| Luscious lips Lips are often neglected in a beauty regime. You slick on your lipstick and forget about the drying, chapping and damage that can occur just from even venturing outside! Here are a few lip-care tips that should leave them moisturised and feeling and looking lovely! To make lipstick last longer, use a pressed powder between lipstick coats. To slough away flaky lips, gently rub a soft toothbrush over the lips and apply vaseline or a lip balm. Always use lips balms containing SPF protectants. You can always use your balm as a gloss over your lipstick for extra protection. How not to apply your make-up "The mask. Poorly matched, generally orangey and matte-looking foundation that stops at the jaw line is wrong!" The fix: "Choose three colours closest to your skin tone, try them on your jaw line - not your wrist! - and, if you can, get into some natural light and choose the shade that is closest to your skin." The faux pas: "Unblended eye shadow. It's only good for drag queens and showgirls." The fix: "Start with just a little colour and build it up using a soft brush. Less is more, and easier to work with. If youre having trouble getting it to blend, use a lighter colour over a hard edge [to disguise the seam]." The faux pas: "Lip liner darker than lipstick. Oprah Winfreys make-up artist once said that the only women who suit this look are women with very dark skin." The fix: "Choose either a liner close to your lipstick/gloss colour or a nude shade close to your lip colour blend it into your lips before you apply your gloss or lippie."
