TIPS AND TRICKIES!!

"TIPS FOR LIPS"
GET TEMPTING, LUSCIOUS LIPS IN FEW QUICK STEPS:
1) Apply a light foundation (base makeup), evenly, to your lips. Dust a light face powder on them. This will ensure that the lip color stays on longer.

2) Get the desired shape of your lips with a lip pencil or a lip liner. Ideally the color of the lip liner should match the shade of your lip color or lipstick.
3) The beauty of your lips depends on how perfectly you outline them. For a perfect outline rest your elbows on a hard surface and then draw the borders.

4) Start with your cupid's bow first, then the outer corners and join them. Do the same for the lower lip.

5) Always use a brush while applying lipstick on the lips. Choose a lipstick which suits your dress, hair and complexion and fill the outlined portion with it. Open your mouth and apply the lip color evenly on your lips. You may use lip sticks or liquid lip colors. For a glossy effect apply lip gloss over your lipstick.
6) If you are going out in the evening, you may even use lip glitter.
7) Use a blotting tissue to remove excess lip makeup. Lightly press the blotting tissue onto your lips and remove it.
And "ahhaaaann"..you have the Perfect Lips..
