Makeup is not complete without giving the lips a luscious look. Whatever makeup type you prefer should be paired with the appropriate makeup for the lips to complete the look. The tips for luscious lips include the proper way to shape your lips as well as how to perfect your pout.

Shape your lips
Shape your lips with a lip liner. A lip line not only outlines, accentuates and defines the lips but also prevent the feathering of lipstick. Apply a lip liner starting from the center of your upper lips to mark out the bow of your lips. Complete the line by working outwards on both sides of the upper lip. For the lower lip, start at one corner of the lower lip and continue lining up to the other corner following your natural lip line.

To achieve a supple and soft look, opt for a flesh tone lip liner or one in the same shade of your lipstick. Smudge the line so that it won’t look like a hard line and to make the lips look plumper and fuller. To add to the plumper fuller look opt for a lipstick with a little frost.

How to perfect your pout
Another tip for luscious lips is to perfect your pout. You can do this by applying lipstick from the center of the lips and blend it with the lip liner. Work it out in the direction of the corners. Blot the lipstick with tissue, apply lipstick again and re-blot. To achieve a creamy effect to the lips, Apply the lips with lip balm before you apply your lipstick.

Perfectly applied lipstick should be on the lips, not on the teeth. Additional tip for luscious lips is to make sure that lipstick stays on the lips not on the teeth. You can do this by putting your index finger at the center of your lips, close them over your index finger and draw it out gently. The lipstick on your index finger is what you would have found on your teeth. Photo Copyright of PR PHOTOS

In choosing a fabulous makeup to boost the beauty of your eyes, there are several factors that need to be considered; your eye color, the shape of your eyes, your skin tone including your personality, lifestyle and the occasion to which you will wear the makeup.

Dramatic eye makeup is usually those intended for evening and special affairs or when you feel you want to impress or call attention to your beautiful peepers. Smoky eye makeup, glitter cat eye makeup, colorful eye makeup and more, are all considered dramatic eye makeup, very fabulous eye makeup that provides drama and makes the eye pop.
A fabulous dramatic makeup is usually achieved with bolder liner on both the lower and top lids with eye shadow smudged under the lower lashes to soften the look; several coats of mascara on curled natural or false lashes; bright colored eye shadows or colors that you don’t normally wear; in a metallic or glitter finish. To make your dramatic eye makeup really stand out, the rest of your makeup- cheeks and lips, should be subtler or more subdued

Natural Eye Makeup
A natural eye makeup is also sometimes called a barely-there fabulous eye makeup. It capitalizes on the natural beauty of the eyes and uses colors that are barely discernible, highlighting the eyes without making it look like there is any eye makeup at all. This is a fabulous eye makeup for casual or day wear that makes use of eye shadows in the same tone or hue of the skin, eyeliner in a shade slightly darker than or the same shade as the eyelashes, clear mascara or one in a color close to the natural color of the lashes.
