Everyone wants a perfect pout, but few of us can achieve it without any help. These tips will help you make your lips softer and better defined, resulting in luscious lips that are the perfect complement to your overall look:
Moisturize
It’s easy for your lips to become dry and chapped in Arizona’s arid climate. Lip balms and conditioners can help smooth and comfort your lips while adding some much-needed moisture and protection from the sun.
Exfoliate
Dead skin cells can accumulate on your lips, giving them a dry, dull, appearance and feel. To exfoliate, use a soft, damp toothbrush (a children’s toothbrush works well) or a damp washcloth to gently rub your lips.
Use lip liner
Lip liner was in, and then out … and, you guessed it, now it’s back in. Well-applied lip liner can help create a perfect pout with the following steps:
- Blend a concealer one shade lighter than your regular shade around your mouth
- Trace your bottom lip before your top, smiling so your lip is stretched, and follow your natural shape and lip line
- Add another ring of liner
- Fill the entire lip in with the same pencil
- Blend using a lip brush
Lip fillers
As we age, our lips become thinner, and the Cupid’s bow in the middle of our top lip becomes flattened and less prominent. Lip fillers can help create a perfect pout, utilizing hyaluronic acid to achieve safe, effective results. It’s present in products like Juvederm and Restylane, and our professional, trained staff can work with you to achieve a look that’s just right.
TNS Lip Plump System
This two-step system is from SkinMedica, which makes medical-grade skincare products that can only be sold through its website or physicians’ offices that are authorized retailers (like us). The TNS Lip Pump System can be applied throughout the day to moisturize and plump your lips.
