How to paint your lips with the colors of the season

Perfect lips

The most popular lip colors in spring are fresh and flattering: reds, pinks, corals and nude in different finishes will delight fans of trendy lipsticks. But how to paint your lips with them? Well, pay attention to the steps you have to follow to get a lipstick as powerful as this one.

Outline

When using such a striking color it is essential to outline first. Choose the closest possible shade to the lipstick that you are going to use later and recreate yourself in drawing the contours of your mouth without haste. In this way, the lipstick will not move out of place.

Do not stain yourself

Do you want to know a trick that really works so that your teeth do not stain with lipsticks like these? Once your lips are painted, suck a finger and pull it out; in this way, the finger will drag the excess lipstick.

Long duration

Choose long-lasting formulas so you don't worry about your lip color moving when you eat or drink. In these cases, the lipsticks usually include a balm in addition to the color to seal it.

A touch of satin

This season matte finishes coexist with other satins like this one worn by Priyanka Chopra. In these cases, profiling is not so essential because these textures are usually easier to handle.

Jumbo pencil

But since they are still strong colors, better to opt for a pencil like this to outline first and fill in later. As it has a finer tip than a classic lipstick, it allows more precision.

Fuchsia

Fuchsia colors favor certain skin tones more than others, but the same thing happens with the most resounding reds: a previous outline is necessary.

Two in one

That is why we find lipsticks like this so practical that with its double tip includes liner and color in a single product. In this way you also make sure that the color of both is exactly the same.

A brush

Makeup brushes and brushes always add definition and a professional touch. With this type of tones you can use them both to distribute the product well when you apply it directly from the bar and thus reach all the corners of your lips as well as to do it directly with the brush.

Bright pink

Although the ones that attract the most attention are the reds and fuchsia, this spring there is also room for softer lipsticks, like this pink with glitter that Amanda Seyfried wears here.

More volume

This Dior lipstick has an immediate volumizing effect so it is ideal for people with thin lips who want to make an impact with them.

Gloss

Matte finishes coexist this spring with the brightest gloss, like this one worn by Rita Ora. They give a sensation of cared, hydrated lips and also more voluminous.

Like the water

You can apply the gloss directly on your lips or on any lipstick that you like to transform its finish. So that the stick that brings the gloss does not stain, you can apply it with the tip of your finger or with a lip brush that you can wash.

Nude shades

Another of the big bets of the season is not make-up. No, it does not consist in not wearing makeup but in not looking like you are. For this, nothing better than lipsticks in nude tones with just the right shine.

Very creamy

A bar like this can be the perfect solution. The good thing about these colors is that you don't need too much precision when applying them so you can do it directly from the bar.

Outline highlighted

One of the lip trends we are seeing the most lately is highlighting the lips just above where they really start. It is not something that convinces us too much because the result can be a disaster so we recommend doing it with measure and head and only if your lips are not thick in themselves …

A touch of light

Emily Ratajkowski also dares to brush her lips above the line to give them volume, but there is a more discreet and just as effective tactic: use highlighter in that area.

Liquid and with applicator

For these cases, it is best to use a liquid highlighter because they are more natural and that it comes with an applicator like this one with a stick to be more precise when putting it on the line of the upper lip.

How to paint your lips in spring

Intense lip colors. The color red never goes out of style and it is capable of putting you in a good mood instantly. Red lipsticks are worn in a matte finish this season and to make them perfect you have to follow several steps. The first thing is to outline the contour so that the color does not shift and you end up staining the teeth or the corners. If you apply a long-lasting color, you should surely put on the fixing balm that they usually include. These types of colors, like fuchsia or coral, can also be applied with a brush for greater precision. If they are not matte, you can do without the profilersince satin tones are usually creamier and apply better. Even so, as they are strong tones, use a jumbo pencil better, which allows greater precision when applying them.
Nude lip colors. Neutral colors, as close as possible to the natural tone of the lips, are very topical and are the other side of the coin of spring trends. There are more pink or brown, so you can choose the one that best suits your skin tone. The best thing about these shades is that you can put them on directly from the bar and almost without looking in the mirror.
Gloss or lip gloss. The other option that we are seeing the most in red carpets is that of gloss or lip gloss. You can apply them directly on the lips or put them on a lipstick that you like (whatever color it is). In this case, it is better to apply it with another brush or directly with your fingers so as not to stain the applicator. The best thing is that they have an immediate volumizing effect.
