Beautiful lips

Getting the perfect look-at-me pout is just a few easy steps – and a great tube of lipstick away Pucker Prep Just wipe and go right? We wish! Simply putting gorgeous color on a dry, cracked mouth doesn’t help it look better. Scuff off dry, flaky skin each morning with a soft-bristle toothbrush or if your lips need more intense exfoliation, mush a teaspoon of brown sugar with a teaspoon of honey and rub the mixture over them. When they’re baby soft, apply a moisturizing balm first. Your lipstick will go on smoother and be less likely to clump or cake in the corners.
Prime your pout Priming one’s lips has become a crucial step before applying lipstick as it works as a lip conditioner while making your lipstick’s tint last longer. It also makes for a seamless lipstick application as it smoothens and refines lips.

Seal the deal You don’t have to buy the most expensive lipstick in the store to be sure it will last all day. Alternating layers of creamy and dry textures is a sure fire way to make even the most cheapest stuff stay for hours – and this technique helps prevent feathering, too. Start by lining and filling in your lips with a neutral pencil. Then use a brush-on lipstick-cum-gloss to apply on thin coat of lipstick. Next, lightly blot your lips with a tissue and dust on a little translucent powder. Repeat the steps once or twice more for color that keeps going, but still want a finished look that stays strong all day long. Or use a cream concealer (one or two shades darker than your skin) as a lip color, and then boost shine with a single coat of lip gloss on top.
Strike it rich Ring around the mouth – it’s a phenomenon produced when lipstick fades faster than liner and it ain’t pretty. The main cause is drinking from a glass. Take a cue from models and actresses: they will discreetly lick the edge of the glass with their tongue before taking a sip. The saliva creates a barrier, keeping more color on your lips and less on the rim of the glass.
