How to achieve the perfect pout— online

Kylie Jenner, among other socialites, have made puckered lips a must have. Here are some quick and easy steps to getting the perfect pout:

Exfoliate

First, use a lip scrub to exfoliate your lips. You can make a DIY scrub by mixing together raw sugar and Vaseline.

Conceal

Next, you will want to get out your concealer and swipe it all over your lips so that your lip color matches your skin color. This gives your lips a nice base for you to work on.

Line

Now you will want to choose your lip color for the day. Pick a lip liner that is most similar to the lip color you have chosen.

To get a fuller pout, over-line your lips at your cupid’s bow and the center bottom of your lips. Only over-line those two areas of your lips; follow your natural lip line for the rest. Still using the liner, fill in your lips.

Fill

Using any kind of lip color (stain, stick or liquid) fill in your lips fully. Rub your lips together and give them a little pucker to make sure the color is evenly distributed.

Set

Lastly, to help keep your lips intact all day, grab a tissue and some translucent powder. Gently place the tissue over your lips. Using a powder brush, lightly brush some translucent powder over the tissue on to your lips.

Gloss

You can stop there, but if you want to make your pout pop, swipe some lip-gloss on your lower and upper lip, but only in the center.

Even Khloe Kardashian follows these steps in her daily routine, which you can check out here http://www.cosmopolitan.com/style-beauty/beauty/news/a53896/khloe-kardashians-reveals-5-hacks-to-getting-fuller-lips/.

And now you have the Kylie Jenner pout, but the best part, yours is real.
