bold lips are sexy, great to look at and def an eye catcher - wether you are blessed with a great bright smile or not. do yourself a favor and get those bities bleached, seriously. when you compare older pics of yourself to your bright smile now, then you'll be shocked how yellowish they were.

h o w    t o

• exfoliate your lips before doing your makeup and nurture them with nivea creme (ca 10 mins before)
• wipe off excess creme and apply a little of your foundation to your lips
• blot your lips with a little(!) loose powder to set the foundation
• contour your lips with a sharpened lipliner, starting in the middle working your way out - from the outer corners you work inwards
• fill in your lips with the liner
• blend in the contours and filled in areas with a lip brush
• apply your lipstick with a lip brush, beginning in the middle, work your way out - at the corners work your way inwards
• repeat putting lipstick on your lips and make sure you work it evenly with your brush
• let it set for a few seconds and apply clear lipgloss generously with a brush

n o   no 

• avoid yellowish, orangy tones if you have yellowish teeth, they will look even more yellowish.. trust me, not nice
• carry your lipstick, liner and gloss with you when you have a night out etc, although this method is longlasting you surely want to touch up after a few hrs, so it stays shiny shiny
• make use of the finger sucker move - please! last thing you want is lipstick on your teeth 
• if you don't have nice bright teeth then just avoid focusing on your lips - seriously - instead try to pull focus on your eyes. keep your lips nude or give them a slight touch of color with gloss
• if your teeth are just slightly yellow then pick lipsticks with blue undertones, those will make your bities look brighter

seriously? what's up with their makeup artists?

ok wether blue based tones or not - if you have such yellow teeth get them bleached or don't wear bold lipstick!!! even with a paler lipstick as seen on drew berrymore, it looks bad.

to avoid this one you simply have to stick your index finger in your mouth, and pull it out while you suck on it - lipstick which sticks to your finger would have been on your teeth sooner or later ;)
