Pursue a Perfect Pout

Written by Alexis

For the perfect pucker-worthy pout this summer, look no further than my newest obsession: Cosmoholic Liquid Lipstick. Constantly frustrated with having to use both a lipstick and a gloss in order to achieve her desired look, makeup industry vet and Cosmoholic Cosmetics founder Jody Cohen finally found the solution: liquid lipstick, a single product that goes on smoothly and shiny like lip gloss, but has the deep pigment of a lipstick. Trust me, this incredible lip gloss-stick combo will put all your other lip-tints to shame.

Even better, though, than finding a great new product (I know what you’re thinking: what could be better?!), is finding the perfect product in a shade that works for you. This season, that means we are all in desperate pursuit of a radiant red that suits our complexion. Yet again, Jody has the answer. To find the right red for you, Jody says to look at the vein color on the inside of your wrist. If they’re bluish, stick with reds with a blue or pink undertone. If yours are more greenish, pick a red with an orange undertone or a brick shade. In between, either should work for you lucky ones.

So outline your lips with a flesh tone lip liner, (fill them in with lip liner or concealer to make the color last even longer,) then apply one coat of Liquid Lipstick in the shade that suits you, rub your lips together a few times, and reapply a second coat. The result is sure to be long-lasting, luscious, and lickable.
