Getting luscious lips
When you meet someone there are a few things you notice about them. Typically you will notice their earrings, their watch, and their shoes. However, if they have great lips, you will certainly notice that. Great lips are a great impression, and getting luscious lips is not as hard as it may seem. The following are the steps to luscious lips that are sure to catch attention, and look great:
Step one for luscious lips is to stay hydrated. Dried up lips with cracks and flakey skin are far from luscious. So, if you want to get luscious lips you need to do more than just put on some gloss, you have to start from the inside out. Make sure you get sufficient water everyday, that means 8 glasses that are 8 oz. If you are active and expending a lot of water, then you are going to need even more.

Step two for luscious lips is to prep first. Even if you have small lips, you can make them look fuller. First moisturize with a chapstick, lotion, or something, then use a prepper or plumper to give your lips a little boost. You can find several good plumpers with the top lines of makeup, or Arbonne has a great lip plumper, that you can use.
Step three: Choose a lip color that works well with your skin tones. Color is big. What may look good on one person can make someone else look washed out, fake, or like they are trying too hard. So, talk to a makeup artist, or the counter person at the makeup counter at the mall to find out what colors are going to work best with your skin. Then choose a color that works.
Step four: Choose a quality product. It is hard to get luscious looking lips with a 99 cent tube of lip stick. You pay for what you get in the makeup world, most of the time. So, once you know what color you want, then choose a great brand. The better the brand, the longer it will last, and the better it will look. You can try a few out to see which brand you like best.
Step five: Give it an outline. For luscious lips it is a good idea to bring some focus to the area. To do this, you will want to choose a very similar shade of lip liner to your natural lip color. You should outline your lips, then use your finger to smudge inward. This will define the space more.
Step six: Apply the color your choice to your lips with the applicator of choice. You can use a brush, a stick, your finger, just make sure you stay within the lines, and that you get good coverage.
Step seven: To add the final touch to your luscious lips you simply want to brush on a clear gloss to give them a little shine. If you are not much of a color girl, or you would rather have a more subtle look to your luscious lips, then choose a tinted gloss and skip the lip stick step above.
Step eight: Let dry a little before you eat, or anything.
Step nine: Reapply the gloss when needed to freshen the look. The better quality gloss you choose, the less often you will need to reapply.
Step ten: Enjoy the fact that you now have luscious lips. Smile and show them off.
