The way we apply makeup depends on the mood we are in - at times one may feel like pulling out a blue lipstick and putting it on while other times one may feel like applying a neutral color. If you are in the mood for a bold lips look it does not mean that your makeup look won’t be fresh. You can still manage to keep your face looking fresh while donning a bright and brilliant bold lipstick. However, keep in mind that your eye makeup should not clash with your lip makeup, so try to keep the former as natural and neutral as possible to get the best results.

Before putting on a bold lipstick, always prep your lips in order to make the process of applying the color easier. Moreover, a bright lip color like blue lipstick or hot pink never looks good on chapped or dry lips. Thus, put on a lip balm and allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes before blotting your lips with a tissue to take off the excess lip balm so that the lip color can glide on smoothly. If you have more time to spare then you can also go around your lips with a concealer to define it even more and to make your lips pop. In this way, your lips would be the most attractive feature of your face.

Unlike neutral lipsticks, a bold lipstick can be very unforgiving since it requires constant touch-ups. Therefore it would be a good idea to start off with a lip stain so that even if some of your lip color rubs off, you will still have something underneath it. Of course in case of a blue lipstick, it would be difficult to find a blue lip stain and therefore you can try applying the blue lip color all over your lips and blot it off with a tissue. Then put the tissue on your lips and dust a thin coating of powder using a brush to create a DIY ‘lip stain’. Now just add on the final layer of the blue lip color.

You can also use a lip liner as a base for your lipstick. Instead of just using the lip liner to line your lips, you can fill it in too because it works as a perfect base. When it comes to bold lipstick, it is all about the color payoff. If you want to get the best payoff then use the blue lipstick as it is. However, some people find it difficult to apply the lip color straight from the tube and therefore for them it would be advisable to use a lip brush for multiple coatings. Indeed most expert makeup artists recommend applying lipstick with a brush in order to acquire best results.

For bright lips, it is recommended to get a bold lipstick with the right formula. Opt for the ones with a creamy finish over frosty or shimmery finish in order to get the best color payoff. Of course going for a branded lipstick would also give you better results. If you are putting on a bright color, like from a blue lipstick then ensure that you carry the color with you when you leave the house in order to maintain the color throughout the day. If you have thin lips then bright lip colors would make them pop even more and an added affect can be achieved through a plumping lip gloss.

It takes a lot of confidence to sport a bold lipstick, particularly a blue lipstick. Moreover, one should keep in mind the occasion when using such lip colors. Blue lipsticks are acceptable in case of dress-up or costume parties, New Year’s Eve bash, concerts and similar occasions. It would not make sense to wear blue lip color when you are going to shop for groceries because it would surely make heads turn, for the wrong reasons of course. Thus sport lip colors as per the occasion and as per your mood. A bright lip color is an instant pick-me-up, so use it to your advantage.
While everyone likes to sport a lipstick, only a few would be confident and daring enough to try out a bold lipstick http://colouredraine.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=120&products_id=118#.USTxQ1xulPM as a part of their attire. Of course such lipsticks cannot be worn everywhere and some of the occasions wherein a blue lipstick http://colouredraine.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=120&products_id=118#.USTxQ1xulPM can be sported are weekend parties and college proms.
