We’re not making it up - make-up can help keep your smile looking whiter! Whitening treatments last for up to two years, but the right make-up can offer a great way to enhance the results for longer.
It’s all about knowing your colours and selecting shades that will contrast well and make your smile appear whiter, whether you’ve had whitening done or not. Check it out!
Go For Cool Tones
Lipstick with blue undertones, to be precise. Don’t worry, you won’t be walking around like the alien star of some sci-fi drama (unless of course you want to).
It’s all about the way different colours complement one another. If you go for warm-toned lipsticks such as those with an orange, yellow or gold base, your teeth may appear more yellow. But if you play the game properly, you’ll go for a cool-toned shade, such as cherry or fuschia.
Don’t forget this rule when it comes to blush! You can try out a few to find the best for your skin tone.
Add A Little Sparkle
You can do sparkle and still stay subtle!
Glittery lip glosses in blue tones are super shiny and can actually make your smile look the same.
A Dramatic Eye
Sometimes nothing seems to work, so why not cause a distraction with your eyes instead?
It goes without saying now that you’ll want to work with those cooler tones, so you can work them into a classic smokey eye. Navy shades offer a really flattering alternative to harsher greys and black, and as a bonus, the contrast will make your eyes look brighter as well!
While golds have their place and look beautiful, they’re not the right choice when you want your teeth to look whiter.
Whiten Your Smile
Rather than creating the illusion of whiter teeth, you can actually whiten them instead!
If your brushing (and make-up) routine simply doesn’t cut it, pop in for a quick and easy 3D scan at a smilogy scanning location near you to get started.
