When applying lipstick begin by applying a little foundation or concealer over your lips as this both masks the natural lip line so that you can correct the shape of the mouth and provides a good base for lipstick, ensuring that the colour will be 'true' and last even longer.

Even if it's only the first application of the day, use a lip brush because you can fill in all the tiny lip creases with colour. This also makes it last longer.

Think bright and light to emphasise the lips and bring them forward. A bright colour will emphasise a great mouth but will also draw attention to less than perfect lips.

Neutral lipsticks will minimise the impact of a very full mouth and a very dark shade can make thin lips look even smaller.

A matt finish absorbs light and slightly downplays the mouth giving a sophisticated, natural finish but for a full, sexy mouth use a pearl lipstick or a slick of gloss to reflect the light, making lips appear larger.

A gold highlight in the middle of your lower lips creates a full, sexy pout.
