This is a delicious lip day as I'm going to cover my favorite O.C.C. Liptar, the gorgeous and stunning NSFW, a "true balanced red" quoting Obessive Compulsive Cosmetics' own description of the color.
If you don't know what O.C.C. Obesseive Complusive Cosmetics Liptars are, check out my post here for all the details. The liquid lip colors come in a squeeze tube so you will need a lip
brush to apply the product. You can use your finger too if you have good
precision working with your hands. Liptars do not contain tar. It's just a name.
Before starting, keep in mind whether you're using a brush or your finger, try your best not to get product
outside the lines of your lips. Liptars are highly pigmentated so
they will stain. The brighter/darker the shade, the messier it
gets when you try to wipe it off!
NSFW swatch amongst the other brights I have.
Prep your lips by applying a lip balm for moisture, then line and fill your lips with a good lip liner. I use Make Up Forever's Aqua
Lip in 1C light neutral beige. A lip liner will prevent feathering and your lip color will last longer. Then squeeze out tiny (about 4-5 pin-sized drops) bit of NSFW onto a lip brush or finger, apply on lips and even out. Apply a second layer of NSFW if it's not opaque enough. Liptars go on glossy but dries matte or, semi-matte if you have a lip balm underneath.
The
product holds up very well for about 6 hours even with eating and
drinking. Becareful of feathering after a meal. Bring some Q-tips for maintenance. At about 3-4 hours, you
will notice your lip starting to dry. I usually apply some more lip balm
and a thin layer of liptar on top to keep things looking fresh.
NSFW goes well with dramatic smoky eyes or a neutral look like the one I did above. I purposely did a natural, glowing look and added a simple twist with NSFW that transformed everything. This
balanced red turns out beautifully against most skin tones. It's a
classic shade that is hard to go wrong with. I am not a lip color person
but was completely sold after successfully and almost effortlessly
turning my lips into center-of-attention bombshell gorgeous.
