Rock The Megawatt A/W Statement Lip!

Blank Canvas L29 Lip Brush 

Whether it's a big meeting or a hot date, popping lips get you noticed and are super-fashionable this Autumn too.  Plum lips, pink lips, and dark berry tones in vampy, megawatt colour defy the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness.  Rock the statement lip with the help of Blank Canvas L29 Lip Brush, a firm round brush with straight fibres, giving precise lip colour application. Pro Artist and Founder of Blank Canvas Brushes, Úna Tynan says:

 “To pull off the statement lip, make sure you keep the rest of your makeup look to an absolute minimum.  Balance any spotlight-stealing pout by simply teaming with flawlessly-applied foundation and subtle eye makeup.”

Blank Canvas Tips & Techniques for Creating Megawatt Lips:

1.    Exfoliate with a lip scrub, or using an old, soft toothbrush, gently massage lips in small, circular motions to remove dead skin build-up.

2.    Make sure your lips are well hydrated and prepped before applying any colour.

3.    To achieve intense colour, it’s best to apply colour with a lip brush like Blank Canvas L29, because you’ll get a cleaner, more precise finish around the lip line, than if you apply lipstick straight onto the lips.

4.    Begin by outlining your lips, but don’t over line, just enough to keep the look pretty.

5.    Gradually apply and blend in colour to the entire lip surface, using the precise pointed tip to define.  This will push pigment into the lips and help the colour stay put for longer.

6.    Concentrate on the cupids bow on lower lip.

7.    Dust with some translucent powder over the top. This will set your lip colour and add to that gorgeous matte finish.

8.    After applying final coat of colour, place a one-ply tissue to blot lips.

 I use this brush in my kit for lips on clients along with others from Real Techniques and Crown Brush, but the L29 from Blank Canvas Cosmetics is probably my favorite lip brush to use and the one I go for most! You can use this brush to apply lip stick or to blend lip liner. This brush is great for applying with precision which is why I probably like it so much!

The Blank Canvas Cosmetics L29 Lip Brush is available to purchase at www.blankcanvascosmetics.com and only €6.99 which is very affordable!
