Hey everyone! It's me, Jenn!
Today's video is sponsored by Colgate Optic White.
As you know I'm pretty smiley gal so I'll be showing you all how to get a brighter designer smile
So let's get start the countdown!
The first no-brainer tip for a better smile is to have your lips exfoliated.
No one wants dry chapped lips, but instead of spending a fortune on expensive lip scrubs
Make it at home!
First you're gonna need to grab some sugar. Then add some honey. Mix it really well
and then apply it on the lips
This is going to scrub off all of that flakey dead skin and it tastes delicious!
If the first scrub is a little too messy for you I got you covered.
Another easy way to exfoliate those lips is to apply some lip balm
and then with a clean disposable mascara wand or spoolie
Gently brush away all that dead skin
Now your lips are ready for any sort of product and it's gonna enhance that smile!
Now that your lips are in check, let's tackle those teeth
because without them there wouldn't even be a smile
I like to keep my teeth pearly white by using my favorite whitening toothpaste which is
Colgate Optic White Platinum High Impact White
I use this twice a day in the morning and night
and it helps me achieve a brighter and bolder smile that helps me stand out!
It protects my enamel and contains anti-cavity fluoride protection
Now my breath is minty fresh and my smile is ready to go!
I'm a bit of a caffeine addict, but unfortunately coffee and tea are notorious for staining your teeth.
Not a good look.
So the next time you grab a drink always make an effort to use a straw.
If want to be more environmentally conscious definitely invest in a metal one.
One trick I like to do before I add any lip color
is I always like to use a little bit of concealer or foundation all around my mouth.
Any discoloration around there can really distract the lip color and your smile.
Applying a light layer of concealer will ensure your smile gets its best start.
Also by using this technique you're able to get the exact color of the lipstick
as it does in the packaging because you're giving it a neutral base.
Another trick I like to do to make my smile a little bit brighter
is to grab some highlighter
Then with a fluffy brush I dust some on my cupid's bow.
If you watched any of my makeup tutorials you know that I never ever skip this step.
It just gives the illusion that your lips are fuller and adds a little sparkle on the lips which is a nice touch.
If you're wanting your teeth to look extra white try using a red lipstick with cool undertones
Blue and orange are opposites so the cool tones cancel out the warm
In this clip, I'm wearing a lipstick with orange undertones
and as you can see it's kind of bringing out more of the yellowness on my teeth

See? Lipsticks that have a blue base will help cancel out any yellow on your teeth
so give it a go!
If you want more of an innocent smile opt for the gradient lip
This was and is a huge beauty trend in Korea and it's so simple to do.
All you gotta do is apply concealer all over the lips.
Then apply a light shade or pink or whatever light shade on your lips
Then grabbing a deeper shade of pink, I'm gonna apply onto the inside of my lips
and then slowly dab it all out.
It's very subtle and innocent and it gives off the "I just finished my popsicle" look.
Glitter lips are trending right now but they're not as functional in real life
when you're actually using large glitter particles.
An easy way to incorporate this glitter lips trend into your daily life
is by grabbing a glitter eyeshadow you have in your makeup collection
and then after you apply the lipstick, gently press it onto your lips.
It's gonna give you that slight shimmer, but without the choking hazard.
The last tip is something you should do if you wanna avoid a situation like this.
Every time you finish doing your lipstick keep it off your teeth by
pointing a finger in your mouth
wrapping your lips around it and then pulling it out.
This is going to ensure that you don't have any lipstick on those pearly whites.
So those are my 10 lip tips on how to get a brighter smile.
