Hi everyone and welcome to today's Beauty Recommended video, I'm Becky from TalkBeckyTalk.
Today I'm going to be answering one of Britain's Biggest Beauty Questions- how to combat dry,
chapped lips, and to make sure that you have the perfect looking plump pout.
I was actually really excited about taking this kind of challenge on and answering this
question because this is something that I get affected by all the time, particularly
when we're in the winter but last summer as well, I had incredibly chapped lips and it
was something that really affected my confidence because I really felt like people were just
looking at the dry skin on my lips and it was horrible.
So I've put together a few things that are hopefully going to take you from really dry
lips to plump- looking lips.
So, I'm going to start off, the first thing is these were my lips this morning.
I woke up in the morning, this is a typical morning for me, my lips are quite dry, I've
got quite a lot of dead skin on my lips as well, so the first thing you need to do is
get rid of that dry skin.
I'm using this Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub, this is a sugar scrub, so it tastes amazing, it
literally tastes of bubblegum.
And you're going to use your finger just to massage this, it gets a little bit messy,
you can just wipe it off with a wet cloth.
That's just going to exfoliate the lips which is going to get rid of all that yucky, yucky
dry skin, it doesn't hurt as well when you do this.
Ok, here is the top tip to keep them nice and moisturised, I'm actually going to put
a moisturiser on my lips next, this is the Olay Total Effects 7-in1 Day Moisturiser.
I have raved about this before in a video, I absolutely fell in love with Olay moisturisers
when I started using this, my skin feels so soft when I have this on and it does the same
thing, if you out it on your lips.
So I'm just going to dab a tiny bit of this on my lips, give your lips a nice little massage,
a little treatment, and this is really going to help put that moisture back in our lips
because with all the product we put on, we forget to moisturise our lips which is not
really something that I ever do and my lips feel so soft after doing this.
So once you've spent a little bit of time really working that into your lips, you go
onto the rest of your face and moisturise your face as usual, again using the Olay moisturiser.
I have noticed such a difference in my skin when using this, so many people have been
commenting that my skin has looked a lot brighter and honestly it's been down to using this
moisturiser by Olay and one of their other ones as well, I am hooked, my skin feels so
incredibly soft after using it.
Ok so next up, you've got rid of that yucky dryness, now you're going to make them look
pretty, so the first thing that I'm going to use is my Max Factor Colour Elixir Lip
Liner, this is actually in Pink Petal, number 2 and I again have raved about this because
I am a really big fan of nude lips, I am not always as daring with colours, so this is
perfect for me.
Nude lip liners are great at giving you a little bit of definition, plumping those lips
out and this one glides on so nicely, I know this is going to last for most of the day
and I won't need to keep reapplying this and irritating my lips as I got through the day.
So that's going to seal in the colour and give you that nice plump definition.
And last but not least to finish it off with that glossy kind of plump look, I'm going
to use my Max Factor Colour Elixir Lip Gloss, this is in Radiant Rose, number 15.
I actually featured one of these lip glosses in my 2014 beauty favourites because I am
in love with these lip glosses, they glide on so well, they look so plump when they go
on, this one actually has a little bit of glitter in, which I love because when I have
dry lips, I want my kind of lip gloss to stand out rather than any dry skin that I might
have on my lips, so add a little bit of glitter in and that's going to take any kind of emphasis
off the dry skin, it's going to make your lips glisten, look sparkly.
This actually tastes quite nice as a lip gloss as well and I know this is going to stay on
for a good couple of hours as well, I'm not going to have to keep reapplying every half
an hour.
So once you've done a little bit of TLC on your lips, you can go ahead and do the rest
of your makeup as normal.
That's the finished look, taking you from dry, nasty chapped lips to hopefully nice,
non-chapped, sparkly plump-looking lips.
So I really hope you enjoyed that video, I loved doing this one.
