How to Wear This Season’s Hottest Lip Colors
This season’s two hottest lip colors may be at opposite ends of the glamour spectrum, but they both cry out for full pouty lips to show them off to best effect. Rich sexy reds and demure barely-there nudes are this winter’s go-to lip colors for every occasion. Bold and dramatic, both lip colors demand lusciously full lips. If you weren’t born with Scarlett Johansson’s sexy kisser or Angelina Jolie’s famous pout, fillers treatments can help give you what Mother Nature missed. Filler treatments carefully administered by a board-certified Cleveland cosmetic surgeon can add volume to your lips and put them center stage.
Here’s how to dress your lips so you’re ready for whatever the day brings:
Barely-there nude lipstick is replacing pink gloss as the default lip color this season. To put the spotlight on your lips, choose a creamy lipstick with a slight gloss in a nude shade that is just a touch darker than your natural lip color. Test the color by comparing your lip color to your gums. Aim for a lip stain that looks neither too light nor too dark against your gums. Nude lipstick can carry you through the day from yoga to the office to a night of dancing at Cleveland’s hottest club. Tone down or glam up your look with layers of eye liner, shadow and mascara.
Sexy red lipstick creates drama and adds polish to your appearance. The trick is to choose a red that works with your skin tone. Choose brick reds for dark skin tones; true red for bronze complexions; orange reds for olive skin; and blue reds for fair skin. During the day, mute the drama with mascara and blush. In the evening, glam it up with black eyeliner and shimmery gold shadow.
