When Girl Meets 30

Perfectly Plump Red Lips for the Holidays!

December 13, 2011 By Erin Kennedy 3 Comments

Pull off the Perfect Red Lip - How to Plump and Erase Fine Lines
Christina Aguilera, 32

As we get a little older, you may have noticed that some parts of our faces do not look the same as they did a few years ago. Unfortunately our lips start to get a little thinner and may develop some fine lines around them. So how do we make them look pouty and plump for all the holiday parties. Especially when the bright red color lip trend is in full effect.

Erase Fine Lines – If you need to give your lips a youth looking boost there are some products that will help with that anti-aging regime. Hyaluronic acid is a skin smoothing ingredient. Many skin doctors use it to fill the wrinkles around the mouth without needles. It pulls moisture from the air to keep skin soft and smooth. You can get this product at a good price and it will take those lines away! Try Dermae lip repair cream.

Plump Up Those Lips with Highlights – A little bit of makeup and magic can make your lips look plump and beautiful for your holiday parties. Makeup artist Berta Camal has some great advice to flawlessly plump those lips with items that you probably already have in your makeup bag. A few strategically placed highlights can make your lips look full.
Get the look -After you apply your chosen lipstick, dab a high shine gloss on the center of your lower lip. Then dip a lip brush in a highlighter powder and lightly trace along the dip above your upper lip and gently blend in. “These highlights reflect light around your lips, creating the illusion of width.”
 
Shimmer Plumps Up Thinner – When shopping for a new color and you want to go for a fuller look for words on the label such as; moisture, rich or shine. The hydrating emollients in a cream lipstick give a high shine fuller look. A good option is Revlon ColorBurst.

Another option is to look for lipsticks with tiny pearl particles in a shimmer lipstick that attracts light around your lips that make them look fuller and your teeth look more dazzling. Look for words on the lable such as; pearl, metallic, or luminous. Try Maybelline ColorSensational Pearl Lipstick.

Make Your Smile Brighter- If you are in a time crunch and you don’t have days to whiten your teeth, try this smile brightener trick. “Pick shades that have a hint of blue or purple in them to help neutralize the yellowness in your teeth.” says Camal.

    I’ve tried the red lip twice this season. I think I pulled it off fairly well. I am going to buy this lip repair cream because my lips get a little dry during the winter.
