Manners
maketh a man but a lipstick maketh a woman!! Find out how you can attain
sexy and sheer lips guaranteed to seduce!!
Firstly we all need to understand that lips
also need protection even more so than our facial skin. As their
protective layer known as stratum corneum is very thin so choose a non
medicated stick like the Nivea Lip Care Daily Care and apply it daily to
keep lips soft and supple. For serious flaking or soreness, look for
products that contain camphor, menthol as both are soothers and always
remember to apply lip balm underneath lipstick as it makes the lipstick
easier to remove and cause less damage.
Some best
tips to Sexy lips.
1. Here's the best bet to setting your lip
colour. No matter what the texture of your lipstick is always apply lip
balm first to soften and smoothen the skin. If your lips are chapped
apply some Vaseline and softly rub your lips with a soft muslin cloth to
remove dead skin leaving your lips looking healthier.
2. The first step to a fashionable mouth is
to define your lipline, if you want to make your lips appear smaller use
colours like dark berry or chocolate shades which make lips look thinner
also apply the liner on the inner boundary of your natural line. On the
contrary if you want a more fuller look recreate your lipline slightly
above your natural line and use a sheeny or sheer moisturising lip stick
in warm coal, rosy pink or a bronzed caramel tone. Make even more of
your mouth by applying little gloss in the middle of your lower lip.
3. After a proper definition apply your
lipstick with a lip brush this gives a more even and lasting look to the
lipstick, then blot with a tissue. You can dust some powder through a
single ply tissue to achieve a sophisticated matte look or reapply
another coat of lipstick for intense colour.
4. If you always land up with lipstick on
your teeth than simply put your index finger in your mouth, close your
lips around it and slowly pull it out of your mouth. The residue will
stick to your finger.
5. The
new -look of glossy shimmering lips can be achieved easily by applying a
gloss that matches your lipstick colour so it enhances the actual tone
as well as add shine. Or think of updating a tired browny lipstick with
a lick of shiny gold shimmer- it's instant sun-kissed splendor on your
lips.
6. You can also choose
a nude shade close to your own skin colouring and apply carefully with a
brush all the way to the edges of the lipline and add a new dimension
with a touch of sheer gloss for a striking effect for day and night.
7. You can also opt for one of the most
versatile, classic and ageless colour red. By tapping your ring finger
onto your red lipstick and apply them to your lips by dotting on the
colour and then spreading it . Apply sheer gloss to add a touch of
class. You can also decrease the voltage of red by applying a
nude/natural lipstick as base colour.

Q. I
am 20 yrs old and even
though I have never smoked, my lips are black. I am extremely worried
over this. Please suggest a remedy.

It is possible that the problem is hereditary. A very simple and easy
way of reducing the problem is by massage the area with coconut oil
mixed with glycerin and a little rose water. Massage this onto the
lips two to three a day regularly
for a week and you will
see a difference.
