Day into Night with a Perfect Pout

Outlast Lip Stains by Cover Girl          

  These are great for when you want color to last all day and not have to keep reapplying. Its an easy product to use once you get the hang of it, but your lips need to be in good condition- not chapped or dry as the product will really emphasize dry skin and go darker on those parts. I also love the price! Great way to try a shade out of your comfort zone without busting your budget. I pulled the fall colors that give you a pop of color : Berry Smooch #405, Coy Coral #430 and Plum Pout #425 are three of my autumn favorites that give a vibrant on trend type of stain  without the heaviness of traditional lipstick. If you want to rock a sooty/smoked eye with a bit of goth rock and roll flavor, I really like Flirty Nude #435. The best way to apply these is open your mouth and one constant light application- it is really simple to use and works like a waterproof marker- the more times you go over the section the more color intensity you will build up, so the less is more mantra really works here- DONOT lick your lips or press together right away as you need around 60 seconds to let it dry- If you are addicted to that killer pout I suggest you first use a natural or complimentary looking  lip liner to define your mouth-  it should fade away towards the middle and not leave you with a solid, hard noticeable line. Use your finger, bruh or q-tip to soften- you can really use a lip liner to give your mouth an almost 3-D effect and really give yourself wannabe Angelina lips. 

With the first three lip shades you should look like you ate some really delicious fruit and your mouth was stained by it. This look is best if you are not doing tons of eye makeup as your lips become the focus and everything else is simple, chic and doesn’t require constant maintenance. Simple curled lashes and mascara on top will look great if you are really working the glamorous fall mouth with a thicker defined eyebrow.  The darker edgy eye needs a softer muted mouth so your face doesn't look like it's fighting with itself and stays modern. For this I'd keep all the focus on the strong eye and keep everything else understated.

 TIP AND TRICK- If you are worried about your lipstick bleeding/traveling into cracks/ fine lines around your mouth, I like to use a little concealer all around on the outer edge of the lip, blend  in and follow right away with a loose or pressed translucent powder to set. This works well on giving you a fuller pout and also keeps your lip color where you want it.
