  Here are a few simple tricks and handy
how-tos that can help you make the most
of your beautiful smile. Size 'em up, size
'em down—create the lips you've always
wanted!

  To Make Lips Look Fuller
Pick a lipstick and lipliner in matching
shades—choose lighter colors, since
darker tones can make lips appear
smaller. Use your lip pencil to define lips.

Go to the outermost edge of lips but no
further—do not go outside the natural lip
line. Then fill in entire area with lipliner.
This will "hold" lipstick longer. Apply your
lipstick over lipliner.

  To Make Lips Look Wider
Instead of plumping up thin lips, try
accentuating your mouth's wonderful
width! Use a liner that perfectly matches
your lipstick and line the extreme edges
of lips, extending out to corners. Fill in
with lipstick color, then top with gloss on
middle of lips only.

  To Make Lips Look Thinner
Trace inside the natural lip line, and fill in
with your lipstick. Picking a matte shade
will also make lips appear smaller.

  To Add Natural Definition
Give your lips a strong line using a neutral
colored pencil, then fill in with a sheer
gloss blended gently to the edges by a
few strokes of the lip brush. The result is
naturally shimmery and moist-looking
lips.

  Get your perfect brow arch and
shape in just a few simple steps.
You’ll be amazed how finding your perfect
arch and creating a nicely-opened eye
area can change your appearance. Here’s
how:

  1. Look straight into the mirror. Hold a
pencil vertically against one nostril. See
where the pencil meets your brow? That's
where your brow should start. Tweeze in
the middle between there and the other
brow.

 
   2. Next, pluck only from beneath the
brow and remove any obviously stray
hairs.

  3. To get the right arch, angle the pencil
to the outer side of your pupil, with the
eraser end at the side of your nostril, and
the top just past the middle of your eye.
The spot where the pencil hits the brow
is where the top of the arch should be,
about three-quarters of the way out.
Create a line that tapers upwards to this
point. Repeat on the other side.

  4. Next, angle the pencil so it aligns with
the outer corner of the eye. Where it hits
the brow is where the eyebrow should
end. At this point, it should taper slightly
down.

  5. Now, use your Brow & Eyemakers
Pencil with very light, feathery strokes to
fill in gaps along the entire brown line.

Pro Tip: If you have long brow hairs, trim
them with manicure scissors to keep
them looking neat. It’s a good idea to
trim before you tweeze; it will help you
see the natural shape of your brow and
locate where individual hairs fall.

  Once again the classic black and white trend made its comeback in fashion. Whether horizontal, vertical, thin, thick,
black and white or in living colour, stripes
make a graphic statement, day or night.
And while we cant think of a time when
stripes weren’t in, they are certainly back
in a big way.

   The trendy combination could be seen on any outfit. Just remember to style it, love it and wear it right!.

  One of the biggest trend this season goes to fit and flare dresses. I'm so in love with this trend because this little dress fits my body type perfectly. The flattering dress is fitted through the bodice then flares out into a fuller skirt.

  This dress fits every girl! Giving you a slimmer figure, it is certainly a must have in every girl's wardrobe.

  Red lipstick remain the no. 1 versatile lipwear in fashion and seen it never goes out of style, it is a well known classic. Though most women feel they cannot pull it off,they are wrong. The secret to the right red is finding the one that suit your skin tone and not going overboard with the rest of your makeup.

  Rule No. 1: The secret lies in the rest
of your face
The paler the skin, the bigger the pop. If
you're going the red lips route, you're
going to have to stay light on the rest of
your makeup or risk looking like a clown.
Cameron Diaz made this fatal mistake
years ago at the 2007 Golden Globes.
Skip eyeliner and go only for mascara
(black for brunettes, brown for blondes
and redheads), making sure to apply to
bottom lashes, which will open up your
eyes. Dust face with powder and cheeks
with a soft blush .

 
  Rule No. 2: Line inside of lips
Red lipstick tends to bleed, so fill in lips
with lip liner first, suggests makeup artist
Ashunta Sheriff in Harper's Bazaar.

  Rule No. 3: Don't let nails clash
No need to go matchy-matchy with red
nails and red lips. It's just a bit too
vampy. I prefer non-red nail polish when
you're going red on the lips. A clear
polish or light color is cool, and dark
polish is a trend that shows no sign of
going away anytime soon. If you want to
go red on the nails, make sure the color
matches your lips.

  Rule No. 4: Pick the right shade
There are all sorts of confusing rules
regarding choosing the right shade for
your skin tone. The magazine are always
suggesting tips such as "A real red with a
tiny bit of blue in it suits most people."
But how in the world can you tell if a red
color has a tiny bit of blue in it? Then
there's the advice that if your complexion
is pink, you'll look better in plum shades,
while girls with yellow tones are flattered
by warmer reds that have a brown base,
according to celebrity makeup artist
Jemma Kidd in Harper's. Huh? My
suggestion is to try a bunch of shades and
pick the one that looks best on you,
period. A gorgeous color on almost
everyone is MAC's "Blaze" pictured here.

  Rule No. 5: Choose lighter shades if
you are older
Our lips thin as we age and dark lips can
accentuate them. To keep lips from
looking too severe, try a rosy red or avoid
red lips altogether and opt for a neutral
shade, playing up your eyes instead.

  Rule No. 6: Blending is in
Few makeup artists stick to one shade of
any lipstick, they tend to blend a few to
create the perfect colors. If you've
bought a red lipstick shade that's too
bright, dark or whatever, don't throw it
away. Instead, experiment with other
lipstick shades you have on hand to create
the perfect shade of red.
