Hairstyling Tips

woman-applying-lipstickOne beauty must for this summer: lips that say “kiss me, you fool!” If your kisser needs a makeover, just hunker down and pucker up with these tips on making your pout its prettiest:

  1. Take it from the pros – when makeup artists create bold lip looks for runway models, they keep the makeup on eyes and cheeks soft with lighter colors.
  2. Get the best nude lip look by dabbing cream foundation on your lips before you apply gloss. It’ll help cover up your natural lip color so it doesn’t peek through — plus, it makes your gloss last longer!
  3. Create a fuller-looking top lip by using a slightly lighter color on it. Just mix a tiny bit of concealer into your lip color to lighten it and apply that to the top lip, using the original shade on your bottom lip.
  4. Use a nude lip pencil as a base for any lip gloss look, no matter the color. Line around your Cupid’s bow and the center of your bottom lip, then fill in the rest (note: avoid corners with a semi-transparent gloss, or you’ll be left with an obvious line). Apply gloss and you’re positively pouty!

In the spring and summer, your best feature should be flawless skin. But since it’s warmer outside, you have to use a product that isn’t too heavy and won’t run down your face when it’s humid.
