We are all born with strengths and weaknesses. Unfortunately sometimes, what we have isn’t exactly what we want. For example, I was bestowed with naturally curly hair that I straighten on a daily basis. Every hair dresser I go to, however, insists on defusing it when they dry it to maximize the curly wonder. On the other hand, I was also born with very thin boring lips, but you would never know! What is my beauty secret?

Beauty Tip #1:  Condition your lips! In order to achieve the end result, you must first start with the skin itself. Make sure you use lip balm every day as part of your beauty routine to prevent dry, cracked lips.

Beauty Tip #2:  Start with a base! Treat your lips exactly like the skin around them. Using your regular foundation start with a thin layer and top that off with a little powder for a good foundation.

Beauty Tip #3:  Make them larger! Using a liner that compliments your lip color, outline your lips just beyond your lip line to increase the size just a little.

Beauty Tip #4:  Fill Them In! Using a brush, fill your lips in with a metallic lipstick of your liking.

Beauty Tip #5:  Finish with Gloss! Add the finishing touch – gloss – to add depth and the appearance of fuller lips.

No matter what your beauty challenge, always remember with a little research you can find the beauty secrets and advice you need to turn your weakness into the strength you’ve always wanted.
