By: Kashaf Ali How to Have a Beautiful Smile Phyllis Diller said and I quote: “A smile is a curve that sets everything straight.” Whether it is to pose for a camera, shine out on a girls’ day out or to impress a guy, a girl definitely needs her smile. But the question here is: How to have a beautiful smile? Are you wearing the right lip gloss? This fall, apply the correct lip colour and make your smile even more stunning. Summers are gone, so girls start prepping this fall for a red-lip renaissance! Which shades should you slick on first? Here is an array of some to kick off the season right: There is no better time to try Garden-like shades of tomato red, than this fall. Whether you are pale, tan or somewhere in between, there is a flattering orange lip gloss out there for you all! Warm skin tones look for yellow based oranges and those with cool skin tones light red or coral oranges is your answer. Deep wines to juicy berries to almost-blacks turned heads on 2013 Autumn Winter runways. They are a little hard to pull off, but once you find your right shade, you are ready to rock the latest bold beauty trend. Shades of brick red or berry are the best for fair skin tones, whereas Medium Skin Tones can go with a slightly darker tint in burgundy or maroon and those with dark Skin Tones, lucky for you, any dark lip gloss would work. So, whether it is the feeling of being overexposed or the uncertainty of picking the right shade, a classic red lip gloss will never let you down nor will nude pink, which is a feminine colour and looks natural too. The right lipstick, with the right makeup is just not enough for a gorgeous smile, lip care is important too. Enough with long sighs from rough, cracked, sensitive lips, that leave you little to smile about. Get on board girls; it is time for a fix! Water! Water! Is the cry. Dr inking enough water (the equivalent of at least 9 cups of fluids daily) will keep the body, skin and lips hydrated. Don't lick your lips. This constant habit will dr y out the skin of your lips by causing the moistur e in them to evaporate, so it is really time to stop. A healthy rich Diet. Include juices, fr uits and dair y pr oducts in your diet. Nothing beats a pr oper healthy diet, when it comes to pink and smooth lips. Home care tip #1: Applying almond oil onto your lips daily will not only soften them but will also prevent them from going dry. Home care tip #2: Regular application of honey is also a cure for the cracked lips. Regardless of how ultra-dazzling your lips look, the secret to a beautiful smile truly lies within your own self. Indeed, we are the architects of our own happiness. Girls; a genuine smile is the one that comes from the heart. So, the real trick here is to stay happy and positive, admire what life offers you and live to the fullest. As, Marilyn Monroe also said: “Keep smiling, because life is a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.” 11 11
