Valentine's Day is coming and that means it's time to get your lips ready for kissing. Lips for kissing are naturally soft, smooth, full and have a nice tan. Here we give you 6 tips on how to get kissable lips.
1. Protection comes first – put lip balm, lip gloss or lipstick with an SPF of 30 or higher. Options include scented, flavored, colored, creams, and glazes from many popular brands.
2. Color – choose lipsticks that make your smile pop.
Red – choose the ones with a blue base instead of orange – blue helps soften the yellow in tooth enamel.
Pink – choose pink with a cool undertones instead of coral or orange.
Stay away from matte shades – they can accentuate stains on your teeth and make your teeth dull and lifeless.
3. Let it shine. Put a little shine on the arch of your mouth – it will illuminate the reflection of your teeth.
4. Smooth Them – Dry, chapped lips don't say "kiss me," they scream "fix me!" Put a delicious balm, vaseline or moisturizer on your lips.
5. Keep it fresh. Brushing, flossing and rinsing with mouthwash are definitely a must when it comes to kissing. Put travel-sized oral care products in your bag. Peppermints are also handy to have with you.
6. Your smile is your best accessory – A healthy, beautiful smile is something special to kiss. If yours needs some help, go to the dentist.
