Summary of Topics of the show covered: All about lips

Did you know that the junction where mouth’s surrounding skin meets the lips is known as Vermilion Border? The Vermilion Border of the upper lip goes by a separate name, which is known as Cupid’s bow.

Tool of the week: MUJI Aluminium Polyester Lip brush S

LIP BRUSH (SMALL ITEM) The brush is made of plant-derived polyester fibre which is not prone to curl and gives soft touch to the skin. It is supple and can be used to blend on the lips evenly. It can be stored easily and conveniently.

Is it Vegan?: Aloe Leaf natural lip remedy –

 

1. Cut the aloe leaf sideways and scoop out the gel into a container (with an airtight lid).
2. Apply the gel on your lips and leave it on overnight.
3. Store the remaining gel in the airtight container. Keep this in the fridge if you live in a hot and temperate climate.

 

Aloe contains natural ingredients that soothe the chapped skin and gently remove the dead layer of skin cells. It helps to strengthen the thin protective layer of skin on the lips and also provides a cooling effect

Berry Mix Complex with Vitamin C and antioxidant-packed berry ingredients make lips firmer, while hyaluronic acid helps in moisture absorption overnight. 

Get Naked: To find a great nude lipstick shade look at your fleshy fingertip tone and match a lipstick to that colouring as it will be a mixture of your bespoke skin tone, pigmentation or visible blood supply – also a great place to test a new lipstick out in a shop as it will best replicate how the lipstick will look on your actual lips if you are already wearing a lip shade and unable to test.
