Or if you don’t have a special brush, just use a toothbrush! Take a clean toothbrush with soft bristles, wet it with water, and massage your lips using a circular motion. Rinse your lips and you’re done.
1 teaspoon honey (5 mL) and 1/4 (1 g) teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon honey (5 mL) and 1/8 teaspoon (0. 5 g) cayenne powder 1 teaspoon honey (5 mL) and 1/4 teaspoon (1. 25 mL) peppermint extract 1 teaspoon honey (5 mL) and 1 teaspoon (5 mL) of lemon juice
You could also cut a beet into an inch-long piece and rub it over your lips. Do this for about 5 minutes to get a good stain that sets into your lips. Then moisturize with a layer of clear lip balm. Wear gloves when you do this or your fingers will get stained as well.
Strawberries and raspberries will produce a lighter color than cherries and pomegranates. If you loved popsicles as a kid, you probably already know that berry-flavored frozen treats can also do the trick! Take your time eating a red popsicle and let the dye give your lips a deep pink stain.
Tinted balms look darker with each application. If you want a brighter pink look, apply more than one layer. Tinted lip gloss is another good choice if you want a slight pop of color, but nothing too extreme.
The more layers you apply, the darker the color will be. To keep lip stain from washing away, seal it in with a layer of clear lip balm.
Switch out your coffee and tea drinks for water whenever possible. Avoid overdoing it with alcohol, which can cause dehydration and dry lips.
