Steal This Look – Amanda Seyfried’s Mauve Lips

May 3rd // 5 Comments

I’m really loving the pinkish-nude shade that Amanda Seyfried has been wearing lately. It’s the perfect transition into spring shade… a little shimmery, a little pink and very, very feminine. Here’s how to get the look yourself (and make it last all day!):

Start with Motives Lip Crayon in Naked. Line your lips and then use the crayon to completely fill them in.

Then top it off with a shade like Motives Lip Shine in Candlelight to add the shimmer. You can reapply as needed throughout the day. But no matter how long you wait, your base color will last and last.

Enjoy!

Motives Beauty: Creating Pretty Stained Lips (it’s easier than you think!)

February 1st // 4 Comments

It’s the first day of February! Can you believe it? I was doing my makeup this morning and I realized that as the day speeds up I just end up completely forgetting about my face! Does that happen to anyone else? This is the exact reason why I love the look of berry-stained lips. Done properly, the deep, sexy effect can last till I go to bed (or beyond), with no touch-ups required. I stained my lips this morning and they are still looking good!

The technique: Apply a wine-toned lipstick – like Motives Rich Formula Lipstick in  Berry Sexy – blot with tissue, and repeat. You can add a touch of clear or pink gloss on top for bring it all to life. If the effect looks a little soft and imprecise (like you’ve just had a raspberry popsicle), so much the better :)
