I have to exfoliate my lips as they're quite a large surface area and sometimes when I wear lipstick, it goes all cakey. So I mix brown sugar with lip balm and just scrub it onto them.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I always put a layer of lip balm first, and then I layer the lipstick on by using a lip brush to help get it into the whole lip and make a really even line.
I like lip liners over lipsticks. I have so many of them from so many different brands, so I just pick the color that works.
I put on lip balm first thing in the morning and always use it before I swipe on my red lipstick.
I am a lip person. I constantly need a really good lip moisturizer with me. Mine is a Clairin's moisture replenishing lip balm. I have two of them: I have one I keep next to my bed, so it's the first and last thing in the morning and evening, and then 10 times a day in my purse.
My big thing is to make sure the lipsticks taste good when you kiss. And, well, so far they taste pretty darn good.
I take up my make-up with Garnier's Micellar and then exfoliate with a Kiehl's exfoliating cream.
I'm pedantic about lip balm. I've been chomping through Lip Smackers since age 11. So the lip balm called Lips! is a personal favourite. I also really love the Properly Clean cleanser. Women are wearing primer, sunscreen and makeup, so a cleanser needs to work hard these days.
When I'm doing my own makeup, I just stick to a bit of black liner, some blush and a nude glossy lip.
With a bright-red party lipstick, just go with lots of mascara and keep everything else clean.
I envy those who can wear red lipstick or any bold lip colour, really. My top lip just doesn't seem to take colour - there's nothing I can do to change that, so I usually just use a nude on the bottom lip.
