3 Interesting Ways to Use a Lipstick

1) As a concealer

The concept of coloured concealers can somehow be related to lipsticks of different shades. Blemishes may require different colours to cover up better. For example, if you have an orange lipstick, you can actually use it to neutralize the blemish and finish it off with a concealer of your skin tone. Instead of using coloured concealers, you may want to opt for coloured lipsticks. To understand the concept of coloured concealers, click Concealer 101 : How to use Coloured Concealers?

       2)  As a blusher

                

       There are two methods to this : 

     

       First method : Start off with any colour you would like to apply on your cheeks. Apply the lipstick to the back of your hand and dab it on the apples of your cheeks using your index finger. Blend it upwards and evenly.

      

       Second method : All you need is a brush and your lipstick. Swirl your brush onto the lipstick and swirl circularly on your cheek bones

     

      When blending lipstick into your skin, be gentle as too much of pressure pushes lipstick into the skin. Set your lipstick-blusher with translucent powder after application to improve the staying power  

      3)  As a lip stain

Lip stain is a lip colour product which stains the lips so that the colour lasts longer. Use a lipstick as lip stain. Dab a little of your lipstick on your finger and blot it into lips.

For now, let’s start off with with a review on Silkygirl’s Moisture Shine Lipcolor. 

Silkygirl says :

"Moisture Shine Lipcolor comes with four main and natural ingredients to help keep lips smooth, soft and supple. Vitamin E prevents aging and reduces fine lines, while Squalene protects lips against wrinkles. Sweet Almond Oil contains softening and nourishing properties and, Evening Primrose Oil acts as a moisturizer to nourish and hydrate lips. The lipcolor is fragrance-free."- (source: www.silkycosmetics.com)

 

My verdict :

I love how the product feels on my lips and I find it very comfortable to wear. It has a moisturizing effect which keeps my lips hydrated. It has a slick consistency that glides easily onto lips, applies quite nicely and evenly. This lipstick is pretty cheap, only at 16.90 MYR. It also gives a little glitter on my lips. This lipstick comes in a plastic tube which is just fine for me. However, a few improvements can be made in terms of the design. 

This lipstick lasts for about 2-3 hours. It appears to be sheer on my lips. I have to apply 2-3 layers to witness the color it gives. However, my lips definitely look healthier than before! 

Available in eight shades :
