Most people have imperfectly shaped lips, but everyone seems to want full lips! Why are pouty, sexy lips so popular? Magazine covers and tabloids are responsible for most of their attention. Its hard not to want what everyone else seems to have! Goldie Hawn and Angelina Jolie are certainly two of the top contributors to their widespread popularity!
If you don’t have perfectly shaped lips though, no worries. You won’t need to rush out and get collagen shots in order to have them. Soft, luscious lips are not only possible for movie stars, they are possible for anyone who knows a few tricks! After all, big lips really don’t sink ships!
Angelina Jolie is one lucky lady! She was born with naturally full, luscious lips! Most of us ordinary gals, aren't quite that fortunate! Lip liners add attention to lips, without making them overly dramatic. The trick is, to apply liners correctly, so your lips enhance the way you look. Did you know that your lips are just an extension of your skin? They are an integral part of your Integumentary system, so they’ll need as much moisture, (if not more) than your skin, hair, and nails. This becomes especially true during the deep winter and the hot, steamy days of summer. Extreme temperatures suck the moisture right out of them. You’ll never have pouty, full lips, if you don’t take care of them by giving them the proper hydration they need! If you’ve ever had your lips peel, then you also know that this is a normal part of the regeneration process. You moisturize them and they exfoliate themselves. The process goes on time and time again during your life. Many women think that chap stick is a moisturizer, but it’s not. It’s a petroleum-based wax that only protects them, which is important too. However, to moisturize your lips, use lip moisturizers Makeup provides a great venue for people who weren’t born with pillow-top, full lips. You can create full lips if you don’t have them just by following a few basic tips and using a few techniques. Your lips will look fuller and sassier than they have in years! How to Create Full Lips – Corrective Makeup TipsThin Lips Thin lips are always a challenge because they are, ummmm… thin! You can make thin lips look fuller and accentuate their shape by *outlining the edge just outside the natural lip line with a lip liner. To create extra fullness, *use a brush to apply lipsticks and brush your lipstick to fill in between the lines. (Basic Crayon 101) Avoid using any matte colors as these can make lips look even thinner. Slightly glossy colors will make them look fuller. Lip plumpers *When you outline your lips with a liner, use liners that are not more than one shade darker than your lipstick color. This will keep color from bleeding outside the edge and will give you a guide for filling in. *If you have problems drawing a straight line, apply a few soft dots strategically along the edge of your lips. Fill in the line by connecting the dots. *When you use a brush for lipsticks, relax your mouth so that it falls slightly open. Brush lip colors from the corners to the middle point of both top and bottom lips. When you use a brush, you have much more control when you apply lipstick! Uneven Lips You can balance uneven lips by outlining just outside the thinner part of the lip. Use the fuller part of your lip as your guide. Check to make sure that the lines on both sides are even. Fill in the lines by brushing on your lip color. If the lines still look uneven, add more color to the thinner part. Pink shades of lipstick work well for uneven lips. Choose shades of pink that blend well with your skin tone.
Full Lips Full lips don’t really need any help looking larger, but if you want the maximum effect of your pouty lips, then outline using lip liners outside the natural lip line. Fill in with brushed on lipstick. Your lips will look ultra full and gorgeous! If your lips are awkwardly large, then outline with lip liner just inside the natural lip line. Fill in with brushed on lipstick to make them look less full. Matte lipstick colors also help your lips look smaller naturally. Avoid pearly or glossy shades. More Tips for Full Lips*Use lip plumpers. Lip plumpers usually contain cinnamon oil. The heat from the plumpers draws blood to the surface, which helps to create more fullness. Better yet, just buy plain cinnamon oil Two lip plumpers recommended to me are Lip Fusion Lip Plumper *Always soften lips before applying any lip makeup. Allow to absorb for at least 10 minutes before applying makeup. This helps your lip liner glide on more easily and will help lipstick from bleeding outside the lines. *Place lip liners in the freezer so they’re good and firm when you use them. If your liner crumbles or the points keep breaking off, your lines will go on too thick. Full lips should look natural and not take (too much) attention away from the rest of your face. *Lip glosses make your lips look larger. Use clear colors or colored lip glosses to help create full lips. If you want more of a matte finish, apply a small amount of loose powder (or minerals) with a soft powder brush after you apply your lipstick and liner. *Apply a light pearly lipstick (or gloss) in the middle of your bottom lip. The effect is fuller, plumper looking lips! Your lips will instantly look fuller and poutier with the right type of lipstick. There are tons of lipstick colors available, so be choosy. Always opt for lipsticks that flatter your skin tone and blend well. Also, make sure that any lipstick you buy, provides moisturizers for your lips as well. Didn't find what you were looking for?
