SMALL LIPS

Make the most of small lips by using light to midtone shades that contain a pearly shimmer. Start by highlighting the Cupid’s bow (that little dip on the top lip) and under the lower lip with a bit of white highlight shimmer. This picks up light and frames the shape of your lips to make them stand out. Next, apply a light lip color that glows. Avoid really dark shades and matte finishes; they cause your sweet smile to recede.

You can also intensify your lips’ impact by first applying a midtone lipstick with a hint of shimmer, then adding a dab of sparkling lip gloss to the center of the lower lip.

If you want to play with reds or deeper hues, go for sheer lipsticks, glosses, or tinted balms for a chic slash of color!
