Valentine’s day is just around the corner so whether you’re planning a smooching marathon with your boyf or  a first date kiss with your latest crush, you’re gonna want your pout looking perfectly kissable. Check out our 5 top tips on how to get luscious lips that no lad can resist!

 

Top 5

     

    1.     If your lips are a tad chapped and dry then you’re gonna have to exfoliate. The best way to do this is using a super soft toothbrush. Wet the brush and gently brush your lips in a circular motion, this will get rid of any dry flakey areas.

    2.     Moisturizing is the key! Invest in a rich moisturizing lip balm and apply straight after exfoliating and also last thing at night.

    3.     A handy lip balm should be an essential part of your make-up kit so you can reapply throughout the day to keep your pout smooth and soft. Make sure it contains SPF to protect your lips from the sun, this is important during the Summer months but also Winter too as the suns rays can still be harmful even when it’s feeling chilly!

    4.     Don’t scare the boys off with dark gothic black lips or a Valentine’s shade of red – keep it nice ‘n simple with a girly soft pink shade. Stay away from super sticky gloss too, no lad wants to be left with sticky lips after a smooch!

    5.     If your lips are looking lush but his need abit of work, why not casually hand him your moisturizing lip balm after you’ve applied some yourself, hopefully he’ll take the hint and sneakily buy some himself! Wishful thinking!
