Lip Tricks

Want lips as kissable as these?

Here are the best tips and tricks I know!

I think this is the most important thing you can do for your lips: drink water! No one wants to kiss dry, cracked lips. Women should generally drink about 60 ounces of water a day, but this is different for everyone. 

Now, if you do have dead skin on your lips, the best thing to do is exfoliate. Yes, you can buy lip exfoliaters. You can also use things from home to exfoliate. I've heard people use their vibrating tooth brushes every time they brush their teeth. Some people just use a warm, damp wash cloth and rub it over their lips. I like to use a heavy dose of chap stick and a disposable mascara wand to wipe off the dead skin. Some women keep the wands from old mascaras to use for this sort of thing. Just make sure not to rub to the point of pain!

If you wear any sort of lip color, the best thing to do is dab a little bit of a shimmer on the center of your bottom lip. This has the same effect as highlighting on your face; it highlights your lips and makes them appear more full. 

For those of you who use lip liner - draw only on your lips! I've seen women try to line outside the lines of their lips in order to make them appear larger. While this thought is appealing, it's not realistic. It is noticeable.
