HOW TO : USE LIPSTICK AS YOUR CREAM BLUSH!

Its an oldie but a goodie. Using lipstick as a cream (creme) blush might be dated but who cares as long as it works. Using one product to do multiply things is great because it saves space and it certainly saves money. Does that mean i don't own any cream (creme) blushes? Of course not - i'm a makeup artist - i own loads :) But i reach for lipstick more often than anything else. It takes up no more room in my kit (bonus) plus the wax's in the lipstick melt and blend in beautifully with the foundation i use (cream or airbrush). The real bonus though is that you can buy lipsticks ranging from £1 right up to £30. Its up to you and can fit most budgets. Oh and you want matte - yet a matte lipstick. What shimmer? Ger a shimmer lipstick? Etc... you have a massive choice :) Also, women of colour have a hard time finding colours that have enough pigment in them to show up. With lipsticks its much easier because you can get some amazing vivid colours. Here are a list of lipsticks i really love and the sties you can get them from. www.maccosmetics.com www.love-makeup.co.uk (they sell NYX, LIMECRIME, KRYOLAN etc... - love her! - say i said hi!) www.inglotcosmetics.com www.makeupforever.com MUA in superdrug do an AMAZING lipsticks for £1. I know ... £1 The point is - use what you have. You don't have to BUY BUY BUY everything that is new. Sometimes its the old classics that work and continue to work - just like that damp sponge. Lipstick for blush? Crazy! But it works... and i love ...
