The best beauty tips on lips

- If you wish to have gorgeous lips all through the day, then you need to draw all over your lips using a lip pencil before you apply lip stick or lip gloss.


- In order to have fuller looking lips, you can draw lines on your lips using a pencil and then mix the edges by using a sponge applicator. Then you can finish it off with petroleum jelly or lip gloss.
- To keep your teeth clear of lip stick. First open your mouth in to an extreme "O" shape. Then wrap a tissue on your finger and insert the finger in to your mouth and slowly circle your finger all around your mouth. This will get rid of any extra lip color out there.
- If you apply a little bit of lip gloss in the middle of your top lip, that would give you a sexy and pouty mouth.
- Find out a light eye shadow color which goes with your lip color shade and apply it right in the middle portion where your upper and lower lips meet each other.
- If you apply a lighter shade of lip stick on your smaller sized lip, that will hide the uneven size of your lips.
- To avoid losing lip stick while eating, you can try to keep your lips from touching the utensils, with the use of your tongue and lower level teeth.
- You can smoothen your lips out, by rubbing it with a wash cloth, before the application of lip stick on them.
- If you use any foundation around your lips, that would give a much more accurate look, even without the use of a lip liner.
For Full Lips lip tips:
Only a very few fortunate women have the perfectly sexy big lips!! Now a days, women try collagen to give them better lips. But there is a risk of your lips ruining the over all shape of your face, unless you do it very carefully.
- Lip liner is not necessary at all. If you like softer edges, you can achieve with the use of your finger or a Q-tip.
- Never try on any heavily shiny or glossy lip color.
- Use a neutral colored lip pencil and draw a little bit away from the lip. Now if you apply lip stick, it will fill up to the liner.
- You can use a white shadow above your lip stick, about the centre of your lips and then spread it a little bit.
- Use of any really dark shades of lip stick will give the appearance of even smaller lips than what you really have.

Pros and Cons of Waxing for Hair Removal

Pros and Cons of Waxing for Hair Removal

Hair removal is something women spend hours a month on, in most cases. In fact, American women focus on hair removal and hygiene more than women of any other culture in the world. Sure, beauty is a priority of American society but is it really effective to spend so much time on shaving? Women looking for a more permanent solution to hair removal are turning to the alternative waxing method to get the results they desire.


Pros of Waxing: Getting Rid of Unwanted Hair Benefits

Waxing can result in your skin feeling smooth and sleek, for weeks at a time. While many women routinely wax their eye brow areas, facial areas and lip, others are turning to waxing for their leg hair, arm hair or overall body hair. In addition, men are seeking out back waxing treatments. The major advantages which accompany waxing include the fact waxing removes hair for longer periods of time than traditional shaving can. A proper waxing procedure can remove hair for weeks at a time, with minimal re-growth. For those who don’t want to deal with facial hair or their bikini line on a daily basis, waxing offers the opportunity to deal with it once a month or even longer in some cases. While waxing does cost more than a one time shave, when the monthly cost of razors and cream are added into the equation, it can be just as cost efficient.
Waxing is an ideal choice for those who are in swimsuits often, those who are planning to go on a vacation or those who simply don’t have time for daily shaving. Imagine being able to sleep an extra thirty minutes a day because you didn’t have to shave! However, be sure if you do get waxing before a vacation, you do so about a week before you leave so the sun and sand won’t irritate a new wax job.
Cons of Waxing for Hair Removal
Waxing is a convenient way to keep unwanted hair from your body, however it does come with some disadvantages. First, it’s painful. Depending on what body part you’re getting waxed, the process can be brutal. This depilatory method is great for something like a lip or for the popular Brazilian wax, but when doing large areas like legs or the back, it can be lengthy and painful.
In addition, waxing can lead to complications. If proper preparation is not followed before the waxing session, ingrown hairs may occur. Those with sensitive skin might also experience allergic reactions to the process, which can be very bothersome. To prepare for a wax session, it’s important to exfoliate and be sure you’re not allergic to the wax being used. You can always ask your wax expert to do a small section of your body, go home and wait for a few days to see if a reaction takes place and then return for the rest of the treatment if you’re in the clear. This way you’ll not be exposing a large part of your body to risk of allergic reaction, if you’re susceptible to them.
Whether you choose to wax or not is certainly completely up to you and your personal needs and desires. While many women choose to splurge on it before a vacation, others commit to a monthly waxing session. Waxing can be more expensive and more painful than daily shaving. However, it certainly saves you time in the shower and the results last for much longer then a traditional shaving session.
