Tip 1: Expose your lips While some men like a rouged lip, most replied back with a resounding "NO!" when asked if they preferred a mouth coated in lipstick. One woman said, "my boyfriend LOVES it when I wear a subtle lip gloss that shows off the texture of my natural lips. He hates to kiss me when I'm rockin' the red." One guy said, "For some reason, the smell of lipstick has, and always will, remind me of my grandma. I'm sorry, but no one deserves that imagery."

When it comes to your sexiest pout, the majority of men prefer a more natural look. They (for the most part) don't care what's being worn on the runways, but do care about what's most kissable. So what makes lips kissable? "Soft, moisturized and ready for a good time," says one guy.

Readers' fave products for creating soft lips with a bit of come-hither shine:
Carmex Moisture Plus Clear Gloss, $2.89
Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer, $9.99
Clinique Superbalm Moisturizing Gloss, $14

Bonus tip: Some guys said that one of the hottest things about lip gloss isn't seeing your lips in it, but seeing you apply it (go figure). So tilt your head back, open your lips ever so slightly, and give them a good lip gloss application show they won't forget — hey, whatever works, right?

Nice info but I'm not going to wax anything and I probably won't do the hat either. But nice to know what they like!

This was a nice article, but it contradicts some of what the other articles on here say.

Interesting, but honestly not going to change anything about what I do.

Very interesting.

Does anyone else think it's kind of funny that this article says guys like a girl in a baseball hat, and the "looks men hate" article says they don't? I'm pretty sure it's the same photo on both articles, too. ;) (Just goes to show that no advice is truly universal...)

I can only agree with a few of these tips. My advice ... never try too hard. Be yourself, and let YOUR real beauty shine through.

not everyone can afford regular bikini waxes, a bikini wax can be as much as $50 from what I\'ve seen in colorado
