Get Luscious Lips

Q: I want my lips to appear fuller. What makeup should I use?

A: Making thin lips look fuller is one of the easiest beauty problems to solve -- the right makeup can work wonders on your pout. First step: Moisturize your lips. Use Vaseline or lip balm, and let it sink in for a few minutes. Then choose a slightly iridescent shade of lip color (matte colors make thin lips look thinner, as do very dark colors) and apply it to your lips with a lip brush. Next, take a lip pencil in the exact shade of the lip color and carefully line lips on the outside edge of your lip line (not outside your lips -- that always looks ridiculous). Use your finger or a Q-tip to soften the line. A final touch: A dab of clear or tinted gloss in the center of your bottom lip finishes the look.

How You Should Really Wash Your Face

When it comes to facial cleansing, there are two schools of thought: old-fashioned soap-and-water or every-bell-and-whistle-at-the-beauty-counter. Turns out, neither is right.
