Dear Constant Reader,
I’m on my way to Toronto, but of course I wouldn’t skip your Friday Tip!
To properly prep your pout, use a little lip balm before you put on your lipstick.
Yes, there are expensive lip primers out there, but a touch of your favorite balm will soften lips and fill in the gaps. I make my own, but I’ve heard stylists recommend plain old Chapstick or Blistex.
And don’t forget to exfoliate your lips on a regular basis. I like Sugar Kisses from, who else, Dr. Jen at Atomic Cosmetics, but you could mix up a little white sugar and some oil (I like almond) and use that to exfoliate.
