Reddit mentions: The best lip makeup brushes

Hey there! I love wearing bold colors, but I agree with you that sometimes they don't match my skin tone. I usually cover up the top over with a lip creme that works well with my skin tone. Here's what I do:

1. Apply lip primer before you start. Here's one that I love using--I usually don't like using lip liners for some reason. Either they're too hard (sharp?) or they don't work very well.
   
   
2. Use a flat round-tipped brush like this one to apply your lipstick. I have all my lipsticks repotted into flat metal pans but you can also just pick up the lipstick from its original stick container with the brush and apply it onto your lips that way. I usually start with a bright color (like magenta) and then blend it with a muted color (like mauve/brown) to add dimension to my lips. I cover my entire lips thinly for every layer.
   
   
3. If you're not happy with the color, add a different color to change the tone. Sometimes I do 2-3 layers of lipstick (very thin layers) and then cover with a matte lip cream. My favorite one is Meet Matte Hughes in Committed. I also use my lip brush to apply the cream/liquid lipstick.
   
   
4. This step is very important if you want the refined look: Take your liquid foundation, squirt a very small amount onto your palm or finger. Then take your beauty blender or small brush and dip the pointy end into it. Use this on just the outside of your lips to cover up any mistakes. This creates a sharper edge between your lip color and your face. You can smooth out the foundation by going away from your lips. Be careful not to go overboard at this step or you'll make your lipstick look smaller than your lips. If that happens you can just use the lip brush to fix it.
   
   
5. To set your lipstick, you can cover your lips with a tissue and brush on face powder with a big, fluffy brush to blend it better with your face. Usually if I wear the Meet Matte Hughes brand, I don't have to do this step because it "finishes" the look already.
   
   Hope this helps. Have fun!
   

Omg! Such a cute kitty :) I really like the name Desdemona from Shakespeare's Othello, which isn't a book, but it is a play! You could call her Mona, for short :) I wasn't the biggest fan of the character Desdemona in the play, but I think the name is awesome, haha. Good luck with your new little girl!!

edit: these lip brushes

I hope this doesn't seem like a cop-out, but I don't know what it is yet! I have Chocolate Bar and am planning on getting a new palette SOON, either Lorac Pro or Pro 2 (or something else, I'm not 100% sure yet). So whatever my fall color will be will be on my new palette, whatever that is.

Speaking of, I have my eye on pretty much all of the Sleek palettes, though I don't know how work appropriate they would be...but I especially like these:

Okay, that's several things and not all palettes but I'd be tickled to get any of them.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I think it's neat we found each other on here again; I just hope I can be more active these days.

Domo Pattern
Yarn

I'm not a yarnasaurus rex but one day I hope to be! I loved seeing all the fun patterns! Thanks for hosting!

> I filled each 15mm pan with 2 blister packs so 2xBacktalk, 2xZz etc.

This is exactly what I came here to ask, since I have two sample packs as well. Thank you for the great idea!

>Now I need some help to find a good mini lip brush!?

The mini brushes I get in Laura Mercier palettes look like they would fit. You could also try these disposable doe foot wands which would be handy if you could stick 2-3 in at a time and don't have to worry about color contamination on the go.

I have been needing a new lippie brush, and this one from real techniques looks really good. :) This is a sweet contest. :D

I have this one: http://www.amazon.com/Revlon-Covered-Lip-Brush-Premium/dp/B004JZT328

It's pretty small with the cap on :)
