The Basics of Makeup # 2: LIPS

This is part two of my blog post series for newbies to makeup. Go check out part one first if you haven't. In this post, I will be discussing the basics of lip products and how they work.

Lips:

A lip primer - Helps your lip color stay on all day.

Lip pencil - Applied to your lips before applying your lip color for more vibrancy and a longer lasting lip color.

Lipstick - A cream colored product used on the lips to give opaque color.

Lip gloss - Used alone or over a lipstick to add a finish; not very pigmented.

Cupid's bow - The little V in the center of your upper lip.

Chapstick/lip balm - Helps hydrate your lips; both are the same except a lip balm may be colored.
