BDJ Box Global Glam: “Easy, Breezy, Beautiful with Covergirl” with Nikita Conwi

I honestly enjoyed the “Easy, Breezy, Beautiful with Covergirl” talk with the pretty and bubbly, Ms. Nikita Conwi. It was really fun and very informative. She discussed about everything we need to know about lip make-up. Since our lips are the highlight of our make-up, it is a must to know the right shade to wear. Our lip shade must complement our face and skin. Who wants to be stared because your lips look odd on you rather than stunning anyway?

So I’m sharing with you the tips and tricks I learned from the talk J

FULL LIPS vs. THIN LIPS

We either have thin or full lips. It’s not a bad thing though. But lucky you if you are a bella with full lips, because you can wear anything. Whether it is creamy, matte, glossy… whatever you feel like wearing! As for the bellas who have thin lips, don’t worry, because you can use light-colored creamy lipsticks plus lip gloss to make your lips look fuller.

CHAPPED LIPS

Now to deal with chapped lips… The best and the natural way to prevent chapped lips is to be hydrated with lots of water. Remember to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. Aside from that, Shea Butter is also of big help. Good thing Covergirl lipsticks contain Shea Butter! Also, applying Shea Scrub at night, then leaving a lip balm overnight not just prevent chapped lips, it also smoothen your lips, making it luscious and even more kissable!

PERFECT SHADE

Take note that lipstick shades should be two tones lighter or darker than your skin tone. The darker your skin tone, the darker the lip shade you must use.

If you are a bella who feels ‘prettier in pink’ shades, the tip is to smile J Smile and check your lip shade and gums. The shade of your lipstick must somewhat have the same color or at least near with the color of your gums.

To make your teeth to look instantly whiter, use any lipstick with blue shade. These shades come from the plum family.

KNOW YOUR COLOR and BE COLORLICIOUS:

·         RED

1.       A classic red lipstick should not be too warm and too light

2.       You will know if a red shade is too light when it becomes bluish when you wear it

3.       You will know if it is too warm when it hints an orange tone

·         NUDE

1.       The perfect nude shade for you should not be the same shade as your skin

2.       Smudge a small amount of testers onto your hand and check it against your complexion

3.       The right shade is always one or two tones lighter or darker than your skin

TRICKS:

Get that perfect red lipstick by first applying your red lipstick like you normally would, covering your entire lips. Then, dub a darker plum shade towards your pout area.

To make your lipstick last longer, you only need two things: tissue and powder. Place the tissue on top of your lips and dab a little amount of loose powder. That easy! J

I was kinda bitin with Ms. Nikita’s talk because I still want to learn more and even ask questions about lip shades and applying lipsticks. But since the only allotted time per talk is 45 minutes, she had to wrap things up quick. At the end of the talk, she gave away Covergirl lipsticks, pouches and lollipops to bellas who were able to answer her questions. How envious I am! L If only I was seated at the front, I will immediately run to the stage even if she hasn’t finished her question yet. LOL. So for bellas who will be attending BDJ talks in the future, secure your seats at the front if you want to win freebies and other exciting items *wink*.

And as for the bellas who have questions and inquiries about Covergirl lipsticks and their other products, you may contact them directly through Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/COVERGIRLPH) or Instagram (https://instagram.com/covergirlph/).

I hope you learned a lot, like I did J
