What are the best colours for thick lips, taking complexion into considertion as well?

I use lip gloss all the time but I'll be 21 soon and I want to try matured make up.

Thank you. You have been very useful.

Love all the tips mohawkchic gave.

@Poster, your lips look great with lipgloss, why not try a strongly tinted lipgloss, Mac have some.

The problem is I live in Italy and they don't know jack about women of colour. I can't even find the right foundation for my skin. It's saddening. There are so many reasons to flee this country.

michelin89, Are you sure they do not have a good department store near your home/work.

Honestly you do not need to go the heavy duty make-up way, you look like you have good skin, forget Foundation for now, use tinted face cream, foundy can look so cakey on black skin light or dark. It's very hard to find the right match, but if you must, go online and get samples sent to you.

Lipgloss, mascara and your eyeliner will just enhance your look, to me that's all you need.

There are some stores in the nearby city but the last time I was there I was disappointed. But I heard of a new one they have just opened. I hope I'll be luckier this time.

Lipgloss, mascara and eyeliner are all I use coupled with a foundation. But when you don't wear the right colour you get the white effect in pictures.

That is what I call the the "cakey look"


Ok let me think back to the days I use to work in a department store and had to wear the full glam look, Fashion fair, Mac and one other brand.
You should go for the the Yellow based tones, NEVER EVER pink or the other tone they recommend for us black ppls. Have you tried prescriptive, they make up foundy for you, cost a bit more but could be the way to go for you.

Do not wear a real heavy lipstick, it will sit in the lines on your lip, not nice, just use a strong tinted lipgloss, benetints rubbish for us blacks, so go for a very good brand.

Good suggestions so far but experts, what can one do to discourage those little clogged pores around the lip when one uses lipsticks and lip liner? I had to stop using lip products because of that and just use good ol' vaseline and those things have gone. Maybe I will just be a vaseline girl for life

Hi, Have you tried an organic lipstick, maybe even "presciptive" might be fine for you. Try a sample size from ebay.

Do you use lipliner, maybe leave that off , they have too many funny ingredients to help them stay put on the lip, my mate wears that, it makes her lips look dry.

Use red or gray Lipstick, it
looks good on people with thick lips.

Hi hun, where can I get organic lipstick from? From what I know Prescriptive line is discontinued, Yes lipliners are horrible, when I used them they clogged my pores. I envy folks that can wear lip products with out problems

Hi baby, some time since I worked at "H" so did not know that about Prescriptive.

You can get organic lipstick from NATURISIMO, go online you will see they have a large range.

I only wear lipgloss "Bigelow", to be honest I only wear it because I think it must be good for your lips, I normally forget to put it on.

Yes they are discontinuing their line in Jan and me I hate buying and getting used to products that are going to be discontinued. Have you tried any lip products from NATURISMO? I like what I see so far from there. TBH vaseline has served me well but me sef I want to be glamorous too in 010

Ebonyeyes, I have the Green People range,   in pink unclothed/natural, it's very cheap but nice texture. I use it I am really going out, not glam but could be if I vamp it up. It comes in a few shades, a very nice berry red if you want to go super glam

Thanks hun, your a star

~Lip gloss suits you tho. . i happen to think Lipgloss on Fuller lips is flattering especially if you dont want to draw attention to your lips w/ bold colours. . still people w/ fuller lips are rocking bold lippy/colours that suits their skin tones or in some cases, dont suit them at all!!

~Hitting google in a mo to get you info on Types of lippys you cud experiment w/ till you find what suits you. . . & recommended colours for your skin tone. . .

are you sure about the lipgloss cause i found out a while ago that lipgloss draws more attention to the lips and if one has fuller lips they should avoid lipgloss. I guess it cause it shiny and draws a lot of attention.
I guess if its not too much then it ok, im not sure sha,

Actually I am very shy about using too much make up. These days I just use powder, eyeliner and mascara.

But I want to upgrade. I'll be 21 soon and I need to be more posh.

^^That's all you need, you have good skin and you look fresh,  you should not need the full works
     Foundation can make you look grey or ashy (not used in the street walker term) black skin can be hard to match foundation wise.
     Try tinted moisturiser, go for a non-greasy type.

     I don't now why but I hate the full make-up look

I guess it depends on how much makeup you'll like to wear. Some people prefer to look like they have makeup on, I prefer the natural look - Unclad colours.

I've been using Clinique for a while now and it's been really good. I use the perfectly real makeup line - foundation and powder. Eyeliner, mascara, eyeshadow (sometimes) and vaseline . . . hate lipstick/lip gloss. When I use lipstick, I use L'Oreal Linda Evengelista 809 Beige . . . it looks really natural.

I'm in a city, which has an insignificant black population and my guess is that almost wherever you are, you'll be able to find a clinique counter. A professional will find the right makeup to match your skin tone.

Applying lipstick like Angelina Jolie

Foundations – First, apply foundation to cover the edge of your upper lip that matches exactly your skin tone. This is important when it will come to applying lip liner, lipstick and other lip makeup on your lips.

Lip Liner – Secondly, apply a good quality lip liner in a way that it is a bit inside the outer edge of your lips to make the edge of your lips to appear as if they are not part of your lips.

Lipstick – If you want to wear a good lipstick, you can now apply without going beyond your lip liner. This is very important.

Lip Gloss – When using lip gloss on your lips, you should apply it only at the center of your lips and evenly spread it on your lips. Avoid applying lip gloss on your entire lips since it will only make them fuller and hence much thicker.
