An Easy Makeup Trick to Voluptuous Lips

You know Angelina Jolie, always walking around with her pretty children and those ridiculous lips of hers? Well, there is exactly one makeup trick that separates a colored lip and a colored voluptuous lip – and it’s a simple, clear gloss. In fact, this beauty tip is so ridiculously easy I wish I had told you all sooner; I especially wanted to tell you now just in case anyone wanted to do a little extra to their lips this holiday and party season.

Here’s what to do: After applying your lipstick, take a clear lipgloss and dab a tiny amount of gloss to the center of your bottom lip … Seriously, that’s it. This gives the illusion that it is fuller, and leaves a full colored lip looking a bit ‘alive’ as opposed to flat and one-toned.

(Also, if you’d like a lipgloss recommendation, I love the Clinique’s Full Potential and Bare Escentuals’ Buxom Lips.)

Have you ever tried this tip? It really does make a subtle difference, don’t you think? I also doesn’t look like you have full lip gloss on, but gives a tiny bit of that extra va-va-voom.
