Fabulous Tip of the Day: Plumped Up Nude Lips

Today's Fab Tip:

Want fabulous Brigitte Bardot lips? Here's a great way to get that look.

" 'A nude lipstick will make lips look fuller,' says makeup artist Shehla Shaikh. 'Massage lips with clear balm, then neutralise your natural colour with a little concealer, two shades lighter than your base. Trace your lips' very outer edges with nude liner appropriate to your colouring (the ideal shade for dark skin tones is one that matches the inside bottom lip), then fill lips out with it. Apply glossy lipstick in a similar nude to the centre of your lips. The most flattering nudes always have a little pink in them.' "

Pair with voluminous lashes for a flirty, feminine look.

Fabulous Tip of the Day: Natural Looking Blush

Today's Fab Tip:

Blush can be difficult to do sometimes. A little too much, and you can start to look like a clown or like you're really incredibly embarrassed. Using two shades for blush can make it look much more natural.

"Mimic a natural flush. Swirl peach blush on cheekbones, then add pink to the apples. The diffused combo is so sweet, says celeb makeup artist Kristofer Buckle."

This is great paired with neutral eyes and lips for a no-makeup look.
