You can even make your own unique color combinations by mixing lipstick colors on your lips to define your mouth, add color to your face and balance your overall look. That way you can customize your lip color to create the effect you want and to match different clothes. The following are Mix & Match Lip Colors:

Looks best where the skin towards the corner of the eye is not sagging such as on younger women, because their skin is still firm.

Metallic shimmers contain small pieces of mica reflect the light but this quality looks more subtle after applied to the lips. Shimmers draw attention to the lips and can make them appear fuller.

Cream
Moisturizing lipstick containing oils and conditioners (like a lip balm), that makes them lighter and smoother than heavy mattes. Cream lipsticks are available in long lasting formulas.

Matte
Longest lasting formula containing the most pigment (which can dry your lips) provides deep opaque colors. Lighter mattes are known as semi matte. With a matte or semi-matte lip color you can create a warm, natural effect and they can also make the lips look thinner.

Long-Lasting
This deep, creamy, time-release (semi permanent) formula uses the heat from your lips to stimulate continuous release of color that does not fade and can last up to eight hours.

Cream, Matte, Long Lasting Lipstick

Lip liner keeps lipsticks within the bounds of your lips and defines the outlines of your mouth to create a crisp, sharp border for coloring your lips. Lip pencils are used to correct the shape of unbalanced lips since it is easier than it is when using lipstick only. They are made from a much harder wax than lipstick and with less oil.

Applying lipsticks with moisturizers and sun protection is one effective way to protect the lips from weather changes. Moisturizing lipsticks have the smallest amount of pigment, because pigment dries your lips. Lipstick adds the finishing touch to makeup by bringing the other colors you have applied to your face into harmony. Applting lipstick after drawing a crisp lip outline is an important key in the finishing touch since it helps to keep the color from bleeding.
Use a freshly sharpened lip pencil (lip liner) either in the same color as the lipstick or slightly darker color. Avoid colors that are more than one shade darker (or lighter).

• 1. To make applying lipstick easier, rub a small amount of moisturizer on your lips.
  2. Outline the center edge of your upper lip with lip liner.
  3. Move to the center of your bottom lip and draw a short, horizontal line.
  4. Now lline carefully the corners of your mouth. If your lips are asymmetric, refer to correcting irregularly shaped lips section below.
  5. Connect the lines drawn at the top and bottom center of your lips with the lines drawn at the corners of your mouth.
  6. Use a small, firm lipstick brush and begin applying lipstick; this gives you more control over direction and achieves a perfect edge. Relax your jaw so that your mouth is open slightly and brush on color starting in the middle of the upper lip.
  7. Blot your lips jently on a tissue, being careful not to smudge or remove to much color. Then brush on a second coat of lip color to create a deeper effect.
  8. For a shiny finish, use a clear or tinted lip gloss after applying lipstick. For a matte effect, lightly dust your lips with translucent powder using a powder brush.

• Use eyeliner to outline the contour of your eyes at the base of the eyelashes and continue toward the outer corner, thicken and "wing" the line upward.

• 

• Apply foundaton or concealer to the edges of your lips to blur the edge. Use a lip liner to outline to your lips just inside the lip line, then brush on a layer of matte lip color.

• 

• Enlarge a thin top lip by outlining the upper lip just outside the edge using a lip liner, then outline the lower lip drawing the line on the natural edge. Brush on the lip color inside the line, applying more color to the thinner half of the lip.

• 

• Outline upper lip with a lip liner to emphasize the "v" in the middle. Draw the line just outside the lip edge of the bottom lip to make it fuller. Brush on the dark, matte lip colors for even more defination.

• 

• Cover upper and lower lips with little foundation. Outline lips with lip liner. Choose the lipstick color, then begin applying lipstick by brushing a darker shade onto the lighter lip and a lighter shade onto the darker lip.

Applying Lip Gloss
Lip gloss is used to add extra shine after applying lipstick. It can be tinted or colorless and you can use it alone or over lipstick. Apply only on to the center of your lips since it tends to 'bleed' beyond the lip edges. Lip gloss is not recommended for use of mature skins.
