How to Get Lovely Lips

Posted on: August 30, 2011

Ever wondered how those celebrities got that seducing kisser? Have you been lately trying to get those lovely lips? The fact is that our lips make a great impression on the other person and if you have the kind of lips that look dull, rough, chapped or wrinkled most of the time then it’s time you pay attention to them immediately.

The reasons for lifeless lips are some of the most commonly-known problems. These problems signify dehydration and/or use of low-quality products, etc. Whenever you look at yourself in mirror and don’t get impressed by your pout you have to realize that it’s time to bring it to life. Read on following steps to discover how to get beautiful, lovely lips with a little effort.

Step 1: Slather your Lip Balm

Moisture is a key to great-looking lips. For properly moisturized lips it’s necessary to invest in a good lip balm. Lip balms seal in the moisture and protect lips from getting exposed to harsh weather conditions. Think of it as your facial or body moisturizers (you surely can’t go without them especially if your skin is dry). So keep in mind to pick up a good lip balm next time you go for your cosmetic shopping. They come in many varieties and you can just choose one according to your needs. Look for ingredients like beeswax, shea butter or vitamin E. http://blogs.howstuffworks.com/2009/11/09/how-to-keep-your-lips-looking-lovely-all-winter/ All you have to do is to keep it in your bag or pocket to use it whenever you feel you need it. Just make sure you slather it well over lips, and when it wipes off, immediately apply it again. This way you’ll soon bring your lips back to a good condition with constant use.

Step 2: Don’t Forget to Exfoliate!

If you exfoliate your whole body then why on earth do you ignore your lips? Yes, the lips need exfoliation as do your other body parts. You have to remove the dead layer from the top to make sure the healthy fresh look appears from below. The best choice is to pick some lip scrub/exfoliator that comes with fine grains suitable for lips. The skin on lips is very thin so care should be taken to scrub it lightly, not like you scrub other body parts. Just dampen your lips a bit, take a small amount of scrub on your ring finger and rub it over your lips in circular movements for a minute or so. Wash off and follow with thickly applied lip balm. Do this each night before you get to sleep and the next morning you’ve got the prettiest lips on the earth!

Step 3: Make them up!

What if you’re unable to get lovely lips even after slathering a ton of lip balms and many hours of exfoliation? Well then you may consider making up your lips in a way that will mimic a celebrity pout. For a daily casual look follow these simple steps:

  1. Firstly, exfoliate your lips
  2. Apply a thin layer of lip balm
  3. Smear a transparent or lightly colored (nude, light pink or peach) lip gloss over it

For a party look follow the above first two steps and then put on a dress-matched lipstick over lip balm. For a more dramatic and sexy look you can go for a thick heavy lip gloss instead of lipstick or you can coat your lipstick with a clear lip gloss. Once done, get ready to rock!
