• Composition and expiry date of the lipstick

Any lipstick contains wax, moisturizing oils, coloring and softening substances. These are the ingredients you should pay attention to when trying to determine the quality of the lipstick. Wax makes the lipstick soft and easy to apply. Beeswax and Brazilian palm tree wax are most often used in production of make up products.

The oils most commonly included into the composition of the lipstick are the following: castor oil, mineral oil, olive oil and coconut oil, as well as lanolin and Vaseline. Castor oil is a necessary component in the lipstick composition as it is the one that adds shining to the color.

Sun rays are harmful for the mucous tunic of the lips. To protect the lips world producers of the lipstick add UV filters into the composition.

Expiry date is specified by the producer. So, when choosing the lipstick see the expiry date. The lipstick that has been kept in bad conditions or has spoilt already has a poignant smell, becomes too liquid or too dry.

• Notice the lipstick on skin color

Put a little lipstick on your wrist to get the actual display. In general, people with light skin looks good when wearing red lipstick plum color, medium brown, pink beige, mocha browns, and shimmery pink. While the brown-skinned people, suitable to use lipstick shades of dark blue, warm browns, deep caramels, creamy coffees, and deep pinks.
Fitting olive skin wearing lipstick color brownish reds, plums, dark berries, Auburn, Mahogany, and chocolate. While the colors blue-based reds, deep plums, wine, mahogany, brown variety of shades, sheer pinks, and berries, perfect for owners of brown and black leather.

1.  Cool Skin Tones: If your skin is a cool tone, be sure to look for reds with pink undertones. Many reds come in shades of Berry, Blackberry, Brick or Plum, which are ideal for cool toned ladies. Red with blue undertones are also known to have a visually whitening effect on your teeth, which is always a plus.
2. Warm Skin Tones: If your skin is a warm tone, look for reds with yellow undertones. Many times you’ll find flattering red lipsticks in orange shades, warm shades, tomato red shades, brown based shades, golden shades or tawny shades.

• Properties of the lipstick

What is the ideal lipstick like? Well, it should keep the color, moisturize and protect the tender lip skin. Besides, it shouldn’t be too dry or go off too soon. It can’t run or leave spots on the lips after you have removed it.

Based on different properties the lipstick can come in three main kinds: lasting, matte and glossy. Lasting lipstick stays visible and bright for a long time due to the fact wax and some water-proof substances are included into its composition. Lasting lipstick should be applied on dry lips. It takes a minute for a lipstick to fix on the lips. After that, you can enjoy your lips being colored for about eleven hours. However, if you have opted for a lasting lipstick avoid eating any fatty products as they can remove your lipstick easily.

Matte lipstick contains a lot of powder and wax. The color is deep and mysterious. It looks great on full lips but is to be avoided for thin lips.

If you wish to create the illusion of fuller lips try a glossy lipstick. It is applied easily, moisturizes well and makes the skin smooth.

Brown eye color best matches your lipstick red, brown, and pink. Blue eyes match the color pink and beige. Green eyes fit with the lipstick color orange, red, or brown. Meanwhile, brown eyes look great bright colors and bold lipstick.

While the dark-haired woman can choose a bold color lipstick, such as raspberry red, various shades of red, geranium, coral, fuchsia, vivid roses, berry, burgundy, and plum. And, gray-haired woman or a white, fitted with a warm color lipstick.

• Choose a color as needed

Matching bright red lipstick if you want to go to nightclubs, but not when you work in companies that tend to be conservative, because it would be more fitting with the pink beige. Bright colors can be applied at night, while during the day, just soft enough. And, if you wear make-up eyes that “heavy”, apply lipstick only mild.

Beauty Tips for Teen Girls

Makeup and clothing is an issue for many teenage girls. If you are stressing about what you should look like as a newcomer in middle school, or a freshie in high school, here's a quick guide to help your fashion mature with you throughout middle and high school.

In Sixth grade, wear lip gloss, some mascara, and maybe a little bit of pale eyeshadow; don't go too heavy or it may look bad. If you want to try out more types of makeup, keep that for home experiments.
As for clothes, keep it in your comfort level. Bear this in mind: if you are wearing a bra or undershirt, don't let the straps hang out. It doesn't look cool; it just looks sloppy. If you are wearing a short shirt, check in the mirror to see if your stomach hangs out of the bottom. Otherwise, wear something a little bit longer. Also, if your pants are likely to slip, wear a belt. Belts are totally hip now!
* The main point is to keep the makeup light, and the clothes clean cut.

In Seventh grade you are beginning to care a little more what you look like; you might want to try curling your hair a few days a week, and using different hairstyles besides your typical ponytail.
If you are acne prone, try foundation. Remember thet even oily skin can get flaky and that looks horrible with foundation. So try it on weekends first and ask your mother (or someone that uses foundation well) if it looks okay.
In Seventh grade you might want to try eyeliner. But not too much because you don't want to look like a racoon!
Start trying to tie outfits together with accessories. It's good to try new things with your makeup and clothes. But when you try the new things, make sure it looks good on you, not just in the picture or at the store. Check out different stores, and find out if there is a style that suits you.

In eighth grade you are probably getting good at makeup and you know what you like. Try establishing your own hairstyle without looking like everyone else. For example, if everyone has long, layered hair with no bangs, try light wispy bangs and a shorter, layered look.
You might be wearing tighter jeans now and probably starting to get concerned with impressing the guys, so it's safe to try out more mature styles such as a sleek leather blazer, or lower cut necklines. If you are happy with your sports bra, that is totally OK. But it's safe now to check out the actual bra department and wear something that makes you feel pretty - like lace.

Ninth grade: high school! This is a big transition. Now in the same world as seniors, you are going to want to look like the rest of your peers. You should by now have your makeup and hair styles already. Try to update this look a bit, because no one wants to carry the same look they had in middle school. Dramatize a detail in your hair. If its known for it's left side part, part it even deeper. Make a straight style even sleeker and hip. Learn to make youre curls tighter, or looser.
In high school you might want to wear your usual make up during the day, and as you start to go out with friends and boys at night, add a darker shade of eyeliner, or jazz up your lips with something more festive. It's also good to try new shoes, try wearing spikier ankle boots with a pair of hot jeans and a blouse. Chunkier heels aren't as hip as spikes as you get older. Incorporate accessories into your outfit. Buy yourself a bag that's in suede or leather to keep your schoolbooks in, instead of a backpack. You will want to buy yourself a new jacket, and make it your own.
You know what you like, so go and find clothes that fit your style, but crank it up a notch for a more mature feel.

4. Then, carefully use make-up to conceal.
