Now It’s time for lip color…
Almost done! Applying your lip color is one of the last steps before you’re done and ready to go, but hopefully the color and formula has been chosen weeks in advance. You want something that compliments the rest of the look, suites your personality, doesn’t clash with your dress, and most of all is long wearing, and wont transfer on to your new hubby.
To this end, SeneGence LipSense Liquid Lip Color is my product of choice. It literally stains the first two layers of skin creating a very natural looking hint or burst of color. The first layer of color goes on very sheer and intermingles with your natural lip color so you can look like you, only better. By applying two or more layers of color you would get a more opaque level of color. Try using two or three different shades to create your own unique variation.
I love this stuff because it does not come off. Whenever I have left a wedding where I have used SeneGence LipSense Liquid Lip Color, I have no fear what so ever, that my clients lip color will fade, smudge or bleed beyond the lip line. It’s not going anywhere!
In fact if you would like to remove it before it’s time, which in some cases has been up to 2 days, you would have to use a remover. The Oooops! Remover will help you correct any application errors or remove your long-lasting lip color at the end of the day.
Application tips…
■Before you do anything, start by marinating your lips in an ample amount of chap-stick or lip moisturizer of your choice.
■When you are ready to apply your lip color make sure you blot of any excess moisturizer. Your lips should be clean and dry.
■If you are going to use a lip liner, now would be the time to apply it. Just remember to blend the inner edge of the line in to avoid that dated dark lip pencil / light lipstick look. We don’t do that anymore…
■Now for the lip color — I like using two shades, a base color that goes all over the lip, and on top of the lip liner too. The second shade would be a highlighter. It would have to be slightly lighter than your base color and may even have some shimmer in it. Place just a little bit at the center of your lips, upper and lower.
■Lastly gloss over finished lips with moisturizing gloss and you are good to go for hours if not days. All you have to do is continue to gloss throughout the day to keep your lips moistened and the color strong.
You are almost out the door and on your way to your beautiful wedding. just a few finishing touches and you are on your way. In the next installment of this series I will talk about the finishing touches including an overview on hair.
