Bad Bold Lip Colors Yes or No!
T
his summer’s hottest trend seems to be the Big
Bold Lip in a variety of bright, colorful popping
colors. Sometimes we as women are so “tradi-
tional” and we tend to stick to the warmer or
darker colors in the winter and the cool or pastel lighter
colors in the summer. Well Diva’s times have changed and
Bad Bold lips are now the BOMB!
If you are stuck in a rut with your lip color or make up
regime, at a bright bold lip!
Some of the popular colors this summer season are the
tangerines, poppies, multiple fuchsias, numerous shades of
pink and the all time favorite brassy reds.
Bold lips colors come tend to come in the highly pigment-
ed matte lipstick for a dramatic effect. As a make up artist
I prefer the lipstick form for better control in applying the
product. Here are my favorite brands of Bold Lip Colors
that I use and recommend:
1) Ka oir lip colors: My two favorites that I use are: RA-
QUEL which is a pretty purple and GORGOUS which is
a sexy fire red. The Ka oir line is a very highly pigmented
lip color and true to color as well. The product is very rich
and lasts long. Sometimes I add a touch of lip-gloss to
give it that extra pop. For a real dramatic effect I add the
matching Glizts on top.
2) Inglot Lip Color: # 149, which is a pretty pink and #
202 of the Pacific Blues Collection. I LOVE IT. I just add a
little lip-gloss to add some shine. The Inglot line of lip col-
ors gives full rich color and this is also a highly pigmented
product.
3) Obsessive Compulsive Lip Tar called HOOCHIE. This
is a vibrant Magenta that is so so so hot. The lip tar collec-
tion is over the top pigmented so a little goes a long long
way. When applying this product you can only use a small
dot that will give you full lip coverage top and bottom.

When applying these products don’t forget to do the fol-
lowing:
a) Use a lip primer but very little. I suggest The Color Box
By Maria Lip and Eye Primer.
b)
If the lip color is a Bold Red. Please use a lip liner.
Red Lip color is one that tends to bleed. You don’t want to
have bold lip color under your lips.
c) For the best application technique. Use a lip bush. This
way you have better control over the product when apply-
ing to your lips. I have several retractable lip brushes that I
carry at all times.
d) If you don’t apply glitter dust on top of your bold color
here is a tip. Apply a light layer of color, apply a little trans-
lucent powder, and apply a second coat and just a touch of
lip-gloss for a little shine.
