Beauty Secrets Exclusively For Your Beautiful Lips
Have you noticed it's like work to have beautiful lips and keep them looking and feeling smooth and kissable?
Which makeup tips are you using to keep your lips hydrated?
Just like a prune shrivels up when dried out and plumps when soaked in water, so too your lips follow the same principle.
Your lips suffer from added exposure especially during extremely cold weather and since there are no oil glands in the lips there is little protection from the elements.
My Beauty Secrets for Maintaining Beautiful Lips
How many times a day do you lick your lips? Saliva breaks down the protective barrier that helps to keep them hydrated. Either wear lipstick or don't lick your lips.
If you don't wear lipstick use lip balms. However, not all lip balms are created equal. Ingredients such as vitamin E, beeswax, shea butter, and oils such as almond, jojoba or coconut are all good. A great time to apply a 24/7 lip treatment with healing properties is before going to bed and again before applying your lipstick the next morning.
Think sun protection for your lips as well as the rest of your face. A Vibran C lip treatment with SPF helps protect your beautiful lips.
Wrinkles and cracked lips - you are going to treat wrinkles the same way you would wrinkles on the face with specific creams and antioxidants. A lip plumper is very helpful. A beauty secret for lipstick that bleeds on wrinkled lips is to fill the area just above the lip line where the wrinkles are with a transparent pencil. By filling in with this pencil the lipstick cannot crawl up the lines. As for cracked lips, if you follow the steps above dry lips will be history.
Be cautious when purchasing long lasting lipsticks. The ingredients needed to make them last are very drying to your lips. If you want your lipstick to last longer try this. Line your lips with a lip pencil. Then fill the lips in lightly with the same pencil. You are now creating a base color that will stay on longer. Apply lipstick over the pencil.
How to line lips - keeping lips relaxed, outline your natural lip line starting at the outer corners and working towards the center. If one lip is fuller than the other, line the lip that is fuller just inside the lip line and the narrower lip just outside the lip line to create a better balance between the two lips.
Choosing color - larger lips use darker, more muted, non-frost lip shades whereas small lips need lighter brighter, frosty, glossy lip colors to give more prominence.
