
And finally, don't forget about moisturizing! Your lips are going to dry out fast when they're exposed all day long (and night!), so keep them well-lubricated by using an SPF-rated lip balm at least once every few hours throughout the day (or more often if necessary).
Conclusion
If you're ready to experiment with blue lipstick, we'd suggest starting with a sheer or semi-sheer shade. You can layer on an opaque matte finish, but it takes some patience and practice. Also, if you want to go with classic shades, we recommend trying the Rouge Intense Velvet Slim Lipstick(Red Fox Limited) from Perfect Diary. It has a long-lasting formula and comes with nourishing ingredients so that you look youthful all day long.
