Whenever you do a make-up look, there is always going to be a focal point. Sometimes this might be the skin, if you are going for a glowy look, or maybe the eyes if you have a bold cat-eye look.
When it comes to making the lips the focal point of your look, there are a few things you can do to make your lips look perfect.
Keep your lips healthy

In order for your lipstick to look great, it needs a good base. Keeping your lips healthy comes through several habits. Firstly, drinking lots of water will keep your lips from drying out and cracking.
There are a few products you can use to keep your lips healthy-looking. Lip balm and lip scrubs will keep your lips smooth and moisturised.
There are plenty of different options when looking for these products, but any that include vitamin E will boost the health of your lips, making them look great.
Lip liner
Lipliners have several benefits. Lip liners are used to make the outer edges of your lips more even, and fill in any gaps there may be, or asymmetry. Then, when you apply lipstick, your lips will look more symmetrical and have cleaner lines.
This isn’t the only thing lip liner can be used for though. If you like the fuller look, you can use lip liner to over draw your lips, making them look bigger than they actually are. Really, you can use lip liner to make whatever shape you like out of your lips – whether that’s a stronger cupids bow, or a heavier bottom lip.
This is not to say that you should change your lips shape or that there is one way that lips look best. In fact, your lips are beautiful no matter how they look; thinner, fuller, all lips look great if you have confidence in them!
Lip liner is also useful to make your lipstick stay in place for longer, ensuring that your lips look perfect all day or night long.

Lipstick is where things can get really fun. Lipstick is easy to apply, as long as you are careful, pay attention, and follow the line your lip liner has already created.
For the best looking lips, choose the right lipstick colour for you. Certain colours will look better with certain skin colourings. It’s also key to keep your outfit in mind – you don’t want a clashing colour!
Smile
The best way to make your lips shine is by smiling.
Some people are insecure about their smile, which is such a shame, because smiling is a sign of joy. For those who might be insecure about their smiles, there are a few things you can do that might raise your confidence. Keeping a regular dental health routine and visiting the dentist regularly can ensure your teeth are in their best shape. Then, practicing good behaviours, like not covering your mouth when you smile, should work to reduce your insecurity.
Remember, your lipstick will make your smile stand out for all the good reasons, so there’s no need to feel insecure!
