Step 1
Opt for lip gloss rather than lipstick when possible. Lip gloss comes in a variety of shades, and even a quick coat of clear lip gloss will enhance your natural lip coloring.
-
Step 2
Avoid bright and dark lipstick colors during the daytime. Colors like bright red are too powerful to wear during the daylight hours. This recommendation also applies to lip liner colors.
-
Step 3
Go for a moist look. Long-wearing lipstick is usually more drying. This dry or matte look is more noticeable during the daytime. Instead, pick a moisture-formulation and reapply it as often as necessary throughout the day.
-
Step 4
Wear makeup in a way that makes it look like you're not wearing any makeup. This is the ultimate goal of daytime makeup, and your color choice is important in achieving this goal.
-
Step 5
Use lip liner in the daytime only if you need it to make your lips or mouth appear larger.
-
Step 6
Think about your blush color as well when picking your shade of daytime lip color. The colors on your lips and cheeks should enhance each other.
-
Step 7
Pay attention to your daytime environment. Your lip color will look different in direct sunlight than it will in an office environment with artificial lighting. Your lip color choice will depend on where you spend the majority of your daytime hours.
