When did pouty become beautiful? Girls, it’s time to bring back the smile. I don’t care how many models portray a “sultry-cool” disinterested stare. In real life, it’s the smiles that win the hearts.

Some interesting stats:
-The average woman smiles about 62 times a day!
-A man? Only 8!
-30 minutes of a hearty laugh, your white blood cell count shoots up by 25%, strengthening your disease fighting powers.
- The first thing we notice about people is their eyes, the second thing we notice is their smile.
-people seldom notice old clothes if you wear a big smile
-it happens in a flash but can be remembered for a lifetime
-88% of people (surveyed) said they always remember someone with an especially attractive smile
-guys go crazy over a girls smile
Do:

-Relax- a real smile reveals facial muscles all pointing upward from your jaw right up to your eyebrows, mouth is often open and your eyes are crinkly

-Brighten your teeth in seconds-try a lipstick in true reds, avoid coral or orangey shades…they bring out the yellow.
Don’t:

Trace the outside of your lip-line with pencil. Lay off the lip pencil, it looks fake. Just trace a clear, shimmer highlighter pencil above the cupid’s bow on your upper lip, the reflection makes it look fuller. Well-hydrated lips look fuller.
