Tips For Glorious Lips

Lips Care:

Moist, smooth lips hold color best. Stay pucker-pretty by following these basic tips for healthy lips. Give dry, flaky lips the brush-off; add “brushing your lips” to your morning ritual using a soft toothbrush or terry washcloth. Now add some lip balm to smooth the way for lipstick-worthy lips.

How to get Sexier Looking Lips:

To make your lips look fuller and sexier, especially if you have thin lips, line lips first with lipliner then use light-coloured or neutral-shade lipsticks. Pale shades make lips look fuller. Finish with a shimmer-gloss for Party-wear. To enhance a pout, dab a silver/shiny lip-gloss onto the centre of your lower lip.

How to Alter Lip Contours:

Apply lipstick except in the centre of the mouth. Apply a lighter shade in the centre of the mouth and touch it up with lip gloss. For thinner lips apply foundation on the lips and outline lips with lip pencil (within the natural lip line). Fill in lipstick with a lip brush. To make thin lips look fuller, apply foundation on mouth area. Use a lip pencil to outline the lips just beyond the natural lip line and fill in with desired colour.

Longer Lasting Lipstick:

Here is a Hollywood trade secret used by myself and many celebrity make up artists:

* Apply foundation over lips first.
* Apply lip liner to lips and fill in lipstick with a lip brush.
* Bite onto a piece of tissue and blot lips.
* Dust lips lightly with translucent powder.
* Apply final coat of lipstick.

Almond oil, and even olive is is the BEST to condition and moisturize them, as for pots or sticks you can carry round, have a browse and look at the ingredients. anything including butters (shear, cocoa, almond) or oils is the best...try to avoid all petroleum jellies.

Soft lips feel so good on and they leave the lips looking great. They re leave chapped lips and they have a variety of different flavors. They are small and easy to keep in your pocket or your make up bag. I use this on my lips and i always get compliments on how great my lips look.

Wet your lips with warm water to soften the skin. Take a wet toothbrush and gently ex foliate your lips by rubbing the bristles in a circular motion on your lips- this helps remove the dead skin. Wash away with warm water. There's no need to towel dry your lips since they will quickly just drink up the excess water- immediately afterwards, put on a nice soothing balm.

Vaseline works just fine, Burt's Bees is another good one, I'm currently using Blister Lip med ex balm- excellent (not too sticky, but very moisturizing) balm. Sleep, wake up in the morning and repeat procedure- keep applying lip balm as necessary and rubbing your lips together to ensure circulation and maintain moisture, so your lips don't dry out quickly. Lips get dry really easily and frequently. I've tried it all - Vaseline, Blister, Chopstick, Lip Glosses (even high-end ones), Body Shop... but I find they are just temporary remedies. I want a lip product that I can feel sink down and hydrating.

Other ones I try sort of sit on my lips and when they go away, my lips are dry again. For school I want something that will last long. Make sure you drink at least 4 cups of water a day and maybe some other liquids. Take an Omega-3 supplement and a whole food multivitamin. serious chapped lips are either a sign of a vitamin deficiency, dehydration, or overly harsh skin care products, like retina, sulfur or benzenes peroxide.

Another tips:

To help your chapped lips heal faster, lightly use a toothbrush (make sure your toothbrush has a soft bristle and keep it light-handed) and brush your lips. It may tickle, but hey...it helps to remove the dead skin allowing your lips to heal faster. Then apply your lip conditioner. Your lips should heal and feel much better in very little time.
