Pretty Lips

Lipstick can be a girl's best friend and saving grace. If you are having a bad day, and feel a bit blah a bright lip can be an instant fix. At least for us, it is. Our mom taught us the basics when we were young: mascara, cover up, a light blush, and some gloss. It was when we were older that we discovered and learned the following lipstick tips. Now we love playing with different colours, and experimenting with many shades.

Here are a few lipstick tips that we have discovered along the way:

To prepare your pretty lips:

Tip 1: Use a tbsp of honey, and mix it with a tbsp of sugar. Add 1/2 tsp of olive oil and 1/2 tsp of Vaseline.
Mix together. Use your fingers and dab a bit onto your lips. Use an old toothbrush and gently ex foliate your dry lips. Rinse with warm water and layer on some lip balm.





























Tip 2: You can outline your lips with a liner, starting at the cupid's bow, working your way around the lips. If you are doing a bright lip, make sure you tone down the rest of your face, have a neutral eye, less blush etc.

Tip 3: After applying your lipstick, add a tiny bit of highlighter to your cupid's bow. This makes your mouth pop.

Tip 4: To get a matte lip, apply a light layer of light blush to your lips. This tones it down, and makes your pucker less shiny.





























Tip 5: Add some sparkles!

Tip 6: Experiment with a nude lip. If you want to look nice and tanned like Charlotte, try a neutral tanned lipstick.





























Tip 7: When in doubt, gloss it up!


Tip 8: If you get your lipstick smudged, use a bit of concealer and correct the edges.
