Bootylicious lips

Do you know how important lips are? How instrumental they can be in the game of attraction? Then play on. Check out some awesome facts about lips.

Facts about lips
Just like fingerprints, lip impressions differ with each individual.

A fervent kiss can help you loose 50 kJ weight by working on 30 muscles.
The Guinness Book of Records, holds that Alfred Wolfram has a world kissing record of kissing as many as 8001 people in eight hours.

There has been so much hubbub about lips and its consequences. That makes lips an essential part of your face. To get delicious and attractive lips you need to follow the tips given below:

Use subdued purples, bronze shades and browns if you have big lips. Such colors do not make your lips look voluptuous, thus considerably reducing the apparent size.
Thin lips require lighter shades and glosses to make it look plump. Avoid the use of dark shades on thin lips.
Apply foundation on your lips, put a lip liner and then apply lipstick. This prevents bleeding of lip color.
Rather than using the stick directly on your lips, use a lip brush to paint your lips. You can considerably reduce the amount of lipstick used.
Blonds can use colors like peach, apricot and corals on their lips. These colors look great on golden hair blondes.
If you sport light blonde hair, wear the shades of wine, mauve and berry. Cappuccino is also a great color for you.
If you have an olive skin tone with blonde hair, use colors like terracotta, peaches and brown.
Peachy brown, terracotta and cinnamon colors go best with red hair people.
Brunettes look best in cinnamon's, tinted reds and terracotta.

For sexy lips
Use shimmer and gloss to make your lips look full and sexy. Light colors, neural shades, pale colors and variations make your lips look kissable and extremely attractive. To provide your pout with the “Angelina Jolie” look, apply silver or shimmering lip gloss on the centre of the lower bud.

For those defining arches of eyebrows

Eyebrows are perhaps the most distinct feature on your face. The curve of your brows defines your eyes. It is said that you can easily dump makeup ans sport a natural look with a perfectly shaped eyebrow. Your eyebrows must be shaped according to your facial features.

Celeb secret

According to Irish makeup artist Donna Fitzpatrick, Catherine Zeta Jones has the best set of eyebrows in entire Hollywood. She confesses that Jones is a natural beauty, but an enhanced eyebrow gives her a polished and unique look. Her looks in the movie “The Darling Buds of May” was a result of grooming her facial contour. She has been neatening for quite long and thus possesses the best eyebrows to die for.

Fitzpatrick recommends proper tweezing to achieve a natural yet groomed look rather than waxing or threading. The tweezers help to produce a better effect and finish. To get a drop-dead-gorgeous eyebrow shape keep the first half of the brows full and taper at the end. The curve of the brow should be right above the pupil. To maintain the shape, brush your brows upwards and remove any extra growth.
