STEP 1: 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 its 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 2: 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 line fill in the rest of
your lips with the same color.
STEP 3: 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 gotta 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 4: Plump them up
This is the ‘hard bit’. But actually it’s not! All you’ve got
to do, (after you’ve completed steps one through three), is dot
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!
