Your lips are one of your most valuable assets. They can be used to seduce and to attract that special person. They can light up a room with your smile and brighten up people’s day. It is important to take care of your lips and to know what to do to get them most out of what you have. This article will help with a few tips on how to have great lips.
Lip Care
Taking good care of your lips can not be done by one simple task, but instead a series of tasks that need to be performed on a regular basis to get the best results. Luscious lips set the perfect mood for romance. To get the most out of them, take regular care of your lips, so that they look fresh and healthy. Luscious lips also provide you the opportunity to stand out in the crowd and they bring you in the limelight.
You will need to take extra care to protect your lips in the winter when they are exposed to the cold and the wind. Remember to eat plenty of vegetables and fruits which are rich in Vitamins and ensure you maintain a good intake of water.
Every morning it is a good idea to brush your lips with a soft toothbrush and then apply lip balm to obtain those lipstick worthy lips. Remember your lips will only look beautiful and attractive if they are healthy. If you apply your lipstick onto dry and chapped lips they will look unattractive and get you attention for all the wrong reasons. Try not to lick your lips as this will only help to dry them out.
How to get Sexier Looking Lips
If you have thin lips or would like to get a sexier, fuller look then follow the below steps and your pout will be irresistible:
1. Get a natural lip liner, and carefully draw around the very rim of your lips. If you get a wobbly line, don’t panic, just carefully remove it and start again. When you have a firm line, fill in the rest of your lips with the same colour.
2. Now for some lip-gloss. Keep the colour of your lip gloss neutral and try to stay away from colours that are too dark or too light. Remember that gloss may look better than lipstick but it does not stay on as well, so make sure you keep it in your purse and re-apply during the day.
3. Now the finishing touch. All you have to do is dot a white shimmery product like eye shadow or an eyebrow highlighter in the very centre of your lips. Start slowly, and blend very carefully. What you are looking to achieve is natural looking shading, with your lip colour being lighter where your mouth opens. This will create the illusion of beautiful full lips.
Longer Lasting Lipstick
If you are applying lipstick you don’t want it to come off as soon as you arrive at your destination. There are plenty of things you can do to make your lipstick last longer, but here is my favourite which is used by many celebrity makeup artists:
1. Apply foundation over lips first
2. Apply lip liner to lips and fill in lipstick with a lip brush
3. Bite onto a piece of tissue and blot lips
4. Dust lips lightly with translucent powder
5. Apply final coat of lipstick
Follow the above steps and you will have great looking gorgeous lips all of the time and who wouldn’t say no to that.
