ALL THE BETTER TO KISS YOU WITH!

Just like eyes, lips get smaller when you apply dark colors to them. But color is just one piece of the puzzle when it comes to getting a bee-stung effect--the other is texture. A glossy, watery finish reflects light and creates the illusion of grandeur. Gonzalez suggests first outlining the perimeter of your lips using a concealer brush dipped in bronzer two shades deeper than your skin tone: "It yields a more natural result than pencil." Then, top pout with gold, peach, or coral gloss. Used on model: Victoria's Secret Bare Bronze Collection Flawless Glow Face Bronzer and Clinique Full Potential Lips Plump and Shine in Play-Full Plump.
