Flossing, brushing and home whitening treatments are among the best ways to make your teeth look whiter and brighter, but believe it or not some clever makeup can also help amplify the whiteness of your smile.
But don't let something like bad breath spoil your perfect smile. We've put together some handy makeup tips to make your teeth look whiter-than-white and your smile smelling sweet.
1. Choose the right shade of lippy
Orange tones, such as peach, coral, and scarlet red, will only make stained teeth look more yellow; instead plump for a blue-based lipstick to make your teeth dazzle! Try cooler shades of pink, rose, mauve, plums, etc, which have blue undertones and generally avoid lipsticks with too much yellow in them! Try the Fake Bake Scream & Pout Colour Crave Smooth & Shine Lipstick in Pure Desire (Pink), £12
2. Re-think the nude lip trend
As above, caramel toned lip-glosses might be en vogue, but they’ll unfortunately emphasise any yellow marks on your teeth. Instead, pick a rosy pink or clear gloss to remain natural, but to keep teeth looking as white as possible.
3. Go easy on tanning
Everyone knows a California-girl tan will make your teeth look whiter, but if your tan is starting to look orange, the likelihood is your pearly-whites will
too. Go for a light bronzing gel on the face instead of full-on fake tan, as this will enhance your smile beautifully! The Fake Bake Beyond Bronze Mousse £15.99 www.fakebake.co.uk, Boots www.boots.com the superlight formula will dry in seconds and develop into a gorgeous golden bronze glow.
4. Pretty pastel eyes
Embracing pastel colours for eyes (such as cool-toned purple and greens) can really make your eyes pop, and your teeth appear whiter as a result! Pretty eyes can also divert attention from the mouth, so even if you do have a couple of stains, no one will ever know.
5. Wear bronzer
Wear a sweep of bronzer to really amplify your smile, however make sure you steer clear of warm or golden bronzers and opt for taupe-toned or matte colours to really enhance the sparkle of your teeth. Try the Fake Bake Beauty Bronzer, £20.00 www.fakebakebeauty.co.uk - this cream based bronzing powder uses triple pigmentation to deliver long-lasting results for makeup addicts
6. Sweet smelling breath
Flossing and brushing is just part of the daily morning and evening oral care routine for most people. Good oral hygiene and dental care habits promotes good overall health and not only that, ensures sweet smelling breath and limited trips to the dentist!
