Looking for a way to get plumper lips?
Try LipFusion!
Tiny, dehydrated, marine collagen micro spheres are instantly absorbed and utilized by the lip tissue, and seek out the body's natural moisture to instantly "plump up" your lips with your own bodily fluid. As soon as the spheres become re-hydrated, they plump and hold onto the moisture they've collected, creating a mild "swelling" of the lip tissue. The result is fuller, smoother, perfectly plumped lips in seconds. This product is hydrating and smooth unlike other lip plumpers that use cinnamon and other drying ingredients. We also like that this product works all day!!!

Nude Glossy Lips
Achieving this look...
Pairing a nude lip with a dark smokey eye is one of our favorite Hollywood looks, and always perfect for special occasions and festive nights!
Achieving this look can be a little tricky and definitely takes practice and trial runs.
Philosophy Behind the Nude Lip
1. Know your skin tone. It's impossible to match a picture each and every time and have the same fabulous result as a celebrity. It's important to understand what shades and textures to use to achieve the best look for you.
2. Lip liner is your friend, but must be used gingerly and should match or slightly enhance your skin tone. Please, PLEASE so not use a lip liner 25 shades darker than your lip color and then fill in the lip with a nude gloss. This look was horrid in the 90's and still is. Find a lip liner and gloss that are in the same color family, 1-2 shades apart at most.
3. Pair the gloss hues and undertones with the rest of the look. For example, if your shadows and blush are in gold warm tones, don't go with a silver shimmer on the lip, look for a subtle coral, gold or peach gloss to compliment the warm tones of your look.
4. Stay away from too much frost in this look. Subtle shimmer can be fabulous, but significant "white" frost will overpower the eye and detract from the look.
5. Remember, the nude lip is to be subtle, supple and glossy, but not in competition with the striking eye.
How to:
1. Be sure the lips are properly primed. Always remember to exfoliate the lips (gently) and keep the supple with a lip balm overnight.
2. After your foundation, eyes, cheeks, brows and everything else is complete, turn to the lips. Waiting until all other components are together will guide you as to the intensity of your lip color.
3. Lightly line the lips with the liner and very sparingly fill in the lip with the liner, remembering that the liner is only 1-2 shades darker than the skin. There should be a slight definition, but not an obvious line.
4. Smudge the liner over the lips to create an even base tone across the upper and lower lip.
5. Now it's time to add the gloss over both top and bottom lips.
6. For an extra punch, add a gloss in a silver or gold shimmer to the very center of the bottom lip. This little extra shimmer will catch the light and create the illusion of a fuller bottom lip. PREACTICE this before running out of the house with a big glob of silver gloss on your bottom lip, but when you master this technique it really adds a nice finish.
