Tip 51: Cosmetics - Lipstick for Perfect Looking Lips

A tube of lipstick is one of the most important cosmetics a girl has. You have so many lipstick shades to choose from but not all may work well with you. Not all are perfect when applying lipstick so neutral lip colors are good in hiding any imperfections during application.

If you wish to use red or bright colored lipsticks, you may need to use a liner but it will only give a less natural look. You can solve this problem by using a lip balm and then apply lipstick only on the center of the lips. Use a lip brush to spread the color towards the lip edges and the lip balm will dilute the color, giving you a softer look. Tip 52:
