HOW TO CREATE THE LOOK OF LUSCIOUS LIPS

Begin with moisturized lips! The more hydrated your lips, the fuller they look. I like the Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment. Take your light nude pencil and begin applying to just the center of your lips. I'm using the MAC Chromographic Pencil in NC15/NW20. Keep this color between your cupid’s bow; if you put your index finger right at the center of your lips, that’s about as much area as you want to cover. Be sure to extend this light nude pencil to the edge of your cupid’s bow as well as the lowest part of your bottom lip. Be careful not to draw outside of your actual lip line. Take your darker lip pencil and just outline and fill in your lips at the outer corners, blending inward just slightly. I used the NYX Retractable Lip Pencil in Nude. Using your finger, lightly blend out the edges of the lighter color to eliminate any harsh lines. Finish off by applying a very sheer lipstick or a nude gloss. The more sheer the better so that the highlight and contour come through! I've used the MAC Creamsheen Lipglass in Boy Bait. And there you have a step by step for fuller looking luscious lips!

THE "MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL IN THE WORLD" IS 9 YEARS OLD

After years of consciously discouraging the sexualization of young girls and promoting fair treatment and healthy lifestyles for minors, it comes as a bit of a shock that KRISTINA PIMENOVA is being dubbed the “most beautiful girl in the world” at just NINE years old. Born in 2005 in Moscow, Russia, Pimenova started modeling at the age of three, scoring contracts with Armani, Benetton, Fendi, and Roberto Cavalli’s children’s lines. She also landed the cover of Vogue Bambini. I must say I don't approve of this. She is a very pretty girl, but she is just a child. Where does she go from here?
