Make Up: The Essentials (Part III)

Part III : Lips

Pucker Up Girls! We're here to talk about our lips and how to show them off. Now, lipstick doesn't need any introduction, you've seen it everywhere and its always classified itself as one of the main make up essentials. But before we can add any color to those lips, just like everything else on our face, we should talk about the health of our lips.

Dior, I can't think of a different brand who has as many lip gloss shades as this fashion house!

Hate getting chapped lips? Alpha does too. To fight agaisnt the chappy lips Alpha has several favorite chap sticks! Try them all!

1. Chap-Ice, Regular Lip Balm
   Why we like it: Even though it doesn't have a flavor, it really helps dry lips!
2. Vaseline, Lip Therapy
   Why we like it: The subtle flavor is nice on the lips with a nice glossy shine!
3. Origins, Cover Your Mouth
   Why we like it: It doesn't make the lips too wet, has a nice minty scent which smell great.
4. Lip Smacker, Dr. Pepper
   Why we like it: A cute, girly chap stick that gives your lips a soft hint of red. Smells and tastes fun!
5. Maybelline, Baby Lips SPF 20 Lip Balm
   Why we like it: Smoothly glides on, immediately cools your lips, cutest tube too! 

Beside chap stick or lip balm, there are many different types of lip color formulas. The main ones are:

1. Lip Gloss
2. Sheer Lipstick
3. Shimmery Lipstick
4. Cream Lipstick
5. Lip Stain
6. Matte Lipstick
7. Long-wearing Lipstick

Lip color ranges from nude  (a color close to skin tones) to extreme colors reds, blues, blacks, almost any color you can think of! The good thing about lip color is that you can wear almost any shade, it doesn't really matter what you're skin color is - it's really how the lips compliment the whole look. 

I must say that although some lip colors are really really cool and would look smokin' hot, I believe Alpha isn't really accustomed to wearing lipstick. We really do like our chap sticks and lip balms. For special event I know we like to play up our lips but once again, the colors we choose are subtle, sweet and calm. 

This concludes all the Make Up Essentials that every lady should know! From now on it's just helpful tips, how to create a certain look, hair styling, and new make up product reviews! Hope this was helpful for everyone!

Love
