1. Apply emollient balm before putting the color. This is will hydrate your lips and make an even tone.

2. With a short and light strokes. Use a neutral colored pencil to trace around the perimeter of your lips. After it�s done you can use desired color pencil you want to fill in your entire mouth.

3. To increase the size of your lips use a matching gloss or high shine lipstick. Apply the gloss or lipstick with a lip brush to make sure that color is evenly distributed.

4. To prevent bleeding dab a translucent powder around the edges of your lips.

Lips and eyes are the most important focal points of your face so one must pay special attention to these areas while doing makeup. Here are some additional tips for your lips that you can use:

* Lipstick staining your teeth makes you look extremely shabby. To avoid this, pucker your lips in an extreme 'O' and then apply the lipstick.
* Even if your lipstick smudges to the insides of your lips, wrap your finger with a tissue and put it into your mouth, and twist it slowly to eliminate any extra color.
* You can also highlight your lips by using a light film of eye shadow color coordinated with your lip color in the center of the upper and lower lips.
* If one of your lips is larger than the other, balance the look by using the lighter shade of the lipstick on the smaller-sized lip.
* Don't let your lipstick pass on to the utensils while dining by using your tongue and lower teeth and avoiding them to come in contact with your lips.
* To smoothen the lips a little before applying lip color, rub them a little with washcloth gently.
* Apply foundation on and around lips and then define the look of your lips using the lip liner.
* If you lips are naturally full and large, don't use the lip liner though you can soften the edge using a Q-tip and avoid glossy and shiny lip color.
* If you have thin lips, use light shades to make them appear fuller. Define the lip using the neutral lip pencil from slightly beyond your natural lip line and then apply lipstick covering up lip defining line. Another trick is to apply white shadow on center of both lips over lipstick very lightly and spread it gently.
* If your upper lip is too thin or does not have a good shape, outline it with the lip liner similar to your lipstick and in the center portion, draw a second line giving it the precise shape using a brown pencil. Apply color including the brown line. This will make your lips look fuller.
* To hide lip lines, apply lipstick vertically.

Re:FF News: Sexy Lips 0 Minutes ago Karma: 0
If diamonds are a girl's best friend, then lipstick is her soul mate. Even with flawless makeup, most women don't feel complete until their lips are lined, glossed or otherwise coated in color. To get the sexiest lips possible, follow these eight simple steps.

1. Exfoliate. To keep the skin on your lips smooth and make lipstick glide on more evenly, regular exfoliation is key. One easy, at-home method: Aloette Soothe n' Smooth ($24.50; aloette.com), a two-part scrub-and-balm set designed to remove flakes and nourish lips with peppermint, beeswax, aloe and safflower oil. Editors' trick: Take a clean, dry toothbrush (not the one you use to brush your teeth) and rub a bit of Vaseline onto the bristles, then gently brush your lips for several seconds to smooth away rough spots.

2. Condition with balm. Without moisturization, getting the perfect pout is virtually impossible. "You really have to be a lip-conditioner junkie," says Gordon Espinet, global makeup artist for M.A.C Cosmetics. That's why you should slather on a lip balm full of moisturizing emollients like beeswax or glycerin, as well as good-for-you vitamins like the antioxidants C and E. Try Neutrogena Overnight Lip Treatment ($3.49; at drugstores) with hydrating vitamin E and glycerin. Or look for superhydrating sheer glosses that add a touch of color too. We like aveda lip shine ($13.50; aveda.com), rich in conditioning botanicals like plant lipids.

3. Alternate lipsticks from time to time. While matte shades tend to have more pigment and fewer moisturizing ingredients (that's what makes them last longer), most nonmatte lipsticks actually help your lips retain moisture, according to Ronald Moy, M.D., president of the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery. A better bet: Revlon Moisturous Lip-color ($7.50; at drugstores), which comes in 24 shades.

4. Treat the first signs of aging. One of the most common complaints: those annoying lip lines that develop with age and trap lipstick. Daily prevention is key: It will pay off in the long run by lessening the deeper lines and wrinkles that are much harder to get rid of completely. Retinols are effective in the war against wrinkles, specifically prescription anti-aging creams like Avage, Tazorac and Retin-A, Moy explains. Editors' trick: Try wearing a lipstick with retinol like beComing Lip Delux Smoothing Retinol Lipcolor ($12; www.becoming.com).

5. Use the right liner technique. How to do it correctly: Start with a liner just slightly darker than your lipstick shade and outline the shape you desire (going outside your lip line slightly will make lips look fuller). Next, use the side edge of the liner tip or a lip brush to feather the color inward. Then, fill in with the lighter lipstick. For easy application, choose a pencil in a nearly nude shade, such as Bliss lip liner stick in Pink Eraser ($15; blissworld.com).

6. Protect lips from the sun. Because lips have a minimal amount of melanin, they have no natural defense against the sun, says Dennis Gross, M.D., a New York City dermatologist and the founder of the M.D. Skincare line. Gross' advice: Always apply an SPF 15 lip balm under lipstick and reapply frequently during the day. For effective coverage, try the all-natural aveda lip saver ($7.50; aveda.com) with SPF 15.

7. Adopt good habits. Major lip mistakes can result from bad habits; smoking, for example, aside from damaging your health overall, speeds up the formation of vertical lines around your mouth. Licking your lips also can make them rough and prone to chapping (your saliva evaporates and pulls away even more moisture from your lips in the process). Also, no matter how nervous you are, don't bite your lips. The skin there lacks an outer layer of protection that body skin has, so it can easily be broken, making it prone to infection.

8. Use the right shade of lipstick. Just because a particular color is the current rage doesn't mean it will work for you. Test a new shade on your lips, not just on the back of your hand: "You might as well just be looking at it in the tube, because it's not going to be the same on your face," explains Jennifer Artur, a makeup artist and owner of A Beautiful Life beauty boutique in New Hope, Pa. When in doubt, go with a beige-pink color (or beige-brown color if you have darker skin). One neutral color that works well on just about everyone: Maybelline Wet Shine Diamonds lipstick in Pink Topaz ($6.75; at drugstores).

Tips for Creating Sexy Lips

Getting sexy lips is easy with these simple steps

Creating shapely, sexy lips is easier than you think. With the right lipliner and lip color, any set of lips can become fuller and more alluring. Just follow these steps to create sexy lips.

Sexy Lips Tip 1:
An effective way to create sexy lips is to apply a lipliner that matches your lip color, or using a soft natural tone. Try a Waterproof Mechanical Lip Definer Pencil, which is available from Aloette in six sultry shades. Not only will this lipliner help define the outline of your lips, but it is also a great way to keep your lip color from fading.

Sexy Lips Tip 2:
To begin shaping the lips, use the lipliner at the center of your upper lip, then draw down towards the outer corners of each side to complete the line. Then, start at the corner of your bottom lip and follow the lip line to the opposite corner.

Sexy Lips Tip 3:
Make sure your lip color stays on your mouth - and not on your teeth - by putting your index finger in your mouth, then drawing it out slowly with your mouth closed. This will remove any excess lip color.

Sexy Lips Tip 4:
Create sexy lips by using pink, rose or natural glossy lip color to not only help shape your lips, but also to enhance the skin’s natural hues. Effective lip colors to try are Petal from the Lip Colors Lipstick line and Rose Dust from the Liquid Lip Shine line.

If you choose one of the Lip Colors Lipstick, finish off the look with Lip Sheen to achieve shiny, healthy-looking lips. Also, lips get the added benefit of hydration with vitamin E, which is used in all these lip colors.
