How to Enhance Your Smile with Makeup

Looking for tips to highlight your smile with makeup? Discover our professional tricks to enhance your lips.

Smiling is the best way to brighten up your face. But did you know that you can also enhance your smile with makeup? In this article, we share some beauty expert tips for a healthy, radiant smile!

White and Healthy Teeth

Makeup can't perform miracles. To highlight your smile, you need to take care of your teeth. Here are our tips:

• Avoid coffee, tea, and smoking, as they can yellow your teeth if consumed regularly.
• Brush your teeth 2 to 3 times a day with an electric toothbrush (more effective than a manual one for removing plaque) and a whitening toothpaste.
• Visit your dentist once a year for a dental check-up. Depending on your dental health, they might suggest a cleaning or even teeth whitening.

Taking Care of Your Lips

Now, let's focus on what surrounds your teeth: your mouth. We recommend taking good care of your lips to keep them plump and soft. Once a week, exfoliate your lips with a suitable scrub. For example, a little honey and sugar can remove dead skin. Then, apply a thick layer of nourishing balm on your lips and leave it on for at least 15 minutes (or overnight for best results). Every day, remember to apply a moisturizing lip balm.

Choosing the Right Lipstick Shade

If your teeth are slightly yellow, be cautious, as certain lipstick shades can accentuate this. Nude, brick, and brown shades, in particular, can highlight yellow tones. However, to enhance the whiteness of your teeth, nothing works better than a fuchsia or raspberry lipstick. Don't forget to add a touch of clear gloss to your lips: it will perfect your lip makeup and highlight your smile, as gloss captures the light.
