When it comes to investing on beauty products and learning to do my own makeup, I´m a terribly late bloomer. What propelled me to actually do my research on beauty was a makeup disaster that happened on one of the most important events in my life. So I told myself, “You´re gonna learn how to do this and you´ll invest on quality, even luxury makeup!”
Two important things that I learned to focus on in doing my makeup are the eyes and the lips. But in this post I won´t talk about the eyes, I will save that for another blog post, but let´s discuss the lips. My requirement for a lip color is it should have a natural glow, with a little oil or moisturizer in it without making its shine look overdone or feel greasy.
In choosing products for our lips I learned that there are many factors that go with it—our skin color, the character of our lip skin, and the shape of our lips.
Below are the luxury lip products that are most popular. Do your research to see which products fit best on you.
