Do you have a shade of lipstick that you thought would look good on you, but didn't really work out? Well, don't throw it away! A simple fix can change how it looks completely so you don't waste your money.
In my case, I purchased a Barbie pink shade from Covergirl at Target. It looked good on the model, so I hoped to try it out. It looks AWFUL against my olive skin. So fake and plastic Nicki Minaj looking. I hate it.
That is until I used this old but often forgotten trick.
What I did was took a black lip liner pencil, mostly for the contrast, but you can use any color you like. I lined my lips with it AFTER I applied the lipstick instead of before. It made a very sexy vamp look that I can definitely use. I coupled it with a tri-color smokey eye (pink silver and black) and it looked so wild and fun!
This can also work with those odd metallic shade that were oh-so-hot in the 80s and 90s.
I did this with gold lipstick (stock photo just to show method):
This mod look works great for exotic dancers and costumes. It's fun but definitely not office appropriate, so please take note of that.
So before you throw out that new tube of lipstick, try lining with a contrast color and be surprised by the results!
Stay beautiful, lovelies!
