What’s your favorite feature? Eyes? Lips? Both? I am not sure which one is more important, but lips definitely deserve your attention. Pretty lips are already half of beauty, let’s get busy!
Thin, flat lips
If you have naturally thin lips and I mean by it, you’ve been always that way, there is not much you can do. Use lip-plumping
Exercise 1.
Simply press your lips together. Hold for at least six seconds, then release. Start with five repetitions daily and slowly build up to twenty repetitions. To avoid creating wrinkles, place your fingers on the corners of your mouth and pull slightly.
Exercise 2.
This exercise will make your lips fuller and smoother. Pucker your lips with forceful tension as if you are getting ready for a kiss. You should keep tension for at least six seconds, then repeat again.
Droopy lips
Just remembered my grandma! As a child, I was wondering about her lip shape. It looked like perfect U upside down! Now I know this was nothing out of the ordinary, although it seemed it was. As you age, your lips slowly transform from 🙂 to :(. You want to stop this as early as possible and, preferably, reverse it so you can be back to :). Apparently my grandma didn’t have much time to worry about her looks, but fortunately I do. Here is how to fix it…
Pull your lips over your teeth and smile! Again, the movement should be forceful. You should feel a little pain or discomfort. Hold for at least six seconds, release and repeat.

Smoker’s lines
I researched on smoker’s lines a bit and it seems like the only real solution is fillers. If you aren’t ready for fillers, choose bold colors for your lipstick to divert attention away from the lines.
Dry lips
Use lip scrubs
