Always wanted that sexy pout? Well, you can learn a new makeup technique that will help you get fuller lips: lip contouring! Start by lining the outside of your lips in a darker shade and fill the inside with a lighter shade of the same colour. Pat on some blush in the centre and you’re good to go rock your sexy pout!
7. Invest in good skincare products
