Question:
Concealer on lips!!
Hi there, I have fairly large lips (think angelina jolie)! Gets me down as would often love to have dainty features! Anyhow, I am obsessed with puttin concealer on my lips before applying lip products, anyone else have this obsession?!! I have been told that this only makes your lips appear fuller, but i cant help it. My lips are quite pigmented as well, so i have to do this to get the true colour from my glosses! I feel this is the only way to get that natural pinky/nude colour you often see in mags as my lips are naturally red and applying my gloss straight onto natural lips i feel would just look awful. My friends all find it amusing but I dont feel "polished" without doin this! Just thought I'd see if any of you guys do this!?

Yes I do this too! I use the concealer as a 'base' for my lipstick, by doing this I find that I can define the outline of my lips with a lipliner with more precision. The lipstick also goes on better and stays on for longer. If I put lipstick directly on my lips the colour doesn't look 'right' as I have darker pigmented lips and find that applying it over the concealer brings out the true colour of the lipstick. I only started doing this when I ran out of the Guerlain liplift I was using years ago, which is a lip base and looks like a concealer - and kind of substituted it with my concealer, it worked for me and have been using concealer instead ever since!!
