As important as the wedding dress or the hairstyle you choose to go with it, is also the smile you wear on your most special day. However, perfect lips are not achieved from one day to another and, even less, if you do not have incorporated the habit of taking care of them. If you do not know where to start, here we give you the keys and secrets to get to your lip exchange.Remember to always consult with a specialist, especially when it comes to skin care.

Incorporate vitamins into your diet

Whether in winter or summer season, try to consume fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins A, C and E. Vitamin A activates cell growth, epidermal turnover and stimulates the proliferation of collagen. Vitamins C and E, on the other hand, exert an antioxidant action, accentuating skin regeneration by preventing oxidative damage. You will see how your lips stay healthy by incorporating these vitamins into your diet.

Use lip balm

Do it every day. Include a lip balm in your beauty routine and apply it to your lips. The goal of this product is to prevent lips from drying out or chapping by performing four key functions: protect, moisturize, nourish, nourish and repair Choose a lip balm that contains plant extracts such as aloe vera or mimosa, and is free of dyes, fragrances and preservatives.

Take care of them from the sun

The lip area is one of the most sensitive and vulnerable areas of the skin. it is essential to protect them from the sun's radiation. If it's more convenient for you, choose a balm or lipstick that already has the sun factor built in.

Removes make-up

Even if you come back tired after walking all day looking for wedding ornaments and souvernis, never go to bed without removing make-up from your lips Leaving traces of lipstick, which usually include strong pigments, will only cause dryness and cracking. How to remove makeup? You can do it with a makeup remover wipe, facial cleansing milk or micellar water.

Exfoliate your lips

The purpose of exfoliation is to remove dead skin and cells Although there are products available on the market, the most recommended treatments are those with natural ingredients. Exfoliate at least once a week And do it the night before you slip into the lace wedding dress you've already booked. Whichever you choose, apply your exfoliator to your lips, remove it with a brush and wipe it off after a few minutes with a cotton pad. Try one of these options:

  • Mix one tablespoon of honey, one tablespoon of olive oil, two tablespoons of brown sugar and a few drops of essential oil.
  • Mix two tablespoons of coconut oil, two tablespoons of brown sugar and one tablespoon of olive oil.
  • Mix one tablespoon of ground coffee and two tablespoons of olive oil.
  • Mix a tablespoon of salt and a tablespoon of moisturizing essential oil, such as coconut or lavender.
  • Mix one tablespoon of lemon juice, one tablespoon of honey and one tablespoon of white sugar.

Hydrate them

Continuing with the natural tricks, there is another very effective one for moisturize lips with just one aloe vera leaf Thanks to its antioxidants, vitamins and beta-carotene, this plant has a powerful protective, moisturizing and regenerating effect on the tissues. Prepare it like this!

  • Clean the aloe vera leaf with plenty of water to remove dirt.
  • Make a cut on one side, open the leaf and extract the gel inside.
  • With clean hands, place some aloe vera on your index finger and spread it over your lips.

Makeup tricks

Choose the right tone

Your skin colour will be your best guide when choosing the perfect shade. For example, fair-skinned women favor darker colors, from medium intensity to strong, especially highlighting the range from red to purple, or from pale pink to strong pink. For dark skin, however, warm colors are recommended, gold, coral, peach and the range of brown.

In addition, although the complexion is usually more revealing, there are certain guidelines you can follow regarding your hair color For blondes, the right lipsticks are gold, brown, ochre and nude colours. For black or brown-haired women, pinks or purples. And for redheads, oranges, golds and salmon.

Apply primer

Already at the very moment of making up your lips, you should start with the creating a primer with a blending brush with pressed powder Apply an almost invisible layer around the lips and another one on top of them, which will help the natural pigment to fade, leaving you as a blank canvas to make them up With this trick, your lips will last longer in perfect condition and the color will be with you even when you break the wedding cake several hours later.

Outline

Choose a pencil for the outline, that is slightly darker than the color of the lipstick you are going to wear With the pencil in hand, begin to outline the lips in small strokes, placing special emphasis on the V and following the natural contour. This will further define the thickness of your lips and prevent the lipstick from smudging.

Color

When it's time to apply the colour, find a flat brush and dip it into the lipstick, if you want the work to be more precise and uniform. You always have to apply the product from the center of the lip outwards. Spread just the right amount and don't overdo it.

Fixes, reviews and corrects

Next, take a tassel and sprinkle some oil free compact powder on your lips Once applied, apply the lipstick again using the flat brush. Finally, take care to clean the edges and correct any possible stains with a cotton swab.

Finish with gloss

Only if you wish, you can give a greater volume effect to your lips. You can use a clear gloss just to add shine or a gloss in the same colour as your lipstick, which will give you a very professional result.
