Valentine's day is right around the corner and one of my top priorities is to make sure I have soft, kissable lips. But unfortunately, it is still Winter and if you're like me, you are probably fighting off having them feel chapped on the daily! Lucky for you, I've listed below three steps to achieve smooth kissable lips in no time.
STEP ONE: Exfoliate!
There's no need to go out and buy product after product to exfoliate your lips. If you want to make them smoother, you can easily exfoliate at home using two ingredients you probably already have: sugar and olive oil.
STEP TWO: Pick a shade.
I love a bold lip, but the shade of lipstick you choose will depend a lot on your skin tone, the colour of your eyeshadow (if you choose to wear it) as well as the colour of your outfit. I've picked three of my favourite red shades that would look perfect for a night out with your sweetheart on Valentine's Day.
STEP THREE: Lock it in.
If you have trouble with lipstick transferring easily, the internet is full of tips and tricks regarding how to seal in your lip colour. My preferred method for super long lasting lipstick involves a couple of extra accessories: tissues and translucent powder.
Don't let chapped lips get you down this Valentine's Day! Follow the steps above, alter them as you see fit, and give yourself (and your significant other) the gift of perfectly kissable lips!
