Alako Rescue: Vampy Lips

Hey guys, howyoodoin? (in wendy's voice)

As you know, I am here to make you happy. So I have decided to be doing a weekly post called 'Alako Rescue'. It is basically going to be me giving beauty tips/secrets that would help us apply makeup better and also maximize our products.

Today's post is about achieving a vampy lip without making use of a vampy lip colour. I know there have been times when I would see a particular lipstick and wished I had that colour especially those vampy lip colors. This is a DIY vampy look tip for those who have had similar experiences.

Direction: Apply a dark brown lip pencil all over the lips and then apply lipstick of choice on it, then smack! smack! smack! Easybreezy:D

                                                  brown pencil all over the lips

                                           after applying a tomato red lipstick on it

                                          after I applied my very light purple lippie

The key to achieving any of the vampy lip colors is to determine how vampy you want your lip color to look like and that would help to determine how much lip pencil and lipstick you should apply.

                                           " blue never hurt nobody"

The vampy lips are quite easy to achieve. Please try it out and let me know if you have any questions in the comment section. And oh......you are welcome :D

I Love You for visiting my blog today,
xoxo,
Ifealako.
