I am not sure about you, but lipstick, along with mascara is the one makeup item I can’t do without. It instantly transforms my appearance, giving radiance and vibrancy to my face, even when I don’t feel my best. But I’ve always been keen to learn more on how I can perfect my pout and the good news is – I have compiled a list of just how to do this. Time to pucker up ladies!

1) Don’t underestimate the power of concealer.

If you are a fan of applying a bold lip colour, try outlining your mouth with concealer. The contrast between the lipstick and the concealer will help to make the colour even more vibrant.

2) Perfect the Cupid’s bow with an X.

Many of us struggle to perfectly define our Cupid’s bow, but fear not – all you need to do is use a lip pencil to draw a small “X” at the top centre of your upper lip. Then try lining your lips from there, and you’ll find it is much easier than starting at the corners of your smile.

3) A baby’s toothbrush can help you to achieve baby-soft lips.

The ultra gentle bristles of a baby’s toothbrush make the perfect tools to scrub away dry skin on your pout. First, lather your lips with lip balm, then use the toothbrush to gently buff the skin and help loosen any flakes. This will help you to avoid that cracked look which let’s be honest, isn’t attractive.

4) Homemade lip scrub is just as good.

First apply a generous amount of lip balm, then simply pat some sugar crystals onto your lips, then massage them in with your finger. This is a cheap, quick and easy way of getting rid of flakes.

5) Finger to the rescue.

Lipstick on the teeth? Never attractive is it? All you need to do is slide a clean finger between your lips, then drag it out. Any pesky lipstick lurking on the inner parts of your mouth will be removed. Believe you me, your teeth with thank you for it!

6) Gloss baby gloss.

Dab a bit of clear balm to the centre of your lips to help accentuate your pucker. The shine acts like highlighter, making your pout stand out. Mwah!

7) Bite your lip (gently!)

The perfect shade for your pout is the colour of your lips when your bite them gently and the blood rushes to the surface. This is the perfect “your lips, but better” shade for you to wear. Our previous blog all about how to find your skin tone will help further with making sure you get the right shade, not just of lipstick but foundation too.

Client Testimonial: “Jodie is extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the IPL treatment sessions. She explains the process and what to expect so that you are put at ease from the first consultation. During my IPL sessions, Jodie marked up the areas and avoided any moles or damaged skin, then preps using the cooler handle before a light shot. The light shot itself really doesn’t hurt, it’s done in seconds. The fact the skin is cooled first makes this an easy process to tolerate. I genuinely didn’t feel in pain at all and Jodie applied a lovely aloe balm to soothe the skin straight away. If anything I felt my appointments were more of a therapy as I knew I would be hair free come my holiday. After each session I came away feeling the progress getting better and better and by week 5 there was hardly any hair growth. I didn’t feel the need to shave anymore. I felt more confident and there is much less maintenance at home now which means I have more time for other things. I would highly recommend IPL hair removal by SkinBase and with Jodie as she made me feel at ease from the moment I asked about it and the difference it makes is life changing for someone who wasn’t so confident in her skin. I can’t wait for Summer and my holiday. Thanks Jodie & SkinBase.”
