Pouty Mouth

I wanted the middle of my lips to stand out a bit more so I contoured (or ombred) my lips with electrified liner from bare minerals and filled them in with call the shots lipstick also from bareminerals. Try it out with any liners and lipsticks of your choice :)

Makeup of the day

 FACE:

foundation: bare minerals ready foundation in medium beige

highlight/concealer: estee lauder double wear concealer

contour: MAC  studio finish concealer in NW35 (on sides of my nose) with bare minerals ready bronzer in high dive and the skinny dip on face

blush: MAC spring sheen

finished out with MAC mineralized skinfinish in shimpagne all over my face

EYES:

Bare minerals "The Afterparty" quad palette

top liner: MAC fluidline in blacktrack

Easy ways to matte out your lips even more.

For this look I used Moxie (special edition) lipstick from MAC. It is already a matte color but you can use any lip color and this will still work. I placed a Bare Minerals loose blush over them with a shadow brush to add a bit more color and to give it a more matte finish. You can also try a translucent finishing like MAC prep + prime finishing power, Makeup Forever finishing powder or Bare Minerals translucent mineral veil. It also will help the lip from bleeding color and lasting longer.

Quick tip: exfoliate your lips and use a lip primer like MAC prep + prime lip, to keep lips from looking or feeling dry when layering product on the lips.
