How to Have Plumper, Healthier Megan Fox/Angelina Jolie Lips!



Angelina Jolie: Unparalleled Lip Beauty Icon


Are you jealous of Angelina Jolie’s full and oh-so kissable lips? Want plump and sexy lips like Megan Fox or a Victoria’s Secret Angel? While not everyone is blessed with lusciously perfect lips, these helpful and easy-to-do tips will show you how to develop and take care of those smackers!


Tip#1: Condition and Exfoliate
One of the most basic things you can do to develop prettier  lips is to condition and exfoliate them every night before going to bed. Use a toothbrush dipped in warm water and gently rub your moist lips with the damp bristles. This will remove dead skin cells, leaving your lips smooth and flawless. Lip products will glide on better the following morning!


Tip#2: Moisturize
Nobody likes seeing dry chapped lips so always be sure to keep lip balm or lip moisturizer handy! The best time to moisturize your lips (and skin) is right after exfoliating since the moisture encourages skin regeneration, keeping your little pouter pretty and healthy!


Tip#3: Home Recipes



You can use ingredients found in the most bare of kitchens that can definitely make your lips gorgeous. Sugar or salt can be used as lip scrubs (rub them on your pouters gently and slowly) while eating raspberries and getting the juices on your lips provide natural fruit color that looks like a store-bought lip-stain product! Make sure you aren’t allergic to these ingredients beforehand as some people have allergies to certain types of berries.


Tip#4: Lip Plumpers



The beauty industry now has tons of  products that specifically focus on making your lips ripe-looking and voluminous. Lip plumpers have distinct ingredients that produce a slight burning sensation which will give you nice, swollen, and oh-so-kissable lips. Try them and see what works perfectly for you. Department stores usually stock these lip plumpers as with most drugstores today as well.

 


Tip#5: Makeup Techniques

If all else fails, makeup is the sure way to go. Using nude lipstick shades and glosses give the illusion of fuller lips as lighter shades reflect more light than darker ones. Gloss is also a fabulous trick to try as they add volume, dimension, and hydration to otherwise unhealthy-looking thin lips! 
Tip: Add extra gloss on the center of your lower lips to give the illusion of more volume.


The pursuit of beautiful and sexy full lips may go too far with women resorting to cosmetic surgery. We rarely see celebrities who come out looking better after having lip-plumping cosmetic procedures. They usually come out looking so obviously fake! However, with these tips, we’re sure you won’t have to go through those measures to achieve that gorgeous, kissable look!

He attended The Parsons School of Design where he won the Perry Ellis Gold Thimble Award, the Chester Weinberg Godl Thimble Award, and the Design Student of the Year Award all in 1984, at the very young age of 21. 



While still in school, Marc Jacobs tried his hand in creating and selling his own line of hand-knit sweaters which was the start of it all. After which, he had a stint with the brand Perry Ellis but was shortly dismissed after designing a certain grunge collection for the line.
