LIP SERVICE

Yes,

Full, voluptuous lips are an asset sought by all women who pay big bucks to have their lips plumped with fillers, tattooed with permanent makeup and smoothed with chemical peels and lasers to remove the fine lines.

But you don’t need expensive and professional lip augmentation to help your lips look and feel better long term. You can practice proper lip care at home

FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES:

• Gently exfoliate your lips daily.

• Remove all lipstick each night before bedtime.

• Keep your lips moist with a lip conditioner; coconut oil works wonders.

• Protect your lips from sun damage with a sunscreen made for lips.

OTHER TIPS TO MAKE YOUR LIPS SHINE:

• Gently exfoliate your lips with fine buffing grains or a buffing cloth, then rinse and dry.

• Apply a thin layer of non-oily lip conditioner.

• Use a camouflage brush to apply a thin line of concealer around the outer edges of the lips, blending thoroughly.

• Outline the lips with a lip pencil in the color of your choice, then fill in the lips with the same pencil.

• Apply a layer of your favorite lipstick or gloss.

• Finish with a highlight of shimmery gold or frosty white in the middle section of the lower lip.
