Expert Answer

Exfoliating lips is a great way to bring out their natural pinkness. Mix a small amount of brown sugar and olive oil, rub the mixture over the entire surface of your lips in gentle circular motions, then rinse your lips.

A mixture of lemon juice and honey will lighten your lips naturally. Apply it a few times a week; you'll begin to notice a lightening effect after 2-3 applications.

Expert Answer

Coconut oil is great for lips because it forms a protective barrier over them instead of getting completely absorbed by the skin. This helps lock in their natural moisture and means that you don't need to reapply constantly.

Beetroot powder is a highly pigmented and very pretty natural red. You can mix some with your favorite lip balm to make a natural and effective skin tint.

Question

Can I mix Kool-Aid powder and coconut oil?

Community Answer

The oil will dilute the Kool-Aid and make it harder to apply with your finger. I suggest you don't, but if you want, use a tooth brush (new and clean) to apply the liquid onto your lips, and seal it off with a Chapstick to contain it. Don't use a lot!

Question

My upper lip is quite dark. How do I make it pink like my bottom lip?

Community Answer

Upper lips are naturally darker compared to the bottom lip, and this is totally normal. If you would still like to change it, try applying lipstick. If the lipstick color is uneven because of differences in the base, try applying concealer to the lips and then add the color on top.

How can I apply lipstick for smokers' lips?

Community Answer

Start with a waxy lipliner which prevents the lipstick from "bleeding" into wrinkles around the mouth. Then, fill in with whatever lipstick you prefer.

Question

How do I make my lips thinner?

Community Answer

Try to make other features, eyes, eyebrows etc, stand out more. Don't wear bright lipsticks. If you wear lip balm, gently dust over with powder to get matte lips, which won't stand out as much.

Question

Can I use ghee to brighten lips?

That would make your lips appear glossier and exfoliated but it won't make them look red. It's also not the most enjoyable flavor on the lips all day.

Which lip balm is good for both winter and summer?

Softlips lip balm, because it works as a sunscreen in the summer but also moisturizes your lips in the winter.

Question

Can I use honey with Vaseline?

Community Answer

Sure. Honey is also rich with bleaching agents that generally remove the darkness of the lip skin, so if you want your lips to also be slightly redder, honey and Vaseline would be a great idea!

Does applying honey make my lips red?

No, but it might give you a nice gloss. You can mix it with cinnamon and sugar for a nice lip scrub to get the blood going -- this can make your lips red and fuller.

Question

How many days should I do this?

Community Answer

It is best to repeat this procedure until your desired results show. Do it until the redness increases, or your lips are smooth. Caution should still be taken, because too much scrubbing or adding damaging products could just make them more dry and dark.
