How do you lighten dark lips?

Answer by  golden (348)

You can put a lighter color concealer on dark lips before applying a lipstick color. Try using a clear gloss. They make lips look shiny and lighter.

Purchase a good lip exfoliant which is gentle on the lips. Apply it to wet lips and leave it on for a few minutes. Rub the lips gently with your fingers to remove dead skin.

One of the best ways is by applying an undercoat of concealer or foundation across the entire lip area. Be sure to use a lip moisturizer first. On top of the concealer or foundation, you can apply a pale lip color and use a lip liner if desired.

Try a light-colored lip gloss, or use a light-tinted moisturizer. Also, you might try looking for a lipstick that is a lighter shade of pink or brown.
