Tips & Tricks of today - Lips

Hey everyone. Okay today i am feeling mega tired. Me and sumaiya were tempted to take an afternoon nap at 2pm today because we were shattered so i was actually going to go to sleep without doing a post HOWEVER i have received SO MUCH POSITIVE FEEDBACK for the blog today. So much love and so much support that it motivated me to do one post before bed time. Okay so todays post is inspired by Angelina Jolie and her bee stung lips. Big lips make a woman appear sexier, youthful & feminine. Not blessed with the perfect pout? Here are our tips to plump up the volume! Read on Girls.

PLUMP IT UP!

TIP OF THE DAY!

Number 1 : PREP THAT POUT!

Exfoliate before applying colour to ensure lips are soft and smooth. There are exfoliating lip scrubs available from chemists, I use my normal nivea cleansing wipes daily. Then swipe a brush over your lips with translucent powder or just your normal foundation brush will do to get rid of moisture. 

Number 2: LINE THOSE LIPS:

My secret weapon for a younger-looking pout - it's like a Wonderbra for the lips. No one has a perfectly symmetrical mouth, not even the most gorgeous celebs. This is why lipliner gives the impression of plumping your lips instantly by making them look bigger, while correcting and enhancing the shape and stopping lipstick bleeding. 

 When applying lip liner, you need to be firm enough to create emphasis without dragging and yet soft enough to give a good shape. Apply lipliner on the outer edge of your natural lip line... you can even move it out a fraction to give the illusion of a fuller mouth.  Only a tiny bit though girls.

Where lipstick is concerned, the important thing is not color, but to 

accept God's final word on where your lips end.

To make colour last longer, fill in the rest of the mouth with lip liner before applying your lipstick. AND make the lipliner either a very similar colour to your lipstick or lighter NEVER darker this will make your lips look smaller.

Number 3 : USE LIPSTICK & GLOSS

 Apply your lipstick, using a lip brush is the best bet as you will get more precision. 

Dab your lips with a tissue after the first lipstick application and then reapply a second time to make the colour last. The best way of applying lipgloss is gliding it over lips... it is great for lip plumping because it allows light to reflect from the surface of the lip, giving the illusion of fullness and depth.


REMEMBER: Lighter colours work wonders to make lips look fuller. Darker colours will make lips look smaller.

Number 4: Highlighter!

Finally give even more depth to lips by using a shimmer highlighter or white/clear shimmer powder. Dab lightly with your fingertip to the outer edge and centre of your  lips. This gives you a fuller lips instantly and adds definition.

Tadaaaaaaaa you have a perfect pout!
