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
