Hot Lips

1. Achieve that perfect lip line–After applying your lipstick, put a bit of foundation on a concealer brush and follow around your lip line, erasing any smudges. Voila: a perfect pout.

2. When to use lip stains–Only use lip stains when your lips are perfectly smooth and you don't have lines around the mouth. To get smooth lips, buff lips with a toothbrush dipped in a little water and sugar. Never rub too hard and always follow with a light balm before the stain.

3. Gloss without the goop–Apply a great lipstick and then dab a bit of gloss only on the inside of the fleshy part of the lower lip. All the shine, none of the mess.

4. For high drama–After applying lipstick or gloss, put a touch of white sheer shimmer powder on the dip of the upper lip and right below the lower lip. Great for evening looks.

5. Wearing red–To get that perfect red lip, lightly apply a pale flesh colored lip liner. Then rub a red lip stain on the lips. Follow with a moisturizing red lipstick. Dry formulas look cakey; super glossy ones slip right off. Avoid red lip-gloss as it gets messy fast.

6. Small lips–Avoid wearing dark colors; they make lips look smaller. Do not draw on a big lip with lip liner. Instead choose light or bright shades of lipstick or gloss with shimmer that catches the light for a magnifying effect.

7. Big lips–Stay away from glossing the whole lip. Apply a little in the center on top and bottom, and then blend with your fingertip across the lips for shine that doesn't overpower your face.

8. Whiter teeth–Brush teeth with a little baking soda. Then choose lip colors in cool tones for an icy-white smile.

9. Liner disasters–Never choose a lip liner darker than your lipstick. If you like to use liner on the whole lip, use a balm first to avoid chunky, uneven, dry color.

10. Bleeding lipstick–Line the lips with a pale flesh colored lip liner then fill with a moisture-rich lipstick with staying power. Avoid glosses as they tend to run.

10 Essential Tips

1) Six months before the big event get a good facial and address problems such as; uneven complexion, blotches from sun exposure, breakouts etc.

2) Get your eyebrows shaped and continue grooming them till your wedding day.

3) Stick to a daily cleansing and moisturizing routine. (I recommend Clinique’s legendary 3 step program which is inexpensive and easy to use).

4) Do not do crush diets, if you needed to loose a weight do a Healthy Cleanse and adapt a meal plan and drink lots of water, your skin will thank you! (check out Health link on the side bar).

5) Don't forget to take your vitamins daily and exercise regularly (it will help relieve stress).

6) Keep going back for more facials every 6 weeks and get the last one 10 days before the wedding.

7) One week before, get your hair trimmed, coloured and treated, do not leave hair services to the last minute.

8) Four days before, get all waxing done.

9) The day before the big day, get a good manicure and pedicure, watch your intake of caffeine and alcohol, and try to go to bed early.

10) On your wedding day eat a good breakfast and relax… this is your day, trust your professionals to pamper you and make you gorgeous.

P.s. Do not forget to Relax and have Fun!
