Caring for your lips
Lips are often forgotten about but they need care as much as the rest of the face. Apply lip balm to lips after cleaning your teeth in the morning, and any time they become dry and chapped during the day. A good lip balm is Vaseline. Try to drink lots of water as well so that your lips are kept hydrated. A sexy, sultry lip is a full, smooth lip, rich in colour.
Lipstick
Lipstick is an easy way to give your lips colour and definition. Lipsticks come in many different shades and you should find one which flatters your skin tone and eye colour. The easiest way to find out is to ask advice from makeup assistants in shops. They often offer free makeup sessions to introduce you to products which work for your skin type. N.B. Don't feel pressured to buy the products they demonstrate on you. If you really do like the products, and they work for your skin type and way of life, then feel free to invest in good makeup! However, if you're not persuaded, tell them you'll think about it. Then go and try another brand. As a consumer you have every right to try the makeup and not buy it.
Lip gloss
Lip gloss gives shine to your lips. It can be applied on top of lipstick to give your lips an even deeper colour. Or it can be applied straight onto the lips to give them a shimmer. Lip gloss creates the illusion of wet, pouty lips which is a very sexy image. Lip gloss does come in different shades so do try and go for one that suits you. Lip gloss also smells good and tastes quite nice too, which is probably why a girl will consume 2 kilograms of lip gloss in her life (on average)!
