EASY PALE LIPS


Photo Credit: www.allure.com


A great look this season is a pair of pale lips.  They are nice with dramatic eyes and can provide quite a sultry look.  Here are some really easy steps to get this look from pages of a magazine to your own reflection:

Step 1: Protect your lips


The first thing you want to do is to moisturize your lips.  Any lip balm or Vaseline will do.  Here I am using Elizabeth Arden's 8 Hour Cream.







Step 2: Brush on the foundation


After putting foundation on your face, put on your lips whatever there is left on the foundation sponge or brush.  With the natural pink color of your lips, adding the foundation that you already use will create a nice color.



 




Step 3: Add some gloss


Use either a clear or a light-colored, sheen lip gloss onto your lips.  This will provide shine.  
If you want to stay matte, then skip this part.
Here I am using Rimmel Lip Gloss in "Mocha".




All Done!  
See?  Not difficult at all!  A great look for day or night, as easy as 1 2 3.

  2. Aww yeah I used to just use foundation as well but I found that it's hard if you need to touch up--which you inevitably do when you're throwing back drinks all night lol
    I think you're lips look lovely since theres a touch of pink in your nude. Mine usually turns out a little bit deathly LOL Super gorgeous and thanks for posting :}

  7. Nude lips look great on you! My lips have a dark rose hue to them (people tell me I look like I have lipstick on when I'm not wearing any) so I always think I look a bit strange when I dabble with this look. :-/
