ruby red to fuchsia even purples there
are many shades of lipstick to choose
from so how do you pick out the best
color for your skin tone joining me this
morning is makeup artist Noreen Young so
what's the answer what colors best today
it's all about whatever you want to wear
so in other words if you feel fabulous
in pink to it if you feel fabulous in
red do it the only thing you don't want
to do is use a shade that maybe doesn't
look right on you like say a real real
dark lipstick the darker the lipstick
that the smaller the lips appear and
women usually don't want to do that so
that's one key I do feel like that's
trendy right now too a lot of people are
drawn to those dark colors exactly and
you also want to make sure that you
choose a color maybe that is light to
medium tone if you want to make your
lips look bigger because again the dark
would make it look smaller so light to
medium would be something like that
light to medium and this is a new trend
in lipsticks and it's a combination so
on one side is a shimmer shade and the
other side is a matte shade like that on
this one that's so interesting you
should ask you either apply both of them
on separately or you go down the center
onto your lips and you get the best of
both worlds right so this is a lip duo
so who would wear this really dark shade
here this would be great for a woman of
color a woman from India somebody who
has a Chan somebody who loves those kind
of tones and gravitates towards them but
it would look fine on their lips and
maybe their lips could be a little
fuller rise again we're back to small
lips
we just don't mean the lighter skinned
women with very thin lips wearing the
dark and just not it's not complement
right right ok so but if you do have
those smaller lips you're saying the
light colors are best and maybe even
some shimmer with the white whew so
here's an example of a shimmer lipstick
and this is like an overlay and it's
like a highlighter so you have a I
shadow highlighter and this is a lip
highlighter and so you can use this over
colors to lighten them or you could make
new colors out of them like that or you
could use this just by itself so what
about lip liner we've seen the YouTube
videos of women putting lip liner all
over their lips and different colors to
try to accentuate your saying that's a
big
No yeah a lot of people do that and some
makeup artists recommends that a lip
liner is called a lip liner for a reason
it's not called a lipstick so if you do
use this all over your lips it's going
to dry out your lips then it'll peel
it'll flake your lipstick won't glide on
like silk it's not gonna make it last
longer use a lip stain or something else
instead that will last okay good to know
and what kind of hacks do you have for
us this morning so say you're somewhere
and you forgot your lipstick and I have
had that happen to I'm not I can leave
you though and usually in my purse I
have you know twelve and six I mean I
never know what girl I'm in the mood for
right actually
and what hue I'm in the mood for so what
you do is you take a lip balm any kind
of lip balm and you mix a dash of your
blusher or your eyeshadow and you stir
the two together if you have a travel
container you could put it in there and
it makes a beautiful lipstick so it
would be a rosy Coral this would be a
frosted champagne beautiful that's a
great tip and I'm seeing something a
little different here we've got kool-aid
over here and and looks like some beats
yeah be what this is about
okay so kool-aid okay a lot of
celebrities use believe it or not in a
pinch for lipstick and so you just mix
the kool-aid on to the lips oh wow with
a dash of water and it instantly gives
you a little tint also I have been
stranded at a restaurant I'm not kidding
you and I had no lipstick and I had a
luncheon meeting hmm I took the beat
from my salad I'm not kidding you and it
worked and I went like this with the
mirror and it worked you were lying to
