Here are 5 tips for soft lips that only require basic items and products you probably already have. Have gorgeous lips without paying huge amounts of money! It couldn't be better, could it?!
To Make Your Lips Appear Fuller:It's best to outline your lips with a neutral colored pencil to create a fuller lip. Be careful not to draw outside of your lip's natural line, but rather right on top of it. This will prevent the good ol' clown look! After you have lined your lips, apply your lip color, then add a high shine lip gloss. If you prefer not to wear gloss, use a high shine lip color. Lip-glosses add that pouty look that makes your lips look even bigger. You can also try and line your bottom lip with a liner about 2 shades darker than the color of your chosen lip-gloss, and then use a plumping lip-gloss on top of it. To Even out Crooked Lips:First, coat your lips in face foundation, then lightly powder. Even out the thinnest lip with a liner that is the same color as your lip color. After balancing out the lips, even out the powder and liner with a softening sponge to make the look more natural. If you want a more pouty look, use a darker pencil and add a line just slightly underneath your bottom lip. The trick is to blend it to give a natural look For Dry or Chapped Lips:A tried and true method for dry and chapped lips is to apply a natural shea butter lip balm each night. When you sleep at night, you retain some of that moisture and lock it in before you wake up to apply your make up. It is important though, to use a lip balm underneath your lip color or gloss in order to maintain that gloss throughout the day. Aloe Vera gel and vitamin E oils are great for coating your lips, as well. Use a lip exfoliator once a week to ward off cracked dry lips, even if you don't suffer from this problem. To Shape Your Lips:Where your lips need definition, cover your lip line with face foundation. Follow up with a powder. If your lips lack the V formation, draw a V at the middle portion of your lips. Apply lip color, just beneath your liner and if you'd like, apply your gloss. Remember, a darker liner creates more of a pouty look. Moist or Matte?:Matte lipsticks tend to have more staying powder and look great as day wear. Moist/glossy looks top off that evening look sensationally. But what you wear depends greatly on how long you need your color to last and how much definition you need added to your lips. (Glosses add more depth to lips, but require more applications) There really are no rules here. Remember, no matter which choice you make, less is still more.
