·         To give fullness to thin lips, apply foundation over the entire lip area and then outline with your lip pencil, just beyond the natural line of the lips. Fill in with lip color in a bright shade, or use plenty of gloss.

To play down full lips, apply foundation and then pencil your line just inside the natural lip line. Avoid glosses or bright colors, and blot off any extra sheen.

Make droopy lips more cheerful by covering the lip corners with concealer. Then use a lip pencil to extend the corners of the lip upward, and fill in with color.

If only your top or bottom lip lacks fullness, draw your line just outside your natural lip line on the thinner lip. Then fill in the area of the full lip with a darker color than you use on the thin one.

To make your lips plumper and more pouting, apply color over all but the very center of the lips. Fill in the center with a lighter, more shimmering color, but don't make the difference too obvious.

As you get older, the natural lip line becomes less well defined and is complicated by wrinkle lines running into the lip shape. A hard pencil and a good lipstick coating will help stop the color seeping beyond the lips themselves.

To remove lipstick, always use cold cream to remove lipsticks as this will help to soften and condition lips. After removing lipstick, always dab on a bit of moisturizer.
