Michelle Kwan: Full Lips All women want pouty, full lips like former Olympian Kwan's. To make your lips appear plumper, Chang-Babaian recommends modestly reshaping them using a neutral lip liner that's two shades darker than your natural lip line color. Next, apply beige or pink gloss (try Sephora Super Shimmer Lip Gloss, $10). Finish by dabbing a bit of a lighter, shinier gloss shade just in the center of your bottom lip for a pouty finish.

The step by step instructions were great. However;I find that if I try to line my eyes, I end up looking like I have no lashes.

I agree with chat_noir... my eyebrows are super black. All the other tips are excellent though.

A lot of these are great tips, but I totally disagree about the one that says not to use black on eyebrows. My eyebrow hairs are blacker than black, so using a lighter color would look absolutely ridiculous.

Thanks for the article. it is so hard to do eye makeup with our no-crease eyes.
