Health and Beauty Tips

Every woman dreams of having those lovely plump lips like Angelina Jolie or the sensuous lips of Michelle Pfeifer.
Here are some tips to create the illusion of perfect lips without any surgical treatments or unnatural methods which could be harmful.

1. What do i do if i have thin lips?
If you have thin lips don't use dark colors, they will make your lips look even thinner. Instead, opt for sheer pinks and neutral colors. You can also fatten up your lips by dabbing some lip gloss on the center of your lower lip. The gloss will reflect light which gives the appearance of fullness.

2. How can i get softer and moister lips?
Apply lip balm, blot off the excess and then put on your mat lipstick. Your lips will feel soft and moist. Don't use flavored lip balms, because you may be tempted to lick your lips, which will cause them to chap.

3. How can i stop my lipstick from smudging or bleeding?
There are many great long wearing lipsticks which last all day. Alternatively, you can outline your lips with a lip liner, it's much better to use a liner that is close to the same color as your lipstick.

4. How can i prevent my lipstick from disappearing?
First apply your lipstick, next, remove the excess with a tissue, then add some foundation powder and finish with another layer of color. Don't try this with sheer lipstick or glosses because the foundation will distort their color.

5. What about women who are 50 or over?
Make sure your lipstick isn't too glossy. It's much better to use a semi-mat with hydrating formula, which will give you soft lips all day long.

6. How can i make my lips look slimmer?
Although many women like Goldie Hawn and other famous stars will pay good money for a bigger pout, not all women like big lips. Try using nude and matte formulas which play down the fullness of your lips.

7. What is the best way to enhance my lips?
Try applying a lip base that uses paraffin to help fill in lines. Also use a natural lip liner in the same color as your lips. Draw slightly above and below your natural lip line with liner and then apply a light to medium colored lipstick. A dab of shimmering gloss in the center will give a luscious lip effect!
