Lipstick Colors to Brighten Your Teeth
Everyone wants a bright, crisp smile, and using the right lipstick color can help your smile appear whiter and more radiant! Here are a few tips to picking the right shade:
Avoid colors with gold, yellow or orange undertones
For the perfect bright red, opt for shades for blue undertones, such as cherry red or a blue-toned plum color
If you have a warmer skin tone, choose a bright pink shade to make your teeth ‘pop’.
For the perfect neutral, everyday nude, ditch the brown or peach colored lips and try a nude that has a pink tone.
The darker the color, the more yellow your teeth will appear
If bright colors aren’t your thing, a simple lip gloss will do the trick
How to Keep Lipstick From Getting On Your Teeth
There are few things more embarrassing than getting home at the end of the day or looking at a photo of yourself and realizing you’ve had lipstick on your teeth.! We’ve got a few easy steps to ensure your grin stays color-free, even in the summer heat.
Step 1: Line your lips
Apply a lip liner along the edges of your lips.
Step 2: Fill your lips with a liner
Next, use the lip liner to fill in your lips. This helps stick your lipstick color to your lips without smudging it.
Step 3: Apply lipstick
Choose your favorite lipstick, and apply it straight from the tube or use a lip brush!
Step 4: Do the “O” check
You can make sure that any excess lipstick is removed by creating an “O” with your lips and wiping your fingers along the inner and outer edges of your mouth. All of the extra color waiting to stick to your teeth will be gone! Just be sure to wash your hands after.
Step 5: Smile wide!
After applying, be sure to do a double-take in the mirror. You’ll be smear-free and ready for your day in no time!
