Make your lips full gorgeous!

Want lips that would make Angelina Jolie jealous? These easy makeup-artist tricks will make your smile look soft, full and unforgettably beautiful!

For plump, glossy lips
Go for a shimmery center!

Makeup artist know that the center of your lower lip should look the fullest and that gloss with a sheer metallic sheen gives the best plumping effect. So dab a little silver or gold gloss on your lower lip for instant fullness!

Tip! Prefer super-sheer color? Apply gloss first, then dab on a light coat of lipstick for a pretty "watercolor" effect!

For perfectly shaped lips
Try precise lip lining!

If your lips are thin:
Draw the line slightly outside your natural lip line.

If your lips are full:
Line your lips just inside the lip line.

If your lips are uneven:
Line the thinner lip slightly outside the natural lip line and the fuller lip just inside the natural lip line.

Tip! Shy away from dramatically drk lip liners, which can appear unnatural.

For smooth, soft lips
Try a lip exfoliator!

Just like the rest of your body, your lips need a good scrub to remove dry, flaky skin--which makes lipstick feather! Once a week, rub an exfoliator over your lips and follow with a soothing balm.
Try: Tarte fRxtion lip exfoliant and balm stick, $11, www.tartecosmetics.com.

For long-lasting color
Try the powder-blotting method!

After applying lip color, blot with a tissue. Leave the tissue on your lips and lightly dust the area with powder. Just enough powder will seep through to set your lipstick and hold on to your color for hours!

Tip: Test new lipstick colors on your fingertips. That way you can hold the shade near your face for an accurate evaluation.

Easy lipstick tricks!

-- Make a natural line!
Keep your lip lines looking natural by sharpening your liner only once every six applications. The duller the point, the more natural the line may look!

-- Use foundation on your lips!
When you're smoothing on your foundation, cover your lips, too! It'll make your lipstick last longer!

-- Go matte for fullness!
To give your lips fullness without gloss or shimmer, apply your base color first, then brush and blend in a lighter color in the middle of your lower lip!
