Annique Lippy refresher course

Some lippy tricks and tips for you

1. Lip gloss slides right off?

Fix it by filling in your lips first with your lip liner – not a perfect solution, but it should help

2. Try lining your lips after you have applied your lipstick or gloss for a more natural look

 3. What to do if your teeth are a yellowish colour and there is no money in the kitty for one of those expensive dental whitening  jobs?

Use lipsticks with a bluish undertone like plums, pinks, wines and violets – this tip is from a well-known NYC makeup artist called Lazarus

                   4.  Out on a dinner date?

Keep your lipstick in place by using your lower teeth and tongue instead of your lips when using utensils.

5. It is ok to use lipstick as a cream blush; but not if you are prone to acne because it might clog your pores and give you pimples It is best for you to use a powder blush

  I am sure we will have just the right shade for you…….

Something to make Annique Girls Smile!

Are you smiling the right way? No seriously……

smile

According to the the dictionary a smile is: A facial expression characterised by an upward curving of the corners of the mouth and indicating pleasure, amusement, or derision.

Follow the link below to learn how to smile the proper way without those gummy bits showing!)  then don your favourite Annique lipstick to wow the world. Tip: Close the door real thight before you start, especially with the facial exercises to avoid being attacked by the family clan. All those teeth barring may be well worth it in the end but it could damage a loving relationship lol!

Smile Exercise

This exercise focuses on producing a voluntary smile that will work the facial muscles in control of elevation and retraction of the mouth. This should be done while looking in a mirror, either sitting or standing, whichever you prefer. This exercise has been advocated by Gibson in his Smile Power Institute that one practicing for only a few days, five times a day, complete control and range of motion can be achieved in one’s smile.

Facial Exercises

The maintenance of a firm face is the symbol of youth and vigor, whereas when one goes into the older period of one’s life the face starts to sag and wrinkles form. Daily facial and smile exercise will help to combat the effects of age, gravity, and disuse.

During the progression of age most people lose control of many muscles that are not the primary “movers” and only help to reinforce facial movement. Muscle awareness will be achieved through these exercises, enabling the control of facial movements that normally only respond to a reflex action.

After these exercises have been complete, one will have a major improvement on one’s smile and will increase one’s attractive power. This is occurring because just as in normal muscle-building exercises, one uses weights as resistance, and in this exercise one uses their fingers as “weights”.
