00:00Straight from the pages of Essence Magazine, I'm Corinne Corbett, your beauty director.
00:04This is Beauty All Access.
00:09So ladies, we've talked about how to make your eyes sparkle for the holidays, but what about the lips?
00:15If great lip can make or break your look.
00:18I'm here with celebrity makeup artist Frank Guyton, and he's going to show us two hot looks that'll make your lips pop for the holidays.
00:26So let's get started.
00:27Well, I'm glad that you've invited me to come, and we have so much to go over.
00:32Just to let you know, it is a holiday season, and the lips that we're going to create are going to be able to take you from a day into night,
00:40which is always what women want to be able to do during the holiday season.
00:44So what we have is a beautiful lip palette by Black Opal, and it's called Tutti Frutti,
00:50which is what I love because it's very, I like to refer to it as a candy appearance kind of look.
00:56And the lips are such a sensual part of the face, and it's nice to play that up, and it's an attention-getter.
01:04So when you want to play down the eye and pop up the lip, Black Opal created a beautiful palette, again, Tutti Frutti,
01:10which you'll love, and it creates a beautiful array of color between corals all the way to very burgundy and beautiful, rich tones.
01:16Before you even go into applying your lip liner or lip gloss or lipstick, you want to exfoliate the lips
01:22because sometimes in the winter, your lips get dry and cracked.
01:25So what I really recommend to you is to take your toothbrush and brush your lips.
01:30Remove the dead skin.
01:31That way you create a very clean and very soft, supple lip to then apply your lip liner as well as your lip gloss.
01:38The way that you create a very dimensional lip is by taking your liner, which is very similar to the color of the lip gloss or lipstick that you're using,
01:47and for the Black Opal Tutti Frutti lip palette that we did, we used a corally red.
01:51So what I did is take a liner that was a little darker than that, and I went around the edges of the lip,
01:56which are very important to create a beautiful line and structure and shape for the lip.
02:02And then I took a reddish color and I put it all over the lip and took it right to the edges of where the liner was.
02:11That creates the second dimension.
02:13And the third dimension is just taking a really bright coral orange-y color and putting it right in the center of the lip
02:19and pouting it out and blending.
02:21Remember, blending is very important for all three steps, and that's how we create a beautiful corally red.
02:27I love it.
02:28I love it, especially because coral is a surprise, and many of us think we can't wear.
02:32A color like coral, but we can, as you can see.
02:34And especially during the holiday, it's nice to bump up the lip.
02:37Remember, ladies, when you play down the eyes, you can do whatever you want with the lips.
02:41It's free game at that point.
02:42Oh, fantastic.
02:44So let's go on to the second look and see what Frank has for us.
02:48Well, what's great about this wine color is that it's a really beautiful evening color.
02:52When you want to go into the night, I really recommend this color.
02:56And the color that we did before is a great daytime party.
02:59And then, you know, you're partying all night long throughout the holidays,
03:01so just change it up.
03:04And what I did is I took a chocolate-colored pencil, and I lined the outside of the natural lip line.
03:10And I kind of brought it in on the inner corners of the lip.
03:14And then I added a wine color.
03:16Two actually different wine colors.
03:18And who doesn't love wine and chocolate, right?
03:20That's already a great combination.
03:21Right, right, right.
03:22So what I did was I lined the lip, like I said, and then I added the wine color, which is the rich red and the black currant.
03:31And first I did the black currant because that was the darker of the two.
03:36And I did that on the outside of the lip.
03:38And then I put the red wine on the inside of the lip, so therefore it creates more of a dramatic look.
03:44Right.
03:45And we love the dramatic with the chocolate and the wine.
03:49Yeah, absolutely.
03:50Now, for those of us who wear lipstick or are afraid to wear lipstick, it's about getting lipstick on your teeth.
03:57How do you avoid that, Frank?
03:58Well, let me tell you, that is always a concern for women.
04:02Women, what I really suggest that you do is take your finger, your index finger, and just kiss it right there or kiss someone else.
04:10And that will help prevent the inside of the lip to bleed from onto the teeth.
04:15So, ladies, we have another holiday surprise, a great one.
04:19You have the opportunity to get that Black Opal Tutti Frutti Lip Palette.
