Put down the bright red lipstick and step away from the lip liner -- natural-looking, dewy lips are the key to a fresh, fabulous face. Not only are glossy lips simple to create, they flatter every skin type and tone. Dewy, youthful lips begin with exfoliation and end with a simple gloss, so you'll have no problem achieving this flattering look at home. Play up the shiny lips with mascara and eye shadow, or go for a totally natural look.
1.
Exfoliate your pout by smoothing on a gentle lip scrub, which removes any flakes and dry skin. Massage a damp toothbrush and a little sugar over your lips in a circular motion as another exfoliation option.
2.
Smooth a balm containing moisturizing Shea butter over your lips to soften and prime them for the gloss. Don't worry if you don't have lip balm on hand -- a dab of hand lotion or olive oil works just as well.
3.
Add soft color to your lips for a sweet, subtle look. Choose a pink lipstick or stain in a mauve or rose color that best matches your natural lip color.
4.
Apply clear or soft-pink lip gloss to your index finger so you can control the application and avoid an overly glossy look. Smooth the gloss onto your lips for a natural, dewy look.
