There is a simple way to achieve the effect of plump lips and it does not require any financial costs on cosmetic treatments and creams. The main steps of proper lip care that help to maintain the beauty and youth of your lips are- the protection, hydration and nutrition of the delicate skin of lips and lip skin care around them.

Once you clean teeth, massage your lips with a toothbrush – this procedure will help to remove old skin cells and increase blood flow, it is an easy way to saturate the skin with nutrients.

Do not forget to make nourishing masks for your lips several times a week. One of the easiest and most effective masks is the honey mask – just spread the honey on your lips and leave it for the night. The result won’t keep you waiting and lips will be soft and velvety. You could also try a curd mast simply apply it on your lips and leave for 10-15 minutes. Then rinse with warm water and apply hygienic lipstick.

Do not forget to moisturize the lips. For this purpose, try the mask of sour cream, with a few drops of lemon juice and oil. Keep the mask on the lips for 15-20 minutes.
And one more rule – a thin skin of the lips needs to be protected all the year round. In winter, protect them from dryness, in summer – from dehydration. Always use hygienic lipstick. Get rid of the habit of biting lips, this leads to cracks and dehydration.

Cosmetic pencil is another way to outline the lips, giving them the desired shape. The main thing here is not to overdo with it. Strong deviation from the natural lip line of pigmentation will make you look like a clown! Try to go slightly beyond your own lips, at the same time give preference to the color of the pencil in the tone of lipstick or a little darker. Sharply different pencil tone conceals the volume of your lips.

As for the lipstick color, choose the lighter natural tones. Some makeup artists also recommend using several shades of lipstick makeup to achieve the effect of volume. But you need to be a real artist: apply darker tone lipstick on the corners and lower edge of the lip and light tone in the middle. If you use a color gloss, then choose the one which consists of fluorescent micro particles.

With the right approach to these lip care tips, you will get the desired effect and increase lip volume.

How to Get Nude Lips

There’s something very ethereal about nude lips, especially when paired with sexy,smokey eyes.

The first thing you need to think about when doing nude lips is the rest of your makeup. Usually, nude lips look best with a smoky eye or some heavy mascara, so don’t be afraid to pamper your peepers before starting.

One of the best tricks I’ve learned about doing a perfect nude lip is to exfoliate the lips  before starting. This will ensure a smooth canvas. After you’ve exfoliated, apply a lip primer so your lipstick will stay on longer.

Get a little bit of concealer or foundation on your index finger and dab it onto your lips so that they are the same color as your complexion. Make sure you don’t smear it, but that you dab it on instead. Next, pick a nude lip liner, one shade lighter than the lipstick you’re going to use. Lightly line your upper and lower lips.

This is where the tricky part comes in. Choosing the right nude lip color for you can be an experiment, so pick up a few good nude lip colors and try them out to see which one you like. I am currently obsessed with MAC’s ViVa Glam lipstick in GaGa, which, as you probably already know, isn’t nude, but pink. But what I love about this color is that you can build it up to your liking, and although it isn’t nude, it makes for an amazing shade over the concealer-colored lips.
