How To Pout Your Lips Perfectly?
1. Exfoliation Is A Must
Exfoliation ensures removal of dead skin cells and flaky skin, leaving behind soft and smooth lips. If you have super dry lips, exfoliate at least 2 times a week with a homemade or store-bought scrub. Use a soft toothbrush or damp washcloth to rub over the lips for some extra exfoliation.
2. Stay Moisturized
We’ve heard of the benefits of including a moisturizer for our face in our daily beauty regime. Then why not treat the lips the same way? Lip balms and creamy lip conditioners are available in the market that help keep the lips moisturized and protected from harsh sun rays.
3. Experiment Until You Get The Perfect Pout
There are plenty of lip plumping products available in the market to choose from. Experiment and find the best one that suits your skin and style.
4. Makeup Tips
After moisturization, apply a loose powder foundation that matches your skin tone with the lip tone. This will ensure a matte effect and also act as a base for the lip color to ensure it lasts longer. Before applying the lipstick, line the lips with a matching lip liner. Apply the lip liner with gentle strokes. Start from the middle and move towards the corners of the mouth. Ensure the lip liner color matches the natural lip tone and fills the lips completely. Lip liner application also helps prevent lipstick and lip gloss from smearing. Select a bold or bright shade of lipstick that matches the skin tone and apply it evenly over the lips, starting from the center and moving towards the corners. For best results use a lip liner brush to apply the lipstick. Finish the look by applying a lip gloss or lip plumper to give your lips a fuller look. Apply the gloss or plumper to the middle of the lips and press the lips together to distribute the shine across the lips. The gloss will reflect the light to create a delusion of plumper lips.
5. Exercises For A Perfect Pout
Who said exercising is only for the body? Your lips also need some exercise. Implementing these simple exercises in your daily routine is sure to give you slightly fuller lips.
