Full Sexy Lips

Without the Hassle of Cosmetic Surgery

 



For a fuller healthy lip line, you need to first exfoliate them. Using a lip exfoliator wet your lips and apply a slow circular motion to remove dead skin cells revealing a smooth healthy luster.
Secondly a lip liner that matches the skin tone of your lips should be applied outlining your lips to create a visibly wider lip area. Make sure you do not apply the liner to the corners of your lips as this will cause your lip line to close in. Using your finger, apply the finishing touch by smudging the lip liner over the out edge of your lips.

Thirdly you will apply a thin line of liquid or gel highlighter on the upper and lower pucker or cupids bow. This will redirect light reflections off of your lips and add a shadowing affect that will enhance the curvy area.
The final touch is to apply a natural lip color to the rest of your lip area and apply a small amount of lip gloss to the center of your lower lip and instantly you have fuller sexier lips without the pain and hassle of artificial cosmetic surgery practices.

A healthy complexion and care will give you the appearance of confidence and a fun sexy outlook. You will feel better about yourself and others will respond to you in a more positive and open manner. Remember people will pass their first impression of you after their first glance. This impression takes time to change. It is much easier to portray the look you want and leave the correct impression the first time.

Perfect, Sexy Lips - Do You Long For A Sexy Pout?

Who needs a sexy pout? My answer to that question would be almost 100%. Many women and some men desire to have fuller lips because poutier lips make them feel sexier and more alluring. More and more people are willing to spend a fortune on acquiring an 'Angelina Jolie' type of pout. Women are not the only ones who desire softer and fuller lips. Men with thin and hard lips portray a steely attitude that tends to put off women and plumping up the lips a bit makes men look more boyish, attractive and younger!

The size and shape of one's lips are genetically determined. Lips become thinner as one ages because as the man or woman ages the volume of the soft tissue dissipates and thus the tissues shrink. Lips have a generous amount of collagen and Hyaluronic acid which get depleted as one ages leading to thinner lips. Thus the lips become less attractive and vertical lines begin to invade the lips making one look prehistoric! To counter the thinning of lips various modalities of treatments are available.
One of the most common methods of lip enhancement or augmentation is the use of injectable fillers. Various fillers are available, some approved by the USFDA and some not. This method of treatment can be relatively expensive as one needs repeat sessions with a cosmetologist to maintain the fullness of the lips. The earlier fillers needed skin testing to rule out allergic reactions as they were primarily from animal sources. The more modern fillers are all synthetic and do not need skin tests. The most common side effects of these fillers are procedure-related and include bruising, swelling and redness. An alternative to fillers is the use of implants which are inserted into the lips. Some patients complain that their lips become hard and not soft and supple after insertion of implants. Infection, migration of the implants and asymmetry of the lips are common complications. A new technique is fat transfer in which the patient's own fat from the abdomen, thighs or waist is implanted into the lips. This is a safe modality of treatment but the fats do get absorbed thus deflating the lips eventually. However results are encouraging and patients do appreciate a more natural lip fullness that lasts longer than the fillers.

For patients' who are averse to surgery or using fillers there is a solution available - Topical preparations. These preparations contain a mild irritating agent like camphor, menthol or niacin which serves to dilate the blood vessels and also cause a mild inflammation that then translates into increased lip fullness. However beware of several fake products that are available which promise you the moon and leave you in a rage! An ideal preparation should be able to do two things very importantly: Moisturize the lips from inside out and stimulate the blood flow. The added convenience of being able to use the lip enhancement cream or gel whenever needed makes them an ideal choice over other expensive procedures like collagen injections or lip implants.
