Make Your Teeth Look Whiter

Make Your Teeth Look WhiterIf you have caps or you have super-sensitive teeth or for some other reason teeth whitening isn't an option for you, you still can make your teeth look whiter with makeup. The right lip colour and some skin-tone enhancement will do the trick. Here's how to give your smile new and enhancing look.

A sun-kissed complexion is an easy way to make teeth look whiter. Brush on a bronzer if your skin is looking sallow, but avoid ones with gold sparkle, which can enhance yellow. Certain lip colors can also brighten your smile. Look for reds, berries, and pinks that have cool undertones. If your gloss has shimmer, make sure it's silver, not gold.

If you have grayish teeth, avoid red lipsticks with blue tones and instead try a cooler tone with a brown base. Nude pinks with an almost brownish hue are best. If you have a yellow or off-white tone to your teeth, avoid deep, dark and bright shades, as well as super-shiny glosses. Instead, try nude shades or pinks that have bluish undertones.

If you're going to invest money and time in professional teeth whitening procedures and products don't forget that white teeth are attractive, but if the teeth overwhelm the face by their whiteness, then the teeth probably have been overdone. Generally, the whiteness of the teeth should compliment the face, look natural, and be about the same shade as the whites of the eyes.
