wrinkled lips fix tips and tricks' hi I'm Schellea and welcome to Fabulous 50's
today's video is a few quick tips on how to apply lipstick and lip liners and lip
gloss if you've got lip wrinkles I'm going to show you how to avoid a
lipstick bleed and I'm also going to show you how to make your lips look more
youthful as you're getting older the first tip I'm going to share with
you is the thing that you do before you even buy your lipstick so when you're in
the store and you want to test the color of your lipstick you apply the lipstick
to your finger tip not to the back of your hand or to your wrist and the
reason is that the finger tip is the closest you'll get to the skin on your
lips and our skin on our hands is very very different and it's going to throw a
different shade put your lipstick here like this and when you put it here and
here you're going to get the closest match so that's a really cool trick when
you've got wrinkles on top of your lip and your lips are lined it's a lot safer
and a lot more gentle to wear a nude lipstick or a lighter color which is
great but there's some rules you've got to follow with applying a nude lipstick
if you go to light it can make you look very very sick so the general rule of
thumb is to choose two colors darker than your skin tone and that's a good
color and then go either warm or cool depending on what your undertone is so
let me tell you a trick that they use and this will help explain it a little
bit better the special effects makeup artists actually make lips look very
very pale if they want to make one of the actors dead or look very very sick
and what they'll do is go a couple of shades lighter than the skin tone and
they'll add a cool color and then you look dead so I'm just going to show you
what it looks like on me
see what that's done it's made my lips look sickly
and it's just too light and then if I added a lip gloss on top of that a
pigmented gloss this is so beautiful by the way this is Natasha Denona but it's
too light for me I can wear this over a darker color but if I go in and
intensify the lightness it just washes me out and it's just not very good so
remember that when you're choosing a nude color go to shades darker than your
skin tone and that will be perfect for you
the real perfect color for everybody's lip is their natural color and you find
your natural color from going inside your lip and this color here is your
natural color and you choose a liner to match that color and if I draw a line
inside my lip and match it to that color they're the same so that way I know this
is the perfect nude color for me but if I was just going for a very natural look
I could wear this and it would mimic my actual real lip color so it would look
right and if you've got lots of lip wrinkles or any lining at all using a
lip liner is what you need to do because that's going to stop any lipstick
running into your lines and if I was going to add a little bit of gloss to
this to make it more bright I could just add a little bit of gloss to the bottom
of my lip and not so much on top because I don't want it to bleed into the lines
and that's just a very natural look I'm gonna take that off when you're in the
shop testing lipsticks here's a trick always take the lipstick off but then
apply a little bit of foundation over the top of your lips because when
you try the next color you don't want that to mix in with the leftovers of the
color you've had on before because some of them have stains in them and then you
can't get a really true indication of the color new colors are more safe to
wear when you've got lots of lines and wrinkles on top of your lips but we
don't all want to have nude all the time so you can go darker when you go very
very dark and deep it does thin your lips out but I'm going to show
you a technique that actually brings your lips in and makes them a little bit
wider I'm going to use this lip liner here it's Kat Von D this color Smith
this is very bright so I can easily demonstrate for you Kat Von D lip liners
are really great if you've got wrinkles on your lips because it doesn't budge
once it goes on your lips it doesn't feather and that's what we want formulas
that are going to stay put and once you put this on and then your lipstick on
top you've got a much better chance of keeping your lines free of any residue
from your lipstick so here's what you do you map out your lips you mark out your
lips just from the inner corner of your mouth and we are going to draw a false
line before our lips finish I'll show you what I mean
so I've drawn my lip liner to not go all the way out to the edges and you just
gently taper it in before you get to the edge of the mouth and what this does is
it brings your lips in and makes them look more youthful which is great for us
and you can slightly slightly over draw the line that you naturally have to make
your lips appear a little bit fuller
but you don't need to do too much here and if you're just practicing don't go
too far out the lines because you don't want anything running into your lip
wrinkles and I'm going to show you in a minute
what this looks like when I go all the way out there's a big difference okay
when you've done your lip liner and you can touch it it's very very dry it's not
going to run another thing you can do is add a little bit of concealer around the
lines of your lips and then set that with powder and that's going to be extra
security that nothing's going to go into your lip lines so you just grab a little
brush and then you can outline your lips with some concealer
and then on top of that you just add a tiny tiny bit of translucent powder and
you dab it in you just dab it it's only a tiny little bit so you've got that set
now you could go out just like that with a tiny bit of gloss in the middle lip
and your makeup is not going to run into your lines for sure to intensify this
look or take it down a notch you add color to it with a lip stick and the
best lipstick we can buy if we've got lines and wrinkles on our lips is a
matte or a liquid lipstick I'm going to start off by showing you a lighter one
on top of this dark color this is the Sephora lip paint and it's a good nude
but I'm putting it on top of a darker color and what we're going to do is use
color theory we're going to add light to the middle part of our lip with a
lighter color and that's going to bring them forward and then the darker color
on the outside is going to recede so again we're using color theory to bring
our lips in and make them look more full
so you start off like that and then you tap it into its all blended
so the combination of these two colors has given me a warm pink and that's it
this isn't going to budge and it's not going to go anywhere and I can add some
gloss to that because I've got a good base these Mac lip glasses are very good
and they don't run so that will just bring the color to life a bit another
thing that you can do is add a little bit of highlight to your bottom lip so
again we're adding light to the bottom lip so that's going to make it come
forward and the correct proportion for perfect lips is 1/3 up top and 2/3 down
the bottom and if you've got a thin bottom lip you can add a little bit
underneath and add some highlight to it so just here because you want to bring
it forward and then that really helps with that proportion of 2/3 and 1/3 and
just add a bit of gloss to that so every little bit helps using those products
I've got a very clean line around my lip line so the wrinkles are still there
which I'm really upset about but they're not going anywhere just yet but I know
that my lipstick is going to stay put and I still get a nice line I'm going to
take this off now and then I'm going to apply my lip liner in a way that it is
going to go into the lip lines and wrinkles around here it's not nice I'll
show you
okay instead of going in at the edges we're going to take it all the way up to
the edges
yeah and this is how I remember my grandma applying her lipstick and she
always had bleeding here in her wrinkles I'll never forget that
okay so we've gone out to the exact corners of our lips and made that line
really prominent now if I add a lipstick on top of that I'm going to use the
Bobbi Brown pale coral and take it all the way to the edges and can you see how
it looks a lot worse when my lip liner and lipstick comes all the way out
compared to this where my lips are being brought forward it's just a much nicer
look and if I was to wear this out for a couple of hours or even a couple of
minutes I think it's going to start running down these wrinkles here I can
already see it starting so yeah this is a really good trick to know and if I add
a gloss all the way out and all the way up it's kind of a mess and I am NOT
going to feel safe walking out like this because I know it's going to bleed so if
you have lip wrinkles just like me I hope you enjoyed these tips and I really
hope they helped you please give a thumbs up if you enjoyed the video and
