Quick Lipstick Trick - no lip gloss necessary!

Hello, everyone! Ｏ(≧∇≦)Ｏ

Finally I'm back! I've been gone for more than 2 months because I'm right here in the Philippines spending quality time with my family & friends. OK. Since I was talking about food in my last post, I'll be talking about makeup this time.

Recently, I've been playing VMUA (Volunteer Make-Up Artist) to my cousin Kaja. She is in a girly "Kpop" group called Pink Step and I looove 'painting' her face when she is about to go onstage! ^-^ She's my cute, little guinea pig. Right, Ja?

 So, this is the BEFORE pic over here. No makeup whatsoever. (She already has her wig on, though.)

Tada! This is her AFTER. She only wanted to have a simple smokey-eye look. Main eye-shadow colors: light grey and super dark grey + black liquid eyeliner. Her cheeks are a combination of light peach & pink and she has false lashes on.

Now, I'm not gonna go on and on with the types of primers I used and the other stuff I put on her eyelids. That's for another post. What I want to focus on are her LIPS.
Yes, just a very simple lip trick to those who are new to the magical world of makeup.

WHAT YOU NEED: 2 lipstick colors (one matte, the other should be glittery/shimmery & a bit lighter-toned). That's it. ^_^
So here I simply used RED lipstick (doesn't matter what brand) + a shimmery, light, metallic ORANGE.

Put the red lipstick as you would normally put lipstick on. Use a lip brush (optional) to ensure that every nook & cranny is covered with that luscious color.

THEN, for your lips to pop out and shine, pat/glide a bit of the orange only in the middle part of your lips (upper and lower). And voila! You're done. Your lips are shinin' like nobody's business! ;D

Other colour-combinations that work: red + light pink, mauve + shimmery hot pink, hot pink + white eyeshadow (yes, you read that  right!) Now go search for 2 lipsticks in your bedrooms and get creative! Enjoy!
