    Question colours for big lips

    Hey guys,
    I have big lips, which is great for makeup but im not too sure how i can apply without it looking too over the top.
    I wear plain gloss but i want more.
    What colours would be better and less overpowering?
    Thanks
    p.s i also thought i should mention my skin is very fair.

    I suggest you use some shades of gloss and/or lipstick that complement the natural color of your lips. A medium pink shade would look nice. Definitely not that fluorescent bubblegum pink though! I'd also try to stay away from red because it will wash out your pale skin. Just stick with some natural colors. Perhaps some deep cream colors will look nice as well. They may sound boring but you'd be surprised!

    I have big lips too so I know what you mean! However have you tried?

    Napoleon Perdis/ Lip Lacquer/ Crystal Pink?
    Napoleon Perdis/ Devine Goddess Lipstick/ Hess?
    Napoleon Perdis/ Lip Lacquer/Baby Lips?

    Also if you will find that neutrals will suit you best [Depending on your hair colour and the clothes you normally wear]

    So if you use a soft Cameo colour lip liner and softly line the outside of your lips then smudge it inward with your finger or q-tip. Then apply a soft pink like Crystal pink over the top! The colour is sensational and natural

    I hoped I helped you out a bit

    Rimmel makes a great selection of lip liners, I use Exaggerate Lip Liner in Eastend Snob. It's not too vibrant but if you can find a good mtaching color it can make a nice slightly more intense color of your own lips. I usually fill in my lips with that color (I know its a lip liner, not a lip crayon haha) and then put Smashbox clear shiny lipgloss in Crystal on top.

    I have big lips too, but you know what, i just wear any colour in moderation but i tend to lean towards darker colours sometimes, but you just wear what you feel is right

    NUDE NUDE NUDE...nude will keep the lips looking fresh and natural but keep them looking soft so theyre not too noticable but large lips are great they can be played with alot
