Lips. They come in all shapes, sizes and shades. Whether your pout is big, small, thin or full, your lips are uniquely your own, and you can dress them up or down however you like. 

The perfect pout has long been sought after; plump lips that entice and enchant all who look on them have become a beauty staple. A real sign of youth and vitality. 

Want to know how to get luscious lips at home? No sweat! New Zealand Beauty School is here to help with our handy guide on how to choose the right products for the perfect pout.

Choosing the right product for your lips

Step one to achieving the perfect pout is to get to know your lips. 

What shape are they? Are they big, small, full, thin, uniquely shaped? 

Learning to embrace your natural lip shape is the most vital thing to remember on your quest for kissable lips.

Rather than working against your natural shape, you want to lean into it. Look for products that enhance what you already have – both shape and colour – and think about what you want your end result to be.

With the rise of cosmetic surgery and procedures such as lip fillers becoming the trend, it is becoming harder and harder to learn to love the skin we are in. We are bombarded daily with beauty and style trends, and it is important to remember that one body cannot possibly keep up with the never-ending modern beauty standards, so we have to work with what we’ve been given.

Here at New Zealand Beauty School, we celebrate body positivity and work with our students to help them guide their clients to feel their best and most confident selves.
