Weekly Beauty Tip - Week 3: Picture Perfect Lips

Who doesn't want picture perfect lips ladies? Here are three simple steps to get the perfect pout.
  1. Draw the line.
    Define the shape of your mouth using a lip liner. If your lips are naturally full, there really is no need to line outside the natural edge of your lip. Choose a shade that complements your favorite lipstick. Now color in your lips with the liner to get color that really clings. For my ladies with two-tone lips, feel free to go lighter with the liner application on the darker lip or skip it all together.
  2. Choose the right color and formula.
    Matte lipsticks give off intense color, but can be drying. Crème lipsticks deliver great color and keep lips moisturized. Whatever formula you choose, make sure to evenly apply the color, covering the liner and blotting any excess. We've found paper towels work well here as opposed to facial tissue which, depending on the brand can leave lint. 
  3. Set the look.Finish off with a little dusting of translucent powder and a second coat of lipstick or a coat of lip gloss. Or start off by using a transfer-resistant lipstick to help color stay put and perfect for hours.

Now if you're looking for the picture perfect full pout watch the video below. There are a couple of extra steps but it's still really simple and easy to do. The hardest part might be picking out a shade. Check back each week for a new beauty tip.
