Create Beautiful Lips With Tips From Mariah Carey's Makeup Artist

Beautiful lips can make for a beautiful look on any woman. That doesn’t necessarily mean bigger or plumper are always better. Sometimes it means having the right techniques on hand.

Belinda Moss is a celebrity makeup artist and celebrity beauty expert who has appeared on True Hollywood Makeup in the past.

She is a makeup artist to many stars, and among her famous clients:  Mariah Carey. Belinda’s work with Mariah is proof that artificially enhanced, plumped lips aren’t always necessary. Belinda does a fantastic job with bringing all of Mariah’s best attributes together in a way that is best for her.

Here is Belinda’s set of beautiful lips tips that you can use.

Cover:

An excellent, anti-feathering lip base is already in your bag…your concealer or liquid foundation; apply this facial make-up to the outside edge of the lips to help prevent the lip color from “bleeding” onto surrounding skin.

Balm Your Lips:

Apply a coat of Softlips® lip balm with SPF 20 to help condition your lips and protect them from sun damage. This product will soften and moisturize the lips without making them waxy or greasy for the top coat of lipstick or lip gloss.

Brush on Berry:

For maximum precision with a berry colored lipstick, use a lip brush to apply your lipstick neatly and evenly. For a sheerer berry look, look for a gloss with a hint of berry color and shimmer.

Not a Fan of Berry? Try Bronze Lip Colors:

Consider a more subtle shade, such as a metallic brownish lip tint, a rich color that complements all skin tones and accents your fall wardrobe. For sheer bronze lip color with a little shimmer, look for a Tinted Lip Balm in Bronze.

It’s perfect to wear alone for a little color or under your favorite bronze lip stick to add a little bit of shimmer. Apply some gloss for added shine.
