Give Your Lips A Youthful Touch

As you grow older, signs of aging will start appearing everywhere on your face. Once these fine lines and wrinkles start developing, women begin using cosmetics to cover up and erase these signs of aging. Even the delicate lips are not spared by the aging process, and as the number of candles keeps on increasing on your birthday cake your lips become thinner, feathered and chapped. But there’s no need to worry, because we’ve got some handy tips to make your lips look younger. Here are the common age related lip problems and the makeup tricks to cover up these problems. Feathering That’s when the skin around your lips begins to wrinkle, which often makes the lipstick to bleed into these lines. The best way to prevent the lip color from bleeding is to use a lip liner, as the lines created with the lip liner act as a barrier which prevents the lipstick from bleeding outside the lip line. Choose a pencil lip liner, because with that there are lesser chances of goof ups. Also, using some clear wax based lip primer will help in keeping your lip color intact. Or alternatively, you can dab a little bit of face powder onto your lips after the first coat of lipstick. Thinning of lips As the collagen and fat levels take a nose dive, the plumpness of the lips will soon begin to disappear, giving way to thin feeble looking lips. The safest way to make your lips look thicker without adding any youthful shine to them is to apply some tinted balm as the base coat for the lipstick. You can also make your lips look thicker by applying the lipstick a little outside your natural lip line. But for that, you must always apply some foundation to your lips, and then mark the lip line with a lip liner. Cracking and Chapping With age your skin is bound to lose its moisture and elasticity, which causes your lips to look dry and flaky. For a quick fix think about exfoliating your lips with a round scrubber that is specifically meant to remove dead skin flakes from the lips. Apply some lip balm to fill in the crevices and then you can proceed with your regular lip makeup. For a more permanent cure, retinal based lip cosmetics and even oral medication may be helpful, but before you take retinal orally, do consult with your physician.

Ashlee Simpson

 

Name : Ashlee Simpson

Date of birth : October 3rd, 1984

Place of birth : Dallas, Texas, USA

Birth name : Ashlee Nicole Simpson

Height : 5' 7

Education : School of American Ballet

Nationality : American

Profession : actress

Siblings : Sister of pop singer Jessica Simpson


Ashlee Simpson reprises her role on The WB's 7th Heaven for her second season as Cecilia, Simon Camden's love interest. Simpson started dancing at the age of 4 and, by the time she was 11, enjoyed the status of being the youngest person ever admitted to the prestigious School of American Ballet. By 14, Simpson was dancing professionally on the road with her older sister, singing sensation Jessica Simpson. Simpson spent three years on tour supporting her sibling and garnering her own fan-base. Despite the fact that she hasn't put out an album of her own, she already has 50 websites devoted to her.
Having recently celebrated her 18th birthday, Simpson is now set to stake her own claim in the entertainment world. She appeared on the big screen last year in the film The Hot Chick alongside Rob Schneider. She already has television appearances under her belt, including a guest-starring role on Malcolm In the Middle. She has also appeared alongside her sister on Saved By The Bell, The Donny & Marie Show, The Rosie O'Donnell Show, The View, The Tonight Show With Jay Leno and a Disney Christmas show and concert special.
During her summer hiatus from 7th Heaven, Simpson was busy at work on her first album, which should be released sometime next year, and served as co-host of MTV's Beach House in the Hamptons. She has also been training with renowned acting coach Janet Alhanti. Currently living in Los Angeles, Simpson enjoys spending her free time vintage shopping, writing and recording music and hanging out with friends.



"I'm a simple girl in a complex world," sings 19-year-old Ashlee Simpson on "Autobiography," a track from her debut Geffen Records album. But that description doesn't begin to sum up this multi-talented performer's accomplishments at her tender age.
With a regular role as Cecilia in WB's hit TV Seventh Heaven, upcoming The Ashlee Simpson Show reality series on MTV and debut album bowing July, Ashlee is about to emerge from, like the name of another new song on the album, this one about her famous family, the "Shadow." "I've always been obsessed with music," says Ashlee, who adds her tastes--and album--are not at all like older sister Jessica's. "We're into totally different bands and artists." Produced by John Shanks (Michelle Branch, Sheryl Crow, Melissa Etheridge, Alanis Morissette, Unwritten Law), the new album has elements of rock, punk and pop, recalling Ashlee's own favorite bands--ranging from Janis Joplin and Steve Nicks to Pat Benatar, the Pretenders and Blondie through Fiona Apple, Hole and Green Day.
Ashlee co-wrote every song on the album. "I just wanted to go in and make a record and not worry about what genre it would be," she says. "I went in to have a good time and did. It's a rock record, with a cool edge to it. It's the first time people are getting to hear what I sound like."
The first single, "Pieces of Me," is a full-throttle rocker about a best friend who brings comfort at the end of a long, stressful day of work. "It's like a sigh," she says. "When I finally see him, all the other dramas fade away." "Autobiography" plays around with her public image, daring those who want to know her to walk up and ask. The tongue-in-cheek rave-up "LaLa" is about sexual fantasies, with Ashlee role-playing as an alley cat and a French maid, but it's all in fun. "There's a lot of sarcasm in that song," she says. "It's something every girl thinks about, so I decided to make a joke about it. It's one of the songs you can dance around to."
The Waco, TX-born Ashlee has been dancing since she was 3, and by 11, she was the youngest person ever admitted into the prestigious School of American Ballet. She moved to L.A. with her parents and Jessica when she was 14, pursuing an acting career and dancing in her sister's stage show, but dreaming of doing music all the while.
She went on to make appearances on Malcolm in the Middle and The View before landing a regular role in Seventh Heaven. Last year, she had the track "Just Let Me Cry" on Disney's Freaky Friday soundtrack, and then began recording earlier this year on breaks from filming the TV show.
"I've been working on the album for five months now, and I'm just so excited for it to come out," she says. "I feel like it's very true to who I am. I was there every step of the way. My acting experience really helped me get into the characters of the songs and be in the moment with them. I was able to go back to the events I'm singing about and bring them to life."
Coinciding with the release of the new album, Ashlee is also starring in her own MTV reality series, which will track her through the whole process.
"Jessica said she couldn't believe I was doing a show also," she laughs. "Now, when I come over, I bring over my cameras, while there's always a crew around her house. It's actually quite funny. Jess taught me it's cool to be yourself." With the album done, Ashlee looks back and calls the experience "therapeutic." "Anything I held on my shoulders, I got to put it out there. It enabled me to find out who I am, to discover my identity in the world."
The world is set to learn all about the latest multimedia Simpsons star on both disc and TV.

Inside Beauty ~ 7 Genius Lipstick Tricks

 

Find Your Perfect Pink

Unsure of which pink is best for you? Just smile; your perfect shade is about the same color as your gums—no lighter.

Make Lipstick Last

To keep your color in place, fill the entire lip with neutral pencil before applying lipstick. If necessary, roll the tip in the palm of your hand to warm it up and prevent hard lines. 

 

Create a Custom Shade

Turn any lip color into a shimmery new shade: Swipe sheer golden gloss over lipstick—it instantly warms up every color. 

Shape Lips Sans Liner

Give the illusion of two perfect peaks without lining lips: Just dab concealer in the groove at the center of your upper lip and blend well. 

Use Powder for the Perfect  Lip

Start with a pale pink shade, then dust translucent powder on top for a matte effect. “I call it a powdered lip look,” says makeup artist Robin Fredriksz, who has used the technique on Drew Barrymore. 

Prime Lips for Spot-On Color

If you really like the way a lipstick color looks in the tube, prime lips with a touch of foundation before applying; that way, you start with a blank canvas. The result will be similar to what you see in the package. 

Make Your Own Stain

Turn any lipstick into a durable stain by blotting, reapplying, then blotting again to remove excess oils. Blot with lint-free blotting paper rather than tissue for a more natural, long-lasting look.
