The Simple Trick To Keep Lipstick Off Your Teeth

BellaSugar — Mon, 30 Jul 2007 23:55:20 PDT

Quick, alert Buffy and Giles! Looks like there's a possible blonde vampire on the loose, with suspicious red marks on her teeth and a habit of going out every single night-

Oh, wait. It's just Paris Hilton with lipstick on her teeth. The socialite has been using brighter lip colors than usual, but it looks like she's still figuring out how to keep the lipstick from migrating. It happens to everyone, I guess.

Fortunately, there's a very easy way to avoid this awkwardness, and I use it whenever I wear red lipstick. After applying the lipstick, wash your hands and put your index finger directly into your mouth. Close your mouth around it, and pull out your finger. Doing so transfers the excess color to your finger, not your teeth. Of course, it doesn't hurt to check in the mirror before going out, but this simple move should do the trick!

Tooth "Tattoos" Make a Fashion Statement in Japan

Miriam Lacey — Thu, 11 Aug 2011 10:49:23 PDT

Temporary decals for teeth have been around for a few years now, but leave it to the always avant-garde Japanese fashion industry to make them chic. A recent spread in Ginza magazine shows off cute tooth decals and suggests that fashionistas are matching their nail art with their tooth art, and even their nail shape to their tooth shape. Fashion-forward young women are also matching their lipstick to their tooth decals and designing whole coordinating outfits around the look, whether they're wearing a ladybug decal to a picnic or a little blue anchor to the beach.

Tooth decals from brands like ToothArt already exist here in the US, but they've just never caught on as a high-fashion item. If the haute young ladies of Tokyo have any say, however, they may well become a new thing. Given that grills have enjoyed lasting popularity on our side of the Pacific, it might not be that odd to see tooth decals become a cool accessory, too.

OnSugar Blog — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 07:00:00 PDT

Here's an excerpt from a colorfully fun post by OnSugar blog Queen of the Quarter Life Crisis:

So welcome to my new series - Inspired By. The first edition? Katy Perry's "California Gurls." After watching the music video, I'm still a little confused as to what a cupcake bikini has to do with California, but nevertheless, it's cute and fun. . . just like California. Here's my roundup:

Pacifica Malibu Lemon Blossom Solid Perfume - This 100% vegan (so LA) solid perfume is an ode to the SoCal sun. Its scent has a lemony hint but not overpowering, like Pledge.
Benefit California Kissin' Lip Shine - Fact: LA is the land of the perfect smile. This lip product combines sexy shine with West Coast cool. The aqua blue sheen actually makes teeth appear whiter and it can be worn alone or with your favorite lipstick or gloss.
h.wood Ruby Lip Shine Pot - What's more Hollywood glam than red lips? This little lip pot is packed with powerful ingredients like jojoba oil, cocoa butter, and shea butter to help you get the perfect Hollywood pout.

Be sure to read the rest of Quarter Life's Cali girl suggestions, and when you're through, why not start an OnSugar blog of your own? You could be the next blogger featured on Bella!
