3 Top Tips For Luscious Lips This Valentines Day!

Have Kissable Lips This Valentine’s Day

1. Prep

Removing dead or unwanted lip skin is the first step to the perfect pout. There are lots of lip scrubs on the market or they are dead easy to recreate at home with some sugar and olive oil.

For some extra oomph give your lips a gentle brush with your toothbrush once your teeth are done. This will increase blood flow and make them appear fuller.

2. Prime

Next is to soothe, moisturise and hydrate. The winter can be very harsh on our lips so give them a little TLC with a nourishing balm and ensure they are in tip top condition!

Try:

* Vichy Aqualia Thermal Lips containing Nourishing Shea Butter, Hydrating Glycerine and Vitamin E. €4.00

* La Roche-Posay Nutritic Lips, a non-greasy balm with Biolipids and Ceramindes €4.00.

Both available in pharmacies nationwide.

3. Finally – Polish

Now that you have the perfect canvas – it’s time for some attention grabbing colour. Choose from stains, lipsticks, glosses, tints…the possibilities are endless.

For full on glamour lips apply a concealer that is a shade lighter than your normal lip colour. Next apply a natural-coloured liner close to the outer edges. Apply your chosen lipstick and finish off with a dab of gloss on the bottom lip inside centre to draw attention for the plumpest organic part of the lips.

Happy Kissing
