To ensure that your lips are always looking their best...

In the morning and the evening when you are brushing your teeth.. brush your lips gently too.. this will improve blood supply and remove dead skin cells and make them look fresh and plump.

Don't forget when you have finished to apply some lip balm to keep them hydrated!

To ensure that you lipstick glides on and looks smooth.. make sure you apply a lip balm underneath.

This will not only make the lipstick look better and go on better but will also keep your lips hydrated!

Want your teeth to look whiter.. then wear a pinky shade of lipstick!

Want your skin to look browner.. then wear an orange shade.. but make sure it is the right hue for your skin or can make you look pale!

Can't get the shade of lippy that you want... simple.. mix two or more together to get the right colour for you!

Lip liners...

Many people don't actually wear these much nowadays.... but they are not there just to line the lips but enhance them... also keep your lipstick in place.

Many of the liners are wax based that do melt with body temp.. so don't go too over the top with them.

Match your liner to your lipstick for that classy look.. not the 80's dark rim lips.. that really isn't in at the moment!

Don't forget to put foundation on your lips as you want them to be as neutral as possible in colour after all .. you chose the colour of the lippy and why change it now!!

You can get many good products to help with lipstick bleeding.. this is when you apply a lipstick and you find that it feathers upwards and outwards...

I personally use one by Elizabeth Arden.. it sets the small furrows like a ridge filler and then I go with foundation... lip balm.. lip liner and lipstick or gloss..

When applying lip liner.. if you have a problem doing it within the lines.... then here is a quick and fool proof way of doing it.

Dot around the lips and then join them together.. this way you are not having to do it all in one line.. but small strokes and more likely to get the natural look!

Lip Gloss....

Most of us love our lip glosses!!... but one hard and fast rule with it.. is to apply it to the centre of the lips and leave for a moment.. your body temp will cause the product to melt and wonder.. so if you apply all over your lips.. you will find in moments that it gets every where!!
