Makeup Tips For The Lips
Lip Plumper
Moisten a bit of cinnamon and rub it on your lips before you apply lipstick. Or apply a bit of cinnamon oil to your lips (use only a drop as some people are sensitive to it). Or try lip-plumpers with niacin, a form of vitamin
B, that pumps up the circulation and so plumps up the lips.
Blurry Lip Lines
Apply a nude-colored lip pencil to the center of the lower edge of the bottom lip to sharpen its definition.
Older Color
Too much lipcolor can be aging, no matter how young you are. For a fresh look, give your lips a stain: rub a lip brush against your lip pencil and then brush the color on your lips. Press it in with your finger.
Washed Out
Intense color on the lips will perk up your entire face. When you're feeling washed out and wan, it's time to slide a tube of red or garnet lipstick (or gloss) across your lips.
Bleeding Lipstick
If you have oily skin, your lipstick may tend to bleed. Here are some correctives: Color in your lips before applying lipstick or gloss; outline your lips with a nude pencil (one that's dry, not creamy); or use a concealer pencil to fill in the lines around your lips and blend well.
Lips On The Downturn
Focus attention on the center of your mouth with a dab of gloss, and don't extend your lipcolor all the way out to the corners.
