Since time immemorial, women have been known to be more beauty-conscious than men. They don’t seem to mind spending even fortunes to keep their beauty prim and proper.
Beautiful Lips
One of the important contributors to your beauty is glamorous-looking lips. You can give a whole new meaning to your beauty by maintaining your lips in good shape. Sparing a little time and spending some energy in beautifying your lips is not a big task, especially considering the fact that good-looking lips act as a letter of recommendation wherever you go, whatever you do.
Let’s have a look at how you can beautify and maintain your lips:
Chap Stick: A thin layer of Chap Stick can do wonders as it performs the role of lip color fixative. Moreover, it protects your lips, heals them and even holds the lip color for a very long time.
Powder: You can easily enhance the look of your lips by powdering them with lip color or lip gloss – this gives them a smooth and finished look.
Blotting: To keep your lips beautiful and standing for a long time, blot them after applying lipstick as this sets the lip color and removes excess, if any. You need to do some more work here – add a thin layer of loose or pressed powder and then apply lip color again.
Remove Excesses: If you feel the shine of the lip color is just too much, you can hold a single-ply tissue to your lips and press a little loose powder through it – this removes excesses.
Lip Gloss: On the other hand, you can add more shine to the lip color with a thin layer of clear lip gloss either over lipstick or alone.
Lip Lacquer: For exquisite shine and color, you can try a lip lacquer either over lipstick or alone.
Special Effect: For fuller lips, apply lip gloss in the center of the mouth – this gives a special effect to your lips.
Lip Primer: Remember to use a lip color fixative or a lip primer before applying the matte color. This prevents your lips from becoming dry.
Add Glitter: To add glitter to your evening outings, you can apply a sheer lip gloss of gold, silver, or a similar shimmering shade over the lip color.
Petroleum Jelly: Before applying lipstick, you can put a thin coat of Vaseline (petroleum jelly) onto your lips. This way, you can get your favorite lip color and also moisturize your lips.
Homemade Recipes for Lip Care
Before proceeding to some more lip beauty tips, here are a few homemade recipes to make your lips feel and look good:
Lip Balm: You can prepare a marvelous lip balm by mixing one-tablespoon cranberry sauce juice with two tablespoons Vaseline.
Lemon Skin Juice: If you think your lips are too black to look good, there is a simple remedy – make juice of lemon skin and apply it on lips.
Coriander Leaf Juice: To add a smooth, soft touch to your lips, massage them with coriander leaf juice.
Lip Pencil: Use a soft lip pencil to line lips as this makes them appear fuller.
Uneven Lips: If you are worried about uneven lips, you can use a lighter-colored lipstick on the smaller-sized lip.
