Pick Your Pout
When it comes to achieving that perfect pout, most ladies feel that the best alternative is getting lip injections. Though effective in most cases, this procedure is not only costly, but very risky. Before scheduling that meeting with Mr. Needle, give these quick lip tricks a try.
Want Em' Bigger?
If you have a favorite lipstick, matching liner, and clear lip gloss then you already have the basic tools you need to make your lips look bigger. The key lies within the placement of the lip liner.
Starting at the bow (top middle portion of the lip), begin lining slightly off the edge of the lip line from corner to corner. Apply lipstick on both the inside of the line and top of the line. For best results use a lipstick with either a satin or subtle sheen finish. To create a maximum full pout look, apply a light coat of clear shimmer lip gloss using a disposable flocked lip color applicator.
Make Em' Smaller
Now if your looking to slightly minimize the size of your pout, go the opposite route by applying the lip liner inside and slightly under the lip line from corner to corner. When applying your lipstick, apply inside the line only. To maximize your minimization look, use a lipstick with a matte finish.
So no matter what lip colors you chose, remember these two important tips for creating a re-size illusion. Lining on and outside the line then follow with high shine finishes for a plumped full look. Line inside the line, and follow with a matte finish for a reduced size look. If you didn't know, know you know!!! Till next time, Stay Fabulous!!!
