Just make sure it's a clear or translucent shade.[br /][br /][b]2.[/b] To make your lips look bigger, apply lip liner to the outer lips inward before the meeting of the bow, blend the liner until it is faded out for a fuller look and then take a soft color like Bolero Velvet matte lip pencil and place it in the center of the lip for a highlighted touch. Setting with a loose powder will make it last![br /][Ads /][br /][br /][br /][b]3.

For the bottom lashes, use a flat brush, tap it in the mascara and then brush along lower lashes. This is a cleaner way to get better color on your lower lashes.
