Glamorous Lips - Make-up Tips by Celebrity Make-up Artist

Words, Hair & Makeup by: Brandy Gomez-Duplessis

My holiday brides are normally the ones that request the most for glamorous and luxurious lips...old Hollywood inspired. I personally think this may be one of the hardest looks for a bride to pull off but, definitely the most glamorous. To achieve that high pigment & high gloss lip color, I am going to share with you a beauty industry secret.
My newest love when it comes to lipstick for brides is OCC Lip Tar from Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics. OCC Lip Tars are an amazing non drying high pigmented long wearing lipstick with a high finish gloss. The Lip Tar goes on very easy, just a little goes a long way. When it dries it has a great satin finish and the hemp and peppermint oil feels slick and minty on the lips. I find that I almost forget that I am wearing it. When applying I prefer using a lip brush because the texture is very smooth. Great to use with or without a lip pencil.
OCC Lip Tars are also GLAMTASTIC when it comes to Hi-Def Video and Digital Photography.


For the modern bride, who loves the attention and loves all the paps flashes, make sure your makeup artist has OCC Lip Tar in his/her makeup kits. The best Lip Tar colors for brides are:

*Lip Tar Indashio-a deep sea coral*Lip Tar Vintage-a deep burgundy*Lip Tar NSFW-a scarlet red lacquer*Lip Tar Hush-antique bridal pink

  1. I have never tried anything from OCC, but this looks interesting. It would also work for a holiday party

  2. Cynthia,

    The Lip Tar's are so great and fun to work with because you can mix with other colors. OCC is more of an air-brush company based out of New York. I use their air-brush products a lot and I used it for a Destination I Do photo shoot and fashion show.

    Let me know if you order any of the colors, I wanna hear your feedback. Your going to love them:)
