How to Get Perfect Lips.


If you always see beautiful models with perfect pouts and are wondering how to achieve this look for yourself look no further. Here you will find all you need to make your lips irresistibly kissable !


Lip care Tips.


The skin on your lips is different from that of your face and so needs to be cared for differently. Using a moisturising lip balm containing vitamin E daily is important as it helps keep your lips soft and supple. Avoid excessive use of lip gloss though as this can actually dry out your lips.


If you have very dry lips a good tip is to apply a layer of Vaseline to your lips, take a dry flannel cloth and gentle massage your lips using a circular motion with the flannel, do this for about 1 minute, wash off all the Vaseline and pat dry, now apply a vitamin E lip balm to your lips. By doing this once a week you will help to slough off any rough, dry skin from your lips. Be careful not to scrub your lips though as the skin is very delicate. If you suffer from cold sores be careful not to rub or scrub your lips as this may trigger a cold sore.


How to Apply Lipstick Perfectly.


Get perfect lips in 5 steps.


For this you will need :


Lip Balm


Foundation or Concealer


Lip brush


Your favourite lipstick


Lip liner pencil matching your lipstick colour


Clear Lip Gloss


Step One : Apply a thin layer of lip balm and rub into your lips well.


Step Two : When applying your foundation or concealer put a little on your lips so you will have a smooth canvas to apply your lipstick.


Step Three : Using your lip pencil draw around your lip line keeping the line soft and feathery, do not draw a hard, blunt line, the idea is to give your lips a natural but defined line. Pay particular attention to your cupids bow, make it a little more pointed for a glamorous look or more rounded for a natural look.


Step Four : Apply colour to your lips using your lips brush, blending the lip colour into your lips to ensure longer-lasting colour.


Step Five : Put some clear lip gloss on you bottom lip only to give your lips a fuller look and give your lips a glossy sheen.



Tips and Tricks for Beautiful Lips.


Dramatic lips need toned down eye make-up and dramatic eyes need natural lips so go for one or the other ! This will ensure that you achieve a gorgeous look and properly accentuate your features.


If you have big lips don't apply gloss all over your lips instead only apply to your bottom lip in the center to avoid the "trout pout" look !


If you have small lips avoid dark lip colour, go for bright warm colours to give the illusion of fuller lips.


If your teeth are a bit on the yellow side avoid red lipstick.



It's that simple, 5 steps to gorgeous lips !
