As of late, I’ve been finding it harder and harder to find beauty tips about lips. I can so easily paint on some lipstick that will have my lips full, sensuous and shining for at least five minutes. But what about having more practical goals? What about having a full, sensuous look that will last all day? I don’t mean they type of product that just looks really shiny and tastes good but sticks to everything.

The list below will be your answer if you really want some helpful beauty tips. I tend to use at least one of these tips everyday. This makes them easy to dress up at a moments notice. But, if you want to have the same look all day long then that also works.

* Beauty Tips on Lips #1: Neutral is the way to go - This may mean that you have to buy that ridiculous sticky shiner that comes with it. After using it a while you will see that you like it. So, don’t use the shiny stuff. Just stain your lips with the neutral color. It needs to almost match the natural color of your lips, but can be a shade darker or brighter. So whenever the stain has been on a while you can just cover with chapstick or a favorite gloss. Your lips still appear full and plump even after the covering wears off.

* Beauty Tips for Lips #2: Blend - If you really want to wear really lip stick, but love how lip gloss looks, then mix away. Lip gloss on the top lip and lip stick on the bottom. Rub them together – hard. Now blot. This results in a blended, glossy version of your lipstick that will last much longer than just gloss.

* Beauty Tips for your Lips #3: Keep hydrating - Keep lips plump and luscious by keeping yourself hydrated. It may sound silly, but if you are dehydrated then your lips are the first to show it. When you lick your lips a lot, you also lick your lipstick right off. Drink at least 8 eight-ounce glasses of water (through a straw, of course!) each day and watch your full, fresh lips come alive and stay that way.
