Get The Perfect Angelina Jolie's Pout In These Easy Steps

We all love full, pouty lips, Angelina Jolie style! But there are really two ways to get this, it’s either natural or done cosmetically (this involves needles, Ouch!).

Fillers are risky. It takes an extremely skilled injector to make your lips appear fuller conservatively, while retaining the natural shape of your lips. You cannot afford for anything to go wrong because its right in the middle of your face! If anything goes wrong, there goes a lot of …you and we have seen a couple of celebrities injections go wrong, they are not pretty sights!

The needle is not your only option to get fuller lips if you happen not to have them, there is equally an option of a lip plumper that gives your lip a little boost as they appear fuller. The lip plumper however has irritable characteristics.

But make-up has become a substitute for highlighting and creating illusions of features we are lacking. With make up, a crooked nose could be straightened, cheekbones are created and lips can be made to appear fuller!

Now, the general rule is that anything highlighted comes forward and anything shadowed will recede. Keeping this in mind and using a combination of both the technique below will make the center of your lips appear bigger and more pronounced and of course that pout!

You need the following:

A light nude makeup pencil (typically a multi-purpose pencil or a concealer pencil)

A nude/blush lip pencil just a hair darker than your natural lip color

A sheer lipstick or nude gloss

Directions:

There you have your fuller pout, Angelina Jolie style.
