Six Steps to Kissable Lips by Valentine's Day!

Who doesn’t want to be more kissable, especially at Valentine’s Day? Here are some tips from my friend Susan Levy that brides, bridesmaids, moms and friends alike can use!

 
 
Exfoliate: use a fragrance-free lip mask to gently rub away the dead skin from the lips

Moisturize: apply a fragrance-free lip balm to soothe lips

Prime: apply lip primer over lip balm and let it dry. This will keep the lipstick from bleeding and lipstick will last longer

Define: use lip liner in a matching color to the lipstick to define the lips. Start at the middle of the top lip, drawing an “m”. Then line each side. On the bottom lip start in the middle and then line each side. Draw the liner along the natural outline of the lip.

Color: apply lipstick or tinted lip balm. 

Shine: apply clear or tinted lip gloss. Not only does lip gloss add shine, it also moisturizing the lips and lips appear fuller.
