How-To: Pretty Pink Pastel Lips.


Here's how you can create this pretty pastel pink lip on your own.


1. Condition and line. Condition your lips first to help hydrate any cracked, dry spots. Then line your lips with a clear lip liner — this will keep the lip color you're about to apply from bleeding. Here, Lizzie Power, owner of Awoke Vintage, a clothing story in Brooklyn, applied No More Bleeding Lips along the perimeter of her mouth.

2. Fill in your lips with a pink lip liner. Lizzie used Estée Lauder Lip Pencil in "Pink Writer."

3. Create a chalky-pink lip color. Mix a peachy-pink lip color with a nude one to make an opaque shade. Here, Lizzie combined Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar in "Femme," a peachy-pink shade, with MAC Cosmetics Cream Color Base in "Nude."

4. Pump up the color. Press a hot pink blush, like NYX Cosmetics Powder Blush in "Matte Hot Pink," over your lips with a flat makeup brush to set the shade and give it a matte finish. 

5. Pat on some SPF and make your lips pop by applying concealer around your mouth. Lizzie used a zinc-based SPF, like Sun Bum Sunscreen, to give that opaque pastel finish to her lips, and then cleaned up the areas around her mouth with a concealer, like Clé de Peau Beauté Concealer, to make her lip color pop. 


And voilà! A gorgeous pale pink lip color that you can wear anywhere.
