Just a first tip - always make sure your lips are in good condition! I would reccomend exfoliating them wih either a wet toothbrush or a lip scrub like the ones from Lush!
Then always moisturizer your lips! I have listed a few and some comments below:
These are good as lip balms and do not leave too much creamy residue 👍 Buy from anywhere but Europe!
Let's dive in with my first lip product - the Rimmel London Lasting Finish lip liner in Black Tulip (063).
In this photo I have outlined my lips and filled them in! I am not a big fan of liners and I seldom use them! But if I do - in the darker shades - this would be my liner of choice! I never line my lips and fill them in with another product! It looks choppy and messy - this is the safest and easiest way!
My second method is using my Revlon Lip Butter in PinkTruffle (001). This is slightly lighter and is on the brown nude side - but I feel like it still counts as a berry shade! Really smooth - nice application!
As you can tell - this is rather purple and is on the muted side! Lovely texture! You can layer this in many different ways so you can have a fuller or faded effect!
My third is a lipstick from Kiko and is the darkest I own! Truth be told - if I went dark enough it would be brown/dark purple! The trick with these types is the technique! I will do a few different ones with this product!
Here I have done some light, but firm stroke of the bullet on to my lips and rubbed them together firmly. This creates a much darker finish!
Here I have applied it as I would a regular lipstick. So I have pressed harder than in previous pictures!
And this is the darkest I could get it! I achieved this by putting layers of lipstick on! I basically coated my lips in a dark purple! So those are all the ways you could use the Kiko lipsticks!!!
Just a warning! The picture below is what is left after using the Kiko and trying to get it off! Believe me - I tried my best...
Now on to my lip lacker! I only have one and it is from Maybelline New York! It is in Endless Ruby (540). It has the best application ever!!!!
As you might be able to tell - it is on the red side of berry lip lackers! I applied on top of my lips that had the Kiko residue on them - so it built up nicely!
My last example is of my Ted Baker No1 lip gloss! This is really nice and has a great formula, but it smudges easily - so I would recommend it if you aren't eating much or having you hair in your face (in case if dancing)! A lovely colour - a hybrid between Maybelline and Kiko! It is extremely hard to apply btw!
So those are my berry lip techniques! I hope I have helped and interested you in today's blog! I also hope you feel comfortable enough to enter the berry lip world if you haven't already! Don't worry, there are loads of different ways to use products like these! Have a nice week!👄
