When it comes to beauty tips, I find that the reservoir is running low when it comes to lips. After all, I can easily paint on a glamorous lip that will stay full, sensuous and shining for oh, five minutes. But what about more realistic goals? How about a full, sensuous look that lasts all day? And I don’t mean shiny and delicious because I painted on some sticky stuff that left my soda can attached to my lip, either.

If you have been struggling to find some beauty tips for your lips that are actually helpful, then this list will be the answer to your prayers. I love these tips, and I use at least one of them every day. They are easy to dress up at a moment’s notice. However, if you want to just “let them ride” all day (right through lunch) then that will work too.

•    Lip Beauty Tip #1: Get some neutral lip stain
This may mean that you have to buy that ridiculous sticky shiner that comes with it. But you will soon see that it is well worth it. Now, do not use that shiny stuff. Instead, use the neutral stain on your lips. It should nearly match their natural color, but be either a shade darker or brighter. Once the stain sets, cover it with chapstick or your favorite lip gloss. Even with the covering wears off, your lips will still look fuller and plumper.

•    Lip Beauty Tip #2: Mix and match
If you want to wear real lip stick, but you love the sexy sheen of lip gloss, then blend away. Put the lipstick on your bottom lip and the lip gloss on your top lip. Rub them together – hard. Now blot. The remaining color will be a blended, shiny version of your lipstick that will last much longer than the gloss alone.

•    Lip Beauty Tip #3: Hydrate, hydrate and rehydrate
Keep lips full and beautiful by staying hydrated. It may sound silly, but if you are dehydrated then your lips are the first to show it. It also makes you lick them more, which will cause your lipstick or gloss to come off. Drink at least 8 eight-ounce glasses of water (through a straw, of course!) each day and watch your full, fresh lips come alive and stay that way.

Use these beauty tips for lips each day, and you will soon find that you have the most luscious and tempting lips around.

Here are some lip products that you can use to get these looks:

• Pixi Lip Blush
  Neutral lip stain in four pretty pinks. You can glam it up with glitter gloss or leave it bare for a totally natural look.
• Givenchy Pop Gloss - Crystal
  For serious shine. This looks fantastic with a little black dress and goes perfectly with the lip stains.
• Caudalie Lip Conditioner
  When water just isn’t enough, this lightly sweetened lip balm repairs, hydrates and provide major antioxidant protection. Great for wear under or over the lip stain when you want a natural look.
