Lips! Care for Lips!

It's a Lip Thing!

• To get glass-smooth lips, brush them very gently with an old, soft toothbrush to exfoliate. Apply Petroleum jelly and allow it to soak in for 30 minutes or so.

• The way to impeccable make up is through a lip  liner. Keep it handy at all times. Make sure it is the same colour as your lipstick. Outline your lips just over your lip's natural border, so they'll look slightly fuller and younger and then blend it. Lip liner acts as a magnet keeping your lipstick locked in place for long.

• If you don't use a lip liner, apply a coat of lipstick and then blot with a tissue. Apply a second coat. Repeat for long lasting power. If you are a lady of leisure and have time on hand, get this right:  Blot lips by pressing a tissue over your lips gently with your fingers. Now, place a clean tissue over your lips. Dust translucent powder over the tissue with a powder brush. Finish by applying one last coat of lipstick and gently blot with another tissue. This application technique will dramatically increase your lipstick's stay on time!

• Know your lipstick formula: Creamy, glossy formula contain plenty of emollient ingredients, which make them likely to smear off. matte or opaque formula contain fewer emollients , so they have more staying power.
