TIPS FOR LIPS

CUPID LIPS
To achieve a bold defined look for cupid lips, start by out lining your lips just inside your natural lip line. Shade your outer edges of the lips with a slightly darker lip liner to add strength & definition. Take the color in towards the center of the lips & apply a matt lipstick apply it over the lip liner & concentrate the color in the center of the lips.

LONG LASTING LIPS
To achieve a long lasting non smudgy finish, apply a soft pale skin tone powder (bronzing) over the lips. Lightly pad the powder on with a bush or sponge/puff. Reapply your lip shade on top of the powder lips repeat a couple of times. This has a similar effect with blotting lips with a tissue but avoid removing any lipstick.

FULLER LIPS
Different effects can be achieved by the way of application of lip liner & different textured lipsticks. To achieve fuller lips start by out lining the lips on the extreme edges with a liner of your skin tone or one shade lighter. Then apply a sheer lipstick one or two shades lighter then the lips to the middle of the lips (away from liner). This helps reflect light in the middle of the lips & brings them forward. Apply desired lipstick color & blend it evenly over the liner. Use lip brush for smooth close effect. Finally apply gloss in the middle of the lips to reflect light & lips appear fuller.
