"The easiest and quickest way to alter a face is to simply apply colour and/or texture to the lips. A great lip colour will brighten not only the smile, but also the entire face. The key to creating a beautiful lip is creating a mouth that contributes to the overall harmony of the other features and shape of the face. Anyone and I mean anyone can wear a red lip but the only rule you must follow - that red lip has to be perfectly executed!"
