My friends and I love those products that seem to sting your lips and make them plumper: it can be so tingly, but sometimes that starts to scare us. What exactly is in that pouty lip-plumper anyway? What is it that’s stinging our lips and making the blood flow go crazy? Instead of searching through a long list of chemical names and finding out how bad this is for us, I decided to look for more traditional ways of getting the pouty lip. I cam across a video tutorial on perfecting the pouty lip, and here’s what I can tell you: it’s really not that hard, and you really don’t have to look like a clown! It’s all about the illusion of the color and shine.
The three easy steps:
1. Start out painting your lips with a thin layer of concealer or foundation. You want to make your lips the same color so you can get an even color palette.
2. Outline your lips with a lip pencil that is close to your normal lip shade, but slightly brighter or pinker. You don’t need to go red or bright pink to stand out; it’s all about the illusion!
3. Color in your lips with the lip pencil.
4. Apply a light lip gloss to really add some punch.
Voila! You’re ready for a night on the town.
