As you may already know, i am very far away from anything professional here, but i have found a few tips and tricks that i think are really effective!
Step 1) Exfoliate...
Mix a small amount of honey, and half a tea spoon of sugar together on a plate, in this photo it looks very strange, but don't worry, it is supposed too! Gently, with small circular motions, rub this onto your lips, this is going to remove any dry skin and leaves them feeling super soft! You can buy a lip scrub (Lush do amazing ones that come in delicious flavours!) But this DIY alternative is just as effective and if a small fraction of the price! And you can lick this off or wash it away with a towel.Step 2) Lip balm...
Apply a liberal amount of lip balm, of any kind, to your lips, this is going hydrate and smooth your lips. This makes the lipstick application much easier! I am using a lip balm from Balance Me, it's their rose Otto intensive lip salve. It is quite expensive but it is one of my favourite lip balms around, and Glamour Magazine often give away Balance Me products. Step 3) Line...
Step 4) The lipstick...
With a lip brush and your chosen lipstick ( i am using an MUA lipstick in shade 1) fill in the whole of your lips! Using a brush will give you a much more precise shape, and this way you can build the up the colour, to what you are happy with. Make sure to stay inside the lip liner!Step 5) Gloss? ...
If you want more of a matte look, then leave it there... but if you want glossy lips, then choose a gloss, i am using a Collection 200, pure gloss lip shine in Dolly Mixture. I dotted it around the bottom o my lips and rubbed then together. This created a fun and classic red lip!Then your done!
