How do I make my lip color intense?

The secret to making that lip color show up more is to blot concealer on your lips before applying the lip color.
Sometimes your natural lip color changes the color of product you add to your lip so you need to cancel your natural lip color out.
Then go ahead and add a lip primer to give your lips a smoother finish.
Pick your lipstick put it on and your good to go!

By Carly Cardellino, Cosmopolitan.com

We get it, acne totally sucks—especially when you're an adult. But the next time you wake up to a new-found zit, don't freak. Instead, put one of these blemish-blasting products to the test, so you can face the day with confidence—and a clearer complexion.

Blot and Run

Patting your T-zone with blotting paper is the easiest way to absorb excess oil on the fly. These super-colorful ones from NYX Cosmetics Blotting Papers, $6 each, nyxcosmetics.com, not only rid your skin of unwanted sheen, but they also help treat your trouble spots, too.
The Blemish Control Blotting Papers (shown here in purple) contain salicylic acid to help treat existing pimples, while the Tea Tree Oil-infused sheets (pictured in peach) work to prevent future zits.

<><> <><> <><> <><> <><> Courtesy of Clearasil <> <> Smart Sudser Overwashing often leads to dehydrated skin, which prompts your body to produce more oil, causing more breakouts—and nobody wants that. This uber-chic cleansing system, Clearasil PerfectaWash, $14.99, doles out the proper dosage of the two percent salicylic acid face wash to make sure you don't use too much and dry out your skin. Simply hold your hand under the no-touch dispenser and lather up!

Courtesy of Bioré Turn Up The Heat Once a week it's good to swap out your regular cleanser for one that offers up a deep cleaning; this helps unclog blocked pores, which are the culprit of most blemishes. Look for one that draws out impurities (dirt, oil, bacteria), like Bioré Warming Anti-Blackhead Cream Cleanser, $6.45. It uses zeolite, a mineral clay that warms on contact with water to help loosen up tight pores, allowing dirt, oil, and bacteria to be cleared out. The salicylic acid it contains helps to fight future breakouts by dissolving oil on skin.

Courtesy of Neutrogena Go Under Cover Concealer is often your best friend when you have a pesky pimple, but it's important to remember to treat the area with salicylic acid before applying makeup to keep it from exacerbating the issue. Neutrogena SkinCearing Blemish Concealer, $8.43, allows you to do both at the same time, thanks to the salicylic acid it contains. Genius!

Courtesy of L'Oréal Paris Ex(foliation) Marks The Spot Daily exfoliation is key when it comes to clear skin. But to avoid over-scrubbing (which can also trigger your skin to react and flare up) it's best to use a mild formula that contains two percent salicylic acid paired with a physical exfoliator, like a washcloth, facial brush, etc. L'Oréal Paris Go 360º Clean Anti-Breakout Facial Cleanser, $6.99, lorealparisusa.com, comes equipped with its own tiny facial massager (a Scrublet as they call it), which helps sloughs off dead skin cells that can block your pores and result in an unsightly zit.

Courtesy of Yes To Tomatoes Wipe Out If your skin has more oil than an Exxon station, reach for a product to help control how much your complexion is churning out. Yes To Tomatoes Blemish Clearing Facial Towelettes, $7.99, yestocarrots.com, contain lycopene, which contains anti-inflammatory properties to help calm redness, while salicylic acid works to minimize sebum (aka oil) secretion. Plus, whether or not you're acne-prone, it's never good to go to bed with makeup on, so swipe your skin clean with one of these!

Courtesy of Dr. Schultz Smooth Operator Pimples don't stand a chance when salicylic, glycolic, phytic, and lactic acids unite. The four ingredients work together to exfoliate, lighten past acne marks, and hydrate skin, helping to heal your current blemish and prevent new ones from forming. This quadruple threat is found in Beauty Rx Skincare by Dr. Schultz Advanced Exfoliating Therapy Pads, $70 for 50 pads, beautyrx.com, which are best for normal, combination, and oily skin. Doctor's orders: On alternating nights, swipe pad over your face after you've cleansed, avoiding eyes and lips. For the first two weeks of use, rinse off thoroughly with water after 15 minutes; from there on, leave the solution on overnight. Lastly,say buh-bye to blemishes!
