Magical Lip Tricks

I've always envied those girls who have lips.  I mean I just really have no lips, never have.  So...I always search for ways to make my lips look a wee bit more like Angelina Jolie.  Ha ha.  Here's the video I filmed today on a few tips and tricks I've learned along the way to help the "lip challenged" such as myself.

Here's a brief recap of the things I go over in the video:
1. Dark colors make things look smaller and light colors highlight things or make them stand out.  To make your lips look larger use lighter, brighter colors.  
2. Line your lips with a neutral color that is a bit darker than your natural lip color.  Blend the liner toward the center of the lip but leave the actual center free of lip liner.
3. Using a shade or two lighter than your liner, fill in the lips concentrating on the centers.
4. Use either a lighter shade of lip gloss or a slightly shimmery powder such as an eyeshadow and dab this on the center of the bottom lip and on the top of the cupid's bow.
5. The eyeshadow trick will make your lips more "matte" but will also help seal the lipstick and make it stay on a wee bit longer.
I hope these tips help you achieve the lips of your dreams!  Or at least just give you a bit more confidence in the lip area...enjoy!
PS...PLEASE rate, comment and subscribe to my YouTube channel and my blog.  It would really really make me happy and when I'm happy I smile and my lips disappear but with my magic lip tricks I can still see them!  WOO HOO
