How to Make your Lips Appear Fuller

Want fuller-looking lips? Try a lip gloss or go several shades darker on lips. Rich red shades make lips look fuller than neutral ones.


So you weren't born with Angelina Jolie lips. Neither were we, but I can show you how to make your lips appear plumper (perhaps not THAT plump) with these makeup tips.


I just picked up the other day at Sally's some Lip Fury Plumping Gloss by Real Colors. The color is called Nymph. I can already see and feel the difference. . I always apply a lip stick before I apply my lip gloss; my lip color would be a light glam pink. . It's bring the color out in my lips by applying the gloss over it to make it more of a nude pink. . . I didn't think the color would look right on me but look how it turned out:


Real Colors Lip Fury Lip Gloss's smoothing gel texture hydrates the surface of the lips and doesn't have a harsh sting associated with regular plumpers. This lip gloss features a collagen treatment that provides a more effective plumping effect than camphor or cayenne.

Filling In Your Eyebrows

* Choose a pencil and powder in the correct shade. Women with fair complexions should use a blonde shade, those with olive tones should go tawny or brown, and those with with African-American skin should use gray.
* Brush brows downward with a dry, mascara-like wand. To define the arch, use the pencil to draw a line along the upper edge of the brow. Comb the brows upward and outward.
* For added fullness, dust eye shadow into the hairs of the brow with a stiff, slanted brush. Dip the brush into a tiny amount of powder and use short, gentle strokes while applying.
* If brows have been severely overtweezed, brush the hairs in the direction of the growth, and fill in any visible patches with powder. Avoid adding to the top or bottom of the brows.
* Comb a clear brow gel up through the brows to set hairs in place.
Eyebrow Shape
Did you know that your eyebrow is supposed to start directly above the inner corner of your eye? 
The highest point should be just a little beyond the outer corner of the iris and should taper off to the end!
OK, so now you know...

For A More Natural Look

In order 2 get that look to where no one else will notice you having ANY makeup on. . .this is how it begins:

First:

Pick you out 3 neutral colors such as a brown, gold(bronze), and a cream color to go under the brow. . .or something of your choice of a more natural look. .

Secondly:

Before adding your eyeshadow, make sure you add an Eyeshadow Base such as Decrease by L'OREAL which is what I use on a daily basis. .
(Honestly, it really doesn't matter what color you use first as long as it suites you)

Thirdly:

After applying the Eyeshadow Base, starting with the golden eye color, begin to put it on the lid of your eye but be sure not to go out to far. .just from the crack of your eye to the end of your eyelashes line.. .

Fourthly:

Then you take the brown eye color, with an eyeshadow brush begin to work it into the crease of your eye and make sure you make it BLEND into the other color you've already applied to your eye. .you can use an applicator or a brush (I use both actually. .)

Fifthly:

After adding the 2 colors, take the cream eye color and apply it directly under your eyebrow; from the beginning to the end of your brow line. .add eyeliner if you want, some mascara, and a touch of blush with a nude lip.. . .

Another step you could possibly make is Defining Your Eyebrows. . And you can do this with some brow shadow, liquid eyeliner or a pencil, it really doesn't matter. .I prefer a liquid liner and some brow shadow. . .

Step 1: 
Take the Liquid Eyeliner(I use Line Stiletto by Maybelline New York) and make out the shape of your arch even if you don't have an arch. . .

Step 2:
Then begin to fill in your brows with the Liquid Eyeliner BUT not too much or you will make your eyebrows darker than usual. .. .

Step 3:
Last Step: Take the Brow Shadow(I actually use eyeshadow instead) and begin to fill in and blend your brows evenly to make them look like they are naturally your own. . . .Trust me it works for me ALL the TIME. . .

Now you see how I applied the "Natural Look" for a Wedding I attended; it looked great and I loved it

.*..This Morning When I Rose..*.

G00D MORNING EVERYONE:

I'm feeling pretty good this morning getting myself ready to go 2 church. . .thank God for waking me up this morning also. . .I'm in a blessed mood and I'm predicting that its going to be a good day for me, myself and I
. . . . . . . . . . . . .

So I did my eyelashes and I think I did pretty good being that they were individual lashes with a flare (medium). . .practice makes perfect is aLL i cAN sAY. .its nothing to it really just like doing your eyeshadow just make them blend in with your own lashes and that will make them look more "NATURAL" like their your own. . .

The lashes I used were by Beautee Sense-Clear-Band (Flare Medium Black)
usually I use either iENVY by KISS or Onyx (aLwAYs mEdIUm bLaCK)

The glue I used were by Ardell-LashTite (Individual Eyelash Adhesive)
or I prefer hair glue either way they will stick and last however long you want them to. . . .

(any KIND of tweezers will get the JOB DONE)

To Remove Lashes: Gently peel off individual lashes, starting at the outer corner. .Remove excess-adhesive with adhensive remover. .or just use a bar of soap like your cleansing your face and they will also come right off like that. .might burn a little bit being that its soap but yu will feel the difference and a relief.. .
