Lipstick Mistakes All Women Should Avoid

You may be a fan of semi permanent makeup. Of course, they are available for both eyes and lips and give a person a very fresh and glamorous look without looking necessarily made up. You may have gone to a place reputed for its semi permanent makeup techniques such as Eyebrows Dubai and got your lips and eyes done. But that doesn't mean you can't or wouldn't want to wear makeup, do you?

Most women like to wear some makeup, especially on the lips. However, depending on how lipstick is worn, a woman can be made to look beautiful or ugly. The colours that you choose  and how you wear them will make the difference between beauty and ugliness.

Here we detail some common lipstick mistakes that women make and what can be done to avoid them.

The most common mistake is wearing colours which don't suit one's skin tone. If you have fair skin, brighter shades such as pinks and corals would suit you nicely. However, if your skin is dusky to dark, it would look beautiful with brown, plum and soft muted pink shades of lipstick. Red lipstick would suit almost anyone as long as you select the right shade of red which suits your skin undertone. If not, it can make you look aged and your teeth yellow. If you are not sure about the right shade for you, start applying with a lip brush till you get the colour right. One thing you should keep in mind if you are wearing red or any dark shade of lipstick is to keep your eye makeup toned down. Too much eyeshadow, eyeliner, etc. coupled with a dark mouth can make you look too 'made up' and unnatural.

Wearing dark lipstick on thin lips and light colours on thick lips is also not recommended. If not applied correctly, dark shades can make thin lips look even thinner. Thin lips can be made to appear fuller and more alluring by using a lip plumper along with the lipstick. The opposite to this is also true and thick lips may look even bigger with the application of lighter shades of lipstick, so very pale colours are best avoided by women with full lips. Fuller lips will look gorgeous with red, pink, peachy pink and purple shades.

Glitter and shimmer may be fun on the lips, however, they are for teens and twenty-somethings and any woman over 35 would do well to avoid them. They may look alright if worn in a very subtle manner without overdoing the application, but they are a strong 'no-no' when it comes to work and office.

The same goes for applying too much gloss on your lips. If you have plump lips, too much gloss will make it look too shiny and unnatural as well as overdone. If you have thin lips, too much gloss will still look unnatural. A lip gloss would look cool worn over a matte lipstick, but a heavy gloss should never be paired with a creamy lipstick.

If you have thin lips, maybe you apply lipstick outside your lip line to make them look bigger. However, this is not a good idea as it gives an unnatural and unattractive look to the whole face. A better idea is to use a glossy lip line on the centre of the lips or a good lip plumper.

Another strict 'no no', which brings a very harsh and unattractive look to the face, is the use of dark lip liner with the lighter lipstick. If you are not sure about the matching of your lip liner and lipstick, the best way is to use the lip liner inside the lip line and dab the lip liner inside the lips and then apply the lipstick over it. This will give a nice and finished look to your face.

When applying lipstick, one should be careful not to apply any on the teeth as it will look quite unsightly. Applying too much lipstick can leave stains on the teeth, so one should be careful when in the application.

If you want to avoid all these common mistakes, it's still a good idea to go for semi permanent makeup. However, make sure that you go to a reputed and qualified technician to get the job done without ending up a disaster. Eyebrows Dubai headed by Michele Soudi is one of the best places in the country, whether you want your eyes done or your lips were done.
