Plumper Lips

Okay, I've had a few odd looks over the years ever since I started pulling lipliner out of my purse. I mean my grandmother used to be the only other person who wore it, so it's understandable. HOWEVER- I love the stuff, & no matter what people say, I'm going to wear it til the end. I think it could totally be confusing if you don't exactly know where to apply it or why it's even necessary. The whole idea is that it's not just like any other beauty product, it's there to enhance! So obviously, you can survive without it.
This picture to the right is exactly where I apply mine, it doesn't have to be a clean line, you're going to blend it anyway. I've stated before I usually re-purchase Rimmel's Lipliner in Addiction. I try & stick with something natural, like a rose, but slightly darker than my own lipcolor. That one works well for me but just hold them up in the drugstore and see for yourself. I also love Mac Lipliners, but since I use mine everyday, I go through them a lot much quicker! :(
Anywho, once you have the line down, take your middle finger and blend it away! Not completely away, but enough so you can't see the line a
nymore, your lip just looks darker on the outside. We've all seen our share of DARK lipliner... but this technique is literally just to make them look their best! So don't be weary.
Lastly, I swipe on any sort of lipgloss that I'm in the mood for. Today was Amber in Bare Escentuals, I love their Buxom line. But pick your favorite and do yo thang! Or if you're just not in the mood for gloss, put on some lipbalm or chapstick, it still does the job. Let me know how it goes!
