The right color

With so many different lipstick colors and textures, it's not easy to find the right shade. The general rule is:

Gloss conjures up fullness Lipsticks and glosses with a shimmer effect make the mouth look fuller and appear fresh.

Matte colors with strong pigments don't slip quickly on the lips. Perfect for going out

Light makes you lookyounger The softer and more subtle the shade, the more youthful it makes us look. A nude shade evens out fine lines and makes the mouth look plumper.

Preparation First, gently remove any dry flakes of skin from the lips. To do this, moisten a toothbrush and run it over the closed mouth for around 10 to 20 seconds.

Outlinethe contour To ensure that the finished result is precise and the color does not run into the tiny lip lines, trace the contour with a lip liner in a matching color and, if necessary, adjust the shape, i.e. lightly paint over or under.

Make-up Now it's the lipstick's turn. Brush a dab onto a special lip brush and apply. Do not use too much color, otherwise it will settle on the teeth.

Make it last Loose powder sets the look. To do this trick, simply press a tissue over your mouth and dust a little powder onto it with the brush. Remove the tissue and then apply a second coat of lipstick. It simply lasts longer

This is the trend

These two colors are now setting the tone on the lips

Nude - natural in everyday life
Delicately made-up lips in subtle shades of pink and skin tones make the mouth look fuller and appear fresh. This makes them the ideal everyday companion. Choose a color that contrasts with your own complexion. Otherwise you'll quickly look sickly.

Berry - Stylish for going out
Sensual wine red and violet shades are an impressive way to adorn the mouth in the evening. They look particularly good on fuller lips. To ensure a precise result, the color should always be applied with a special lip brush.
