Best Movie Star Lip Tricks (without surgery)

March 9, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Want your lips to look fuller? Your lipstick to last longer? Want to look like a movie star before heading out the door?

These movie star lip solutions should do the trick.

  • Purchase some super glossy lip gloss. Gloss can be used at any time; even if you don’t have a mirror handy.
  • Be aware that creamier lipsticks should be used as we age. Avoid matte and gloss color types in lipsticks.
  • Outline lips before using lipstick. Smudge the lipstick into the liner to get rid of stark lines. Apply the liner just outside your lip line. Keep the liner the same shade as your lipstick. If you already have full lips, avoid lipsticks in strong colors. Use soft sheer hues and don’t line your lips.
  • Keep your lipstick away from the heat. Lipstick can get warm in purses too, so make sure you keep your purse away from direct sunlight. Never leave lipstick in the car.
  • If you play up your eyes, don’t play up your mouth.
  • Use a lip liner to keep your lipstick lasting longer.
  • If you get lipstick in the wrong shade, keep it. There is probably another lipstick you don’t like that you can blend with it.
  • Red lipstick is great; but not everyone can wear every shade. Just make sure you line your lips with a lip liner if you do. Check out totalbeauty.com to discover the best shade of red for your skin tone.
  • Use foundation on your lips. Your lipstick will stay on longer. Or powder your lips before adding lipstick.
  • Darker lipstick colors make your lips look smaller; light colors give your lips a fuller look.

Though trial and error is part of every total beauty plan, when it comes to making good lips look great, a little know-how can take even a non-star a long way.

Everyone is so busy nowadays that they don’t have time to sit around for hours doing their hair and makeup. That doesn’t mean that they don’t want to look their best for that day’s business meeting or school event, it just means that the thought of waking up hours before to get ready doesn’t appeal to them.

If you are like one of those people who don’t have the time to devote hours to getting ready in the morning then you might be in luck. There are a handful of quick beauty tips that any woman on the go can use to make herself look professional, presentable and shining every day.

While there are dozens of social media software programs devoted to changing a person’s look quickly, the quick on the go tips won’t be as easy as clicking a button for a new look. Instead, these tips will require some habits to be changed and some pre-planning to put into effect.

Here are two helpful on the go beauty tips that any woman can use.

Drink water. It might sound a bit odd but if your skin is properly hydrated then there really isn’t a need to wear a massive amount of make up. Properly hydrated skin will glow with a radiance that makeup will only cover up. So drink up that water and there will be no need for makeup!

Lip Gloss, Mascara and Go. If you are really in a rush, there are only two items that a woman needs to put on—lip gloss and mascara. The rest can be left for another time or not at all. These two items will bring out the lips and eyes and leave the rest of the face looking just as great. Always carry a lip gloss container and mascara pen and you’ll be good to go if you ever leave in a rush!
