how to get the perfect lip

let's face it...who doesn't love a good selfie?  i know i do & no one does it better than Kim Kardashian West - she even turned it into a book! so if we just accept it as part of the time in which we live, then we must have the perfect lip for those inevitable pouts & kisses

my favorites? Dior's FIX IT - the 2-IN-1 prime & conceal for FACE, EYES & LIPS: i've always been a fan of muting the lip - either with foundation or concealer because it cancels out the natural pink in the lip so you get the true color of your lipstick

but what's great about this Dior product is that it's hydrating & it primes as well as concealing - the hydration keeps your lips from looking dry & cracked & the prime helps your color last even longer - luv, luv, luv - comes in 3 shades for all skin tones & can be found at Bloomingdales $36

next? Too Faced's Lip Injection Extreme - after all, who doesn't want a little plump in their pout?!  a great alternative to paying for an ACTUAL lip injection - but let me warn you ladies, it is going to sting a bit - but it is WELL WORTH IT because this product works like a charm

and let's not kid ourselves, we've all suffered a little for beauty - if anyone of us hasn't hurt our feet in order to wear those great pair of shoes, then you can correct me if I'm wrong - can be found at Sephora $28
