Did You Know?
You can fix a broken lipstick by heating it with a blow dryer. Simply, reattach it and put it in the refrigerator overnight.
Say ahhh...Open your mouth when applying your lipstick...the results will be glamourous!
Did you know the best place to test lipstick color is on your fingertips? The texture and color of your lips is most like your fingertips.
To avoid getting lipstick on your teeth, run your index finger through the middle of your lips and pull it out. The excess will get on your finger, not on your teeth!
To create a lip-gloss look, apply petroleum jelly over your lipstick.
Get plumper lips by applying cinnamon oil to them. It increases blood flow to the lips.
Always
use a lip-liner that is close to your lipstick shade. To save money,
buy a lip-liner in a neutral shade that matches your lips. It will give
you slight definition and no unsightly lines.
Create a fuller
looking mouth by putting a spot of lightweight concealer on the center
of your lips after applying lipstick. Lightly blend the concealer out
toward the corners.
Apply lipstick with a brush, to get a line around your lips.
If you are over 50, you will look better with a cream lipstick, because every bit of moisture helps.
Shea butter deeply moisturizes lips.
