Beauty hacks for luscious lips
Make-up artist and CB12 ambassador, Gemma Aldous, gives us her top three hacks for luscious lips.
Scrub them
Exfoliate your lips weekly to uncover soft lips. Try mixing up a homemade concoction of sugar and honey - the sugar works to remove the dead skin, while the honey hydrates to give you a perfect pout
Moisturise
Use lip balm, baby oil or even coconut oil to moisturise your lips twice a day, especially before bed. Try to avoid petroleum based products as they can dry out your lips
Seal your lips
Press your lips onto a tissue after applying lipstick to remove any excess and help push more colour onto the lip. Follow this with a small dusting of translucent powder over the top to help keep your lippie in place, no matter how much kissing you might partake in…
