lipstick and lip gloss

How to apply lipstick and lip gloss

Making up our lips as africans is a tricky venture I must say, listed below are some of the reasons



  1. we have fuller lips

  2. Our lips are naturally lined in most cases with two toned the centre usually lighter.

  3. it comes with irregular shape

How to enhance your lips




    • you can simply apply a clear gloss over the entire lip

    • Use a skin coloured lip pencil i.e. brown pencil to line your lips, use this same pencil to fill the lip add a clear lip gloss or in this case as I did below use a clear golden shimmer lip gloss.

    • Instead of the normal brown lip pencil you can use coloured pencil or lip sticks to line your lips. Colours such as wine, plum, dark raspberry, black velvet. generally line your lips with darker colour and use a brighter colour in the centre.

    • Full lip single colour, like I used red and later blue below.
