The Best Make Up for a
Perfect Pout
If your best make up is always spoiled by thin dry lips with
no definition then you probably need a new technique! The cosmetic industry is spoiling us with lipsticks and glosses that boast anti aging ingredients, moisturizers, anti-fade colour, plumping ingredients and light reflecting shimmer.
All we need for a perfect pout. So let's look at choosing the right ones and how to apply them to get the best results Colours are of course abundant and we look longingly at the vibrant deep berries and reds. But the deeper colours emphasise thinner lips and are likely to bleed into the thin lines around the mouth. The beautiful nude shades are prone to leaving you looking washed out. 
Which Way To Go?
It's the "Pinks" in every hue from peach to pretty that are the best make up for lips and mature faces. Choose a creamy texture with all the anti aging, plumping, anti fade properties and a lip lining brush or pencil a few shades lighter. Yes lighter! The lip liner brush or softest pencil is for outlining the lips to enhance the contour and prevent lipstick from running into tiny lines around your mouth.
It was never meant to be seen!
Lips with dark lines around them are not attractive and only highlight the lack of definition. Loss of volume is a common problem as we get older but don´t worry there are lots of ways to enhance thin lips today. 
Pencils & Primers! If your lip color frays into an uneven line you might want to try using a make up primer on your lips before applying lipstick. These are quite new products and are often considered unnessesary BUT they are the best make up tip for older skin! Try an inexpensive primer and experiment with the effect.. you won't be sorry. I have much thinner lips now and I find using a softer colour means I can trace slightly over the natural line enhancing the shape. Fill in with the pencil, like colouring in a book and then apply lipstick with the lip brush. A make up artist's trick will ensure that your lipstick lasts until very late! This Pierre Cardin Giant Pencil Coffret contains 3 Matt Lipstick Pencils and 3 Shiny Lipstick Pencils. The colors are gorgeous and they are soft and easy to use. If this luxury is not for you at the moment find a big soft lip pencil on your super market shelf and just practice! Any of you who read my pages regularly know I love Liz Arden ceramides so it follows that I think this is the very best make up for mature lips. Ceramide Plump Perfect Lipstick  Cost a little bit more but I get skin care and lipstick in one! Lots of the right pinks too! If you like more shimmer add a dot of lip gloss to the centre of the bottom lip and...voila! Angelina who? 
This more subtle technique for lips means you can go for a stunning eye make up effect. Use colours and products that are kind to less than perfect eyelids and avoid the glittery mistakes that age instantly. Eyebrows should never be neglected.

Remember to keep your lips exfoliated regularly and moisturized with a special lip moisutrizer or eye cream. Soft supple lips look younger and much more attractive.
