Lip Plumper Tips
:Do you sometimes think that you would kill for beautiful full lips? Sure, you could get Collagen implants, or tattooed outlines around your lip... But it’s a little bit excessive, am sure you’ll agree! There are other cheaper, and much more practical, ways of achieving a similar affect.
Here’s how to get beautiful full lips in four easy steps...
Step one: Lip balm babe
Prepare your delicate lips with a generous slick of lip balm in advance. Nobody likes cracked and frayed lips! And in this cold winter weather it’s important to take more care than usual. (Cold weather will dry the moisture from your lips). Make sure that the lip balm has sunk a little before you go on to step two, otherwise your lip liner won’t work.
Step two: Line and define
Get a natural lip liner, and carefully draw around the very rim of your lips. If you get a wobbly line, don’t panic (and don’t think nobody will notice it)... just carefully remove it and start again! When you have a firm lines fill in the rest of your lips with the same color.
Step three: Now add some shine!
Here comes the glamorous bit, the lip-gloss! Again, keep the color natural. Forget lipstick that’s too dark or too light. One thing you’ve got to remember though, gloss looks better but doesn’t have the staying power of lippy. Make sure you keep it in your purse and re-apply during the day.
Step four: Plump them up
This is the hard bit. But actually its not! All you’ve got to do, (after you’ve completed steps one through three), it’s a white shimmery product like eye shadow or an eyebrow highlighter in the very center of your lips. Start slowly, and blend very carefully. What you are looking to achieve is natural looking shading, with your lip color being lighter where your mouth opens. This will create the illusion of beautiful full lips.
Oh, one last thing. Remember, people always want what they haven’t got, so don’t fret... just make the best of what you’ve got. And you know what they say; if you’ve got it, flaunt it!
So pucker up, and be sweet!
Easy Lip Tips:
* To keep lips going all day, first pencil all over lips with a soft lip pencil. Apply lipstick over and blot.
* To make lips look fuller, line lips with a pencil and then blend the edges with a sponge applicator. Cover with gloss or petroleum jelly.
* To keep lipstick off teeth, pucker lips into an extreme "O". Cover your finger with tissue, and pole it into your mouth. Slowly twist it out of your mouth, eliminating any excess color.
* To achieve a sexy mouth, emphasize your top lip by dabbing just a touch of gloss in the center.
* Highlight your lips with a very light eye shadow color that coordinates with your lip color tones. Place it right in the center of your upper and lower lips.
* To balance unevenly shaped lips, use a lighter colored lipstick on the smaller-sized lip.
* To keep lipstick in place while dining, keep lips off utensils. Use your lower teeth and tongue to do the work.
* Gently rub with washcloth over lips before applying lipstick to smooth out lips.
* Apply foundation around the lips give a precise look without lip liner.
For Full Lips:
You are lucky if you've been blessed with those large lips. Women everywhere are trying to replicate with collagen. But large lips can take over your face if you're not careful.* You really don't need lip liner, but if you like the look, soften edge with your finger or a Q-tip.
* Don't wear any lip color that is too glossy or shiny.
For Thin Lips:
* Draw slightly beyond the lip with a neutral-colored lip pencil. Then apply lipstick. Your lipstick will "catch" onto the liner.
* Apply white shadow on center of lips over lipstick and spread slightly.
* Don't wear a very dark shade of lipstick. It makes lips smaller.
Lipstick
Lipstick is a cosmetic product containing pigments, oils, waxes, and emollients that applies color and texture to the lips. There are many varieties of lipstick. As with most other types of makeup, lipstick is typically, but not exclusively, worn by women.
Quick Tips:
* To stop lipstick from bleeding, use a lip liner, or apply foundation over the lips first.
* If you have big lips, use muted colors such as purples, browns and bronzes.
* If you have small lips, avoid dark colors.
* Professionals prefer to use a brush for lipstick application. Brushes generally allow you to use much less lipstick.
The colors that suit you are:
* Light blondes can use wines, berries and mauves. They also suit cappuccino colors.
* Golden blondes should use corals, apricots or peachy hues.
* Blondes with olive skin tones are best suited to warm peaches, browns or terracotta's.
* Brunettes suit terracotta’s, cinnamon's and brown tinted reds.
• Red heads can use warm terracotta colors, cinnamon's and peachy browns
Adjust Your Lips
How to adjust your lips* Make Small Lips Look Larger - Apply a little Vaseline or lip gloss to the middle of the bottom lip, which brings the lips out, making them look larger.
* Make Large Lips Look Smaller - Use the deeper colors in your palette (deep color makes the lips recede), and stick to a matte formula; keep away from shiny glosses
Beautiful Lips
Some of us have less perfect lips than others. But don't despair! There are plenty of tricks of the trade to help make your lips more balanced and beautiful. Some of the most effective solutions:* The best lip color fixative? - A thin layer of Chap stick. The formula holds lip color like crazy as it heals and protects.
* Powder lips also gives lip color or gloss something to cling to for longer, smoother wear.
* For longer wear, blot lips after applying lipstick to set color and remove excess. Add a thin layer of loose or pressed powder, then apply color again.
* Turn down too much shine by holding a single-ply tissue to your lips and pressing a little loose powder through it - just enough will sift through the tissue to adhere to color and reduce the shine.
* Turn up the shine with a thin layer of clear lip gloss over lipstick or alone.
* For high-voltage shine and color, try a lip lacquer over lipstick or alone.
* For fuller, pouter lips, spotlight lip gloss right in the center of your mouth.
* Keep matte lip color from drying your lips - use a lip primer or lip color fixative before you apply the matte color.
* For evening special-effects, apply a sheer lip gloss in silver, gold or an iridescent shade over the lip color.
Kiss Me Lips
The most kissable lips look? The same one that's pretty any time: your natural shade with a kick.
Step 1: Preparation
Smooth lips with lip balm. Avoid slick products, such as Vaseline or anything else petroleum-based (they will make the lipstick slide off).
Instead, apply a waxy balm, such as Chap stick, and massage into lips with your fingertips. Then let it sink in for a few minutes.
Step 2: Pick Your Stick
Grab one that lets lips show through, such as a sheer lipstick or light gloss.
Apply...LIPSTICK straight from the tube. Blend into lips and along your lip line with fingertip.
Apply LIP GLOSS with the wand or a lip brush. Smooth out with your fingertip.
Step 3: Blot
When you are finished applying color, lightly kiss the back of your hand. This will get rid of excess product without cutting down on the sheen. Then, gently smack your lips together to even out the color one last time. Pucker up!
How To Apply Lipstick And Lip Liner
A. Do Liner First
Lip liner is optional but if you use it, it should go on first. Don't use liner darker than your lipstick, because if the lipstick fades and the liner doesn't, you're left with just an outline. Use neutral or lipstick-matched liner.
Starting at the center of your upper lip, draw a line to each outer corner, following the edge of your natural lip line.
Fill in color all over lips if you want extra holding power for your lipstick.
*Hint: Chill lip pencil in the refrigerator for a few minutes to make sharpening easier.
B. Lipstick
A dusting of powder or bit of foundation beneath lipstick can maximize its staying power. Either dry lips, though, so use a creamy formula lipstick.
Stretch your lips and starting at the center of top or bottom, glide color to corners. Blot, reapply and blot again for longer-lasting color.
*Hint: A lip brush gives you the most precision in applying lipstick.
Fuller upper lip
Not happy with your upper lip?
Outline the lips with a pencil that is the same shade as your lips. Then, on the center of the upper lip, use a brown pencil and draw a second line. Apply lip color and the brown will blend right in... but your top lip will definitely look fuller.
Get rid of lip lines
Small blemishes in the form of lip lines can be annoying...
To make them less noticeable, here's the trick to try. Instead of applying your lipstick horizontally, apply it vertically. And now you'll have sexy lips.
The elegant choice
Choosing the right lipstick color is not as easy as it seems...
You have found a gorgeous shade of lipstick on a model in a magazine and you instantly run out and buy it. You spend a small fortune on the color and when you get home, you realize it looks terrible on you. The lipstick was a complete waste of money.
To avoid this trap, make an appointment at one of those cosmetic salons that will assist you in your color choices. That's their job, after all! Let them suggest colors to you, try them out and if you like it, then you buy. It's as simple as that.
Lipstick Colors
Choose the right shades of lipstick either warm or cool that will look good with your skin.
Dark Skin
Warm: spicy or rusty shades
Cool: Bright reds will look best
Medium Skin
Warm: Choose chocolate or a coral
Cool: Mauve and berry are good
Light Skin
Warm: Beige and peach
Cool: Stick to pale pinks
How to use red
Red lipstick is it for you or not?
You bought red lipstick...but many times you found that the shade just wasn't right for you. Perhaps most of the time it was just too bright for your skin tones.
Try adding a little brown to your red. It tends to tone down the brightness. Experiment a little. You will have lots of fun and create signature colors that are all your own.
If you manage to make/mix up the perfect color for yourself and you don't want to continue mixing your own color, take a sample to the mall with you and find a red that is as close as possible to the shade that you created.
Ripe Red Lips
Wouldn’t you like to have luscious, kissable red lips? A lot of women are afraid of painting their lips a bright, vivid red for various reasons, but mostly because they are not sure if they can wear red well.
But contrary to what a lot of women think, it is not that hard to put bright red lips on effectively and make it work for you. It is a matter of knowing how and what you should keep in mind when you do.
First, you should pick a shade of red that suits the color of your skin. Take note that the paler your skin tone is, the bigger the red lipstick will make your lips look. If your skin has a pinkish tone, you should opt for plum reds. On the other hand, if you have yellowish tones on your skin, a red lipstick that looks warm and with a brown base would flatter your skin more.
Red lipstick also makes the lips seem bigger, pouting and more prominent. This is good for women with thin lips; a good red lipstick will add volume to their lips. For women with fuller lips, however, may want to use red lipsticks that are more dark-hued, such as reds with browns or reds with blues or purples, rather than the bright hues. Using reds with browns or blues will minimize their lips.
To apply your red lipstick that will give you the maximum effect, put first a light layer of foundation over your lips. When the foundation has dried, dust your lips with face powder. Afterwards, line your lips with a lip liner, but make sure that your lip liner matches the color of your lipstick. This is especially important if your lipstick tends to bleed from your lips.
When applying the lipstick, use a lip brush rather than smearing the stick on your lips. This will keep you from putting on too much. Always start at the middle of your lip and work your way to the corners. When you are done, blot it out with a tissue and then apply a second layer. This will make your lipstick last longer on your lips.
Speaking of making your lipstick last longer, you can dust your lips with a thin layer of face powder when you are done applying your lipstick. This will help you gain a few more hours on the lipstick. Other things to keep in mind are to avoid chewing on the lips and to keep the lips moisturized.
You should also remember that if you are going to paint your lips a vivid red, you should compensate and keep your makeup balanced by toning down on the eye shadow. Vivid red lips go with light eye shadow; better yet, lay off the eye shadow completely if you are going for red lips and just put mascara on your eyelashes. If you are going to pair bright red lips with heavy eye makeup, you will only end up looking like a clown.
Red lips are always gorgeous and kissable. Go ahead and try it.

Finding the perfect shade of lipstick is as important as finding the perfect outfit. Your lipstick is a major part of the personal statement you make through your fashionable appearance. Everyone notices the perfectly dressed woman with the perfectly shaded lips and envies her.
How do you discover the perfect shade of lipstick? Sometimes, it takes a little trial and error to find the shades that compliment your skin tone.

Not only have lipsticks been perfected to color our lips provocatively, but also they have been perfected to offer them protection from the elements. Lipsticks keep our lips soft, moist, supple, and noticeable.
In general, remember:
• Muted colors (purples and browns) are better to tone down large lips.
• Light colors work best for thin lips.
Remember that putting on lipstick can be as easy as putting on a happy face! So, put a little dazzle in your life by putting a little sparkle of color on your lips!
Younger Looking Lips
As you get older there are some lip troubles that you have to solve. Like thinning, feathering and chapping of lips.
Here are some easy tips and treatments to get younger looking lips:
Feathering
As the skin around your lips wrinkles, lipstick blends into lines.
For quick fix use a lip liner. Liner creates a barrier that keeps color where you want it but pick a pencil that cuts down on application goofs. Try the clear, wax based version or a natural hued stick that matches your lipstick exactly.
Another no bleed trick: Lightly dust powder above lips to keep the area dry.
Another way of solving the problem is by getting filler injections for lip enhancement. The treatment usually lasts 6 months.
Thinning
Loss of collagen and fat will cost you plumpness. For quick fix use tinted balms. They create pout effect of gloss without looking too young.
Do the lipstick trick. With a lip brush, apply foundation just beyond your mouth’s outer edges, and then cover lips and the foundation area with lipstick.
For long term fix. Fillers add fullness, but avoid silicone. It can create permanent bumps.
Try lip enhancement injections, which can redefine the mouth in a very natural way.
Chapping
Since all skin loses moisture as you age, older lips are also drier. For instant fix, a lip specific exfoliate with round scrubbers will remove flakes fast followed with a balm.
When your lips thin out, their surface wrinkles up, making them looks drier. Over time, the ingredient retinol can help soften and smooth creases.
Since lip skin is thin and easily irritated, use a product made just for lips. Apply treatment product right before bedtime, but look for one that’s gooey rather than a solid, dry wax. Petroleum-based balms don’t add moisture; humectants-rich ones do.
Pencil Perfect Lips
1. Make sure that you pencil is sharp. Dull liner takes dull effect. You don’t want a dagger, either, so twist it in a sharpener two times.
2. If you line your whole mouth they will look unnatural. Focus on the top lip. Its usually the one that needs definition: Using feathery strokes, work from the middle out to one edge, then to the other. Line only the center of your bottom lip and don’t apply on the corner.
3. Always blend downward. Blending upward makes liner more likely to bleed.
4. If you are not sure with the color try a pinky-nude. It works for most skin tones.
Top Tips for Perfect Lips
1. Exfoliate Gently
Lips are more sensitive than the rest of your face, so facial scrubs can be too irritating. To remove dead skin, rub a soft, dry toothbrush over your lips once a week. Lip treatments containing salicylic acid can also peel off the dead skin without harm.
2. Add Moisture
Put on lip balm then blot away the excess before adding lipstick. Avoid flavored lip balms, however, as they may tempt you to lick your lips (causing chapping). Lips that are cracked to bleeding need treatment with 1 percent hydrocortisone cream and an over the counter antibacterial ointment such as Polysporin.
3. Stop Lipstick Bleeding
Choose a long-wearing lipstick which is less likely to seep into the lines around your mouth. You can also lock your usual lipstick into place by starting with a layer of foundation followed by color then dusting around your mouth with powder. Don't do this with sheer lipstick or glosses because base distorts their color.
4. Make It Last
The obvious solution is to switch to a transfer-resistant formula. But if you don't like their matte finish, then pencil in the entire lip with a neutral liner so you don't end up with a ring around your mouth when the lipstick fades. If the pencil is hard to spread, smudge it on your palm first to soften. Then top with any shade of lipstick.
5. Fatten Your Lips Up
Dab a dot of gloss on the center of the lower lip to create the illusion of dimension. Gloss reflects light to give the appearance of fullness. Dark colors make thin lips appear to recede, so use sheer pinks and neutral colors. Pale, shiny lipstick is your secret shortcut!
6. Slim Down
Although many women pay good money for a bigger pout, plus-size lips can overpower the rest of the face. A dark, shiny color on extra large lips is going to look like all lip which usually makes your eyes look tiny. Instead, play down puffy lips by using nude and matte formulas.
7. Add Shimmer If dark red or burgundy feels dampish for you, top it with a dab of iridescent gloss to lighten it up and make it feel fresher. For lips that are pearly, use a light hand and concentrate shimmer in the center of your lips - rather than all the way to the corners of your
mouth.
