Top 5 lipsticks

These are my top 5 favourite lipsticks atm

First one I'm going to start off whit is the bourjois rouge edition velvet in the colour 07 Nude-ist. I have a love\hate relationship whit these lipsticks, i have heard so much amazing things about them on youtube and they have been massively hyped up so i went out and bought myself 3 of them from boots. The price is around 70 kr which is not too bad. The 3 colours i got was peach club, nud-ist and grand-cru.

The one i was most excited about was grand cru, but i found it difficult to blend, so most disappointed whit that one. Peach club is a really nice colour and it last for ages and easy to blend, but not one of my top 5. But... nude-ist is such a lovely colour, its a dark nude colour, it has a mat finish and stays on all day so you don't have to keep reapplying. It is also one of those lipsticks you can easily apply whiteout a mirror. I might give the rest of the range a go just because I'm a sucker for mat lipsticks, hopefully i find out what the hype is about. 

Next on the list, you might have noticed i keep saying top 5 but you counted 6 in the photo? thats because the two mat lipsticks I'm going to mention now its two lipsticks i always use together, its my go to lipsticks for everyday use. The first colour i apply is a rimmel lipstick from their Kate moss collection called 03 rossetto. its a matt finish lipstick whit a slight brown colour to it which i find does not suit my skin colour just on its own, so the one i use over that again is a sheer lipstick whit a pink shine to it called 820 pink cognito from revolts super lustrous range. With this colour on top, it creates the perfect mat lip that suits me and my skin tone for every day use. these two lipsticks where around 70 kr 

My favourite lipsticks of all time is from Lush, these cost around 120 kr. My two favourites its the hot pink one whit a metallic sheen to it called passionate and the ultimate red  called ambition. The texture of this lipstick is amazing, it glides on so easily, with a brush that makes it easy to stay inside the lines. Its a super long lasting, you can eat and drink and that lipstick won't budge. What i love most about this pink is that it has a lovely metallic shine to it even after application which i have never seen before and the formula does not dry your lips out at all. Ambition has also a slight metallic sheen to it but in this one u can't really see it after you apply it to your lips, after application this deep red has more of a mat finish to it, its the ultimate red which every girl needs in her makeup collection. 

My last lipstick is mac rebel which cost me 130 kr, i usually don't go for expensive lipsticks like this but i thought i should treat my self after drooling after that lipstick for 6 months. What i love about this lipstick is how versatile it is, you can build it up, if u dap it slightly on to your lips it works as a lip tint, put on a bit more it turns in to a lovely light plum colour, layer it more u get a amazing dark vampy colour which is perfect for autumn.

Prepping your lips

Its always important to prep your lips before applying lipstick, especially if u want it to be long lasting. If you are going for a mat lipstick that can be a bit drying for the lips its important to use an sugar exfoliant on the lips to get off excess skin and moisturise afterwords whit a lip balm and leave it for a bit while you finish the rest of your makeup so it can sink in. Before applying it you should also use a lip primer, this will have the effect that makes the lipstick stay on longer and the colour will not be affected by your natural lip colour which can usually happen if you have dark lips. If you are going for a darker lip i would suggest to use a lipliner, this will keep the lipstick in place so it doesn't start bleeding out during the day. After applying your lipstick you should finish off whit a lip coat to seal it. Put one coat on, let it dry then push your lips against some paper and then apply another coat. If you follow these steps i guarantee you the lipstick will stay on much longer.
