Those who have mastered the magic of makeup are not interested in cardinal interventions in appearance like injections or tattooing. Lena Temnikova, one of the most stylish Russian artists, is a good example. Subscribers have repeatedly tried to convict the singer that she "made lips." But Temnikova assures that the matter is in the right makeup, and boldly experiments with shape and volume. Heroine has compiled step-by-step instructions on how to give your lips an attractive sensuality.
Step 1: exfoliate
Make sure to exfoliate your lips before applying lipstick. It is advisable to do this the night before so that they have time to recover if redness occurs.
I love rubbing my lips with a dry towel to buff dry skin, but you can use the tip of a toothbrush to gently brush your lips, says Hannah Martin, Ambassador for European Make Up for Ever. - If your lips are especially dry, first soften them with a lip balm and leave to soak into the skin for five minutes.
You can make your own lip scrub with a comfortable grain. The classic recipe is honey with sugar. You can add mint, cinnamon, ginger to it, but be careful with spices - the skin of the lips is very thin and easily irritated. Apply the scrub with gentle, circular motions, then rinse your lips with water.
Step 2: Hide and underline
You can create the desired visual effect with the right makeup. Apply concealer around the edge of your lips. Draw the upper contour, aka "Cupid's bow" with a concealer on a tone lighter than your foundation, highlighter or reflective concealer. This will give the illusion of a complete lip contour.
Step 3: align the outline
Use a lip liner to match your lipstick. If you want to increase the volume, bring it just above the contour, but make sure that the pencil repeats the natural line of the lips and creates a shape that is harmonious for your face. With exaggeration of the contour, you need to be very careful, overdo it - and the lips will get a very unnatural look. When the eyeliner is ready, shade with a pencil the space between the drawn contour and the natural line of the lips.

Cinema is not just an aesthetic pleasure, but also a source of inspiration for creating luxurious and feminine images for every day.
Step 4: apply lipstick
You can use one lipstick, but it is better to use two to increase volume. They should be the same color, but one tone darker than the other. Apply the darkest to the outer corners of the lips and the lightest in the middle to create a subtle ombre effect. As for color, opinions differ. Previously, to increase volume, it was recommended to avoid dark colors, but with the effect of fading and the correct use of highlighter and concealer, any shade looks advantageous.
Step 5: add shine
Full lips are impossible without gloss. Take a translucent gloss and apply over the lipstick from the middle to the very contour. It will create the effect of super plump lips. Gloss can be used without lipstick, especially since glossy lips have again replaced matte lips this season.
