Guide to Best Lip Products | Prép Beauty Parlour

Ah yes- Liquid lipsticks, the hottest trend for the Beauty Bloggers of Instagram and Youtube! Ever since Jeffree Star, Kat Von D., and Kylie came out with liquid lipsticks, everyone has been dying to have the entire collection! Like lipsticks, liquid lipsticks can come in a variety of finishes. Matte (Jeffree Star’s Celebrity Skin is on Prép’s top hot list!), shiny, and sheen. After you’ve applied a coat of colour, it should be smooth, not drying, and lightweight- you shouldn’t even feel it. However, different lipsticks work differently for everyone. Prép artists recommend you apply a thin layer of lip balm or your favourite chapstick before applying a coat of matte liquid lipstick or paint. Experience trial and error to see how much pressure to use when applying as the results can get patchy! Long lasting and so many fun colours and finishes, all in a pretty little tube! Our favourites right now are by Too Faced & Dose of Colour!
 For all compulsive make-up hoarders, we all started with one thing. Lip Smackers. The kind that not only came in your favourite soda drink flavour, but also came in your favourite Troll doll colours. So what is it about lip gloss thats so fun to apply? Well for starters, usually, they come out clear and smell of like you just cracked open a watermelon. Second, who doesn’t applying lip gloss with the doe-foot applicator? Slide, glide, done. The cons? Lip gloss tends to wear off a on faster than other lippies, it can also be very sticky if it the formula is not top quality (Hair tastes great, am I right?) Glosses also tend to be either patchy, or require an abundance of re-applications when you eat all of it. Struggles! However, the colours always reflect the picture-perfect sheen, causing us make-up lovers to have to carry 1, er, 4, in our bag every day!Now- everybody’s (or we hope’s) essential! The original lippy- lipsticks! At Prép some of our favourite brands and sworn by every Prép Make- Up Artist to be art of perfection consists of MAC, Tom Ford, and of course, Charlotte Tilbury. Why? Because the lipstick formula is not only smooth, but creamy, and glides on easily with the sweep of your perfectly manicured hand. Just how lipsticks are supposed to be! Plus- unlike lip glosses or chubby sticks, there are of finishes that you can get from lip sticks! Whether that be satin- shiny but not over the top, matte- goes hand in hand with a bold eye! Or shiny- our personal favourite, sultry yet casual! The perfect lipstick should be conditioning and should melt into your lips without the added grease What’s your favourite?

Lipliners are like the building blocks in the art of lip makeup. If done with precision and perfectly, one can create an illusion of a larger top or bottom lip without the use of fillers or botox. Using the perfect shade of ‘nude’ or ‘my lips but better’ —Prép make- up artists recommend Mac or Make Up Forever for this treacherous task. You always want to aim for the smoothest gliding lip product since the skin your lip is so delicate and thin. If enlarging your lips is not one of your goals, try lining your lips by using a lip liner similar to your lip stick to ensure long lasting, all night wear. Remember to sharpen tha pencil to prevent painful scratches!
