Lips care
a) Lips: - when applying lip- stick, one should always use lip brush as it always defines the lip to a better shape. It gives you total control over how much lip- stick you are applying, and blotting between coats, built up and stabilizes the colours of your lips but not the thickness. But many of us feel lazy and prefer to use the lip- stick straight away. This week I am giving you a few different tips for those who prefer to use the brush, and how to clean a lip brush between applications, long with a few lip liner tips.

Cleaning techniques

To remove lipstick from the brush, clean it with a small quantity of acetone and wipe with a clean cloth.
You should try and buy a lipstick brush with a lid. After applying lip-stick, wipe off the color form the brush with a bit of Vaseline or a drop of Johnson’s baby oil. This will clean your brush effectively and the Vaseline or the oil will keep your lips soft.
To clean the lipstick brush between application, dip the used brush in a little hydrogen peroxide solution available an at all chemists’ and wipe dry with a soft muslin cloth.
Hairspray often work as a pre- wash spray for brushes. Rub the brush vigorously with a petroleum jelly and wash. Alternately, apply some toothpaste well in to the brush and then wash as normal.
After each application, wipe off the lipstick brush with a moist cotton ball. Then clean our brush in lukewarm soapy water to which one teaspoon of paraffin or ammonia has been added . Afterwards, rinse it in lukewarm water to which a pinch of soda Vicar has been added, this will keep the stubborn brushes clean.

Liner strokes
If you want your lip stick to last, use a lip pencil as a base. Outline color of your lips with pencil, nude, if your lipstick shade is light, and apply the lipstick on top.
If you want a softer smudgier, less define lips, then don’t use pencil or lip liners. If you don’t want your lipstick or even gloss to feather, then outline your lips with a lip pencil.
