Beauty Tip Tuesday

It’s my favorite day again – time for another beauty tip.

So today let’s talk about big, luscious lips!

Most girls want them, but not all of us have them. So how do we get them? I mean aside from plastic surgery that is? Fake it of course!

Before we can start making our lips luscious, we need to make sure they are moisturized. To really achieve the look of those nice soft lips you need to keep them healthy. Start by wearing a moisturizing lip balm – if you have chapped lips try staying away from a waxy lip balm – it covers the surface of your lips (acts like a raincoat) and doesn’t let your chapped lips “breath” – which can make the chapping worse.

You will need:

- a soft bristle toothbrush

-moisturizing lip balm

-lip liner (nude/neutral – preferably close to the tone/color of your lips)

-lipstick

-lip gloss

-pink/natural shimmer

Steps:

1) You take the soft bristled toothbrush and gently brush your lips – this brings the blood to the surface of your lips and makes them appear fuller.

2) Apply the lip balm.

3) Take the lip liner and ever so slightly line your lips above your natural lip line. Smudge the liner so that it doesn’t appear as a “definite” line (this makes the look more natural). If you just want to make your lips appear “pouty” just accentuate your “cupid’s bow” and just under the middle of your bottom lip.

4) Apply the lipstick to your lips and using a lip brush or your finger gently “push” the color outwards.

5) Apply the lip gloss.

6) To make the look more “pouty” add a shimmer to the centre of your lips. (You can also put a hint of pink shimmer right above your cupid’s bow)

And there you have it friends! A way to achieve the look of those big, luscious lips! Let me know how this beauty tip works for you.
