How To Get Angelina Jolie Lips
Even though I really don’t care for her…today I will show you how to get those luscious lips of Angelina Jolie’s, or at least make my best effort to.
This idea popped into my head last night at 10:30 p.m. while cruising the aisles of my local drugstore, as I usually do on a late weeknight after work. I was in need of a new lipstick and came across some version of a Cover Girl lip plumping lipstick that supposedly gives you a fuller pout. It was a nice color…Honey Rose to be exact and it was cheap, only $7.99.
So, I went for it and put it on this afternoon while getting ready for work, and to my surprise…the lipstick worked! There is some sort of ingredient in it that makes the lips tingle, kind of like the secret ingredient in Lip Venom, but not as painful. (For those of you who have ever tried Lip Venom…you know the sting that I am referring to.) Incredifull Lipcolor is what its called, and yes it made my lips look full! It plumped them up with the minty/tingly sensation and the color goes on smooth and creamy looking, not matte, not glossy. Totally worth 8 bucks.
Now, you don’t necessarily have to get this lipstick, and you may all not like the results because they may differ from lip to lip. But to continue on in our quest to get the legendary, iconic Jolie pout, the first step is to find a decent lipliner. It doesn’t have to be an expensive, fancy brand. As long as you pick one that is a neutral color, something along the lines of nude, or fleshtone, or a very brownish rose color. I can remember for the longest time (particularly late 90’s) that MAC’s Lip Pencil in Spice was all the rage.
I mean, every woman in my immediate family owned that thing…and still might! It was a good color. This time around though, I would go for a lighter nude…and if you feel confused or overwhelmed, just be sure to pick something with the actual words “nude” or “naked” in the title…you should be good.
Line the lipline with your “naked” pencil, and don’t be afraid to use a heavy hand! Next, fill in the lips with the same pencil, and top with either a simple lip balm like Blistex or something, OR a similarly colored nude lipstick. Last, get ready to pucker up.

Truth is I don’t mind the look, it’s kinda suave and a throw back to the “Sinatra Rat Pack” generation. It’s swanky.
