CHAPPED LIPS Combine four teaspoons of almond oil and the contents of one vitamin E capsule, and warm in the microwave. When mixture is slightly warm (check it on the inside of your wrist), gently pat on your lips. LIP PENCIL Its purpose is to give the lips definition and keep lipstick from bleeding. Using it to outline your lips is a big no-no. It leaves a big ring around the mouth when lipstick fades. Always use a lip liner close to your lipstick shade. PLUMPER LIPS WITHOUT COLLAGEN Cinnamon oil plumps up your lips by increasing blood flow to the lips. It also leaves the lips with a slight rosy tint. Test on your wrist to ensure that you are not sensitive or allergic. WHAT COLOR? Fair complexions: Pale pink, beige, or cool red. Medium: Burgundy, caramel, or berry. Olive/Yellow: Brown and plums. Dark: Berry, dark, red beige. WHAT KIND? Long-wearing: Stays on for four to five hours, but it can also feel dry. Transfer-resistant: Lasts up to eight hours, but can make lips dry and may be hard to remove. Matte: Lots of color! But can look dull. Cream: Contains lighter waxes, but needs reapplication. Moisturizing: Makes lips soft and shiny, but doesn't last. Satin: Lots of oil and moisturizing, but looks darker than actual color. GET SMOOTH Before applying lipstick make sure your lips are smooth and 'flake' free. Gently brush your lips with your toothbrush to remove dead skin. Apply lip balm and allow it to soak before applying your lipstick. MAKE small LIPS LOOK FULLER use a neutral lip pencil to draw slightly outside the line. Go for shimmer. A light-reflective surface can make your lips appear larger. Don't use much though because gloss reflects light and can make your lips fade. LIP TRICKS Open your mouth when applying your lipstick. Apply lip pencil along the Cupid's bow of your upper lip. Never go over your natural lip line. THIN LIPS Use a small amount of gloss or pearlized shadow in the center of the bottom lip, this will make it appear fuller and pouty. PETROLEUM JELLY gives lips a natural gloss. NATURAL LOOKING LIPS Simply apply lip balm followed by neutral pencil over it. POUTY LIPS Add shine over your lipstick. Shine makes everything look bigger. Warm some bag balm in the microwave and gently pat on your lips after it's warm but comfortable to the touch. Using a baby's toothbrush, gently brush your lip in a circular motion. this will not only take away the chapping but it will also swell the lips temporarily, making your lips look fuller. LUSCIOUS LIPS Open a vitamin E capsule with a pink and squeeze the contents on your fingertip. Use it as gloss to treat chapped lips, wipe off the flakes with a toothbrush.
