OK, as we've said time-and-time again, you're beautiful just as you are -- and we mean it. But, I'll admit there have been times I wish my less-than-full (thin) lips were a little fuller. If you wish your lips were fuller, too, do what the models do: Fake it! How? Dab a small amount of lip gloss or (pearlized eye shadow works well too) in the center of your bottom lip. Your pout will appear fuller and, well, poutier.

If that doesn't give you the fullness you were hoping for, you can also dab a light eye shadow or highlighting cream just above your upper lip, smack dab in the center. Gently blend it in. Now, isn't that better?

Summer is here and, if you're like most of us, you'll soon be spending more time outdoors. Enjoy the fresh air but practice sun safety under the strong, summer sun. Follow the tips below to protect your gorgeous skin from the sun's intense rays.

1.    Use the right sunscreen: Use sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15 and choose one labeled "broad-spectrum," which means it will block both UVA and UVB rays. Make sure it is water-resistant, and reapply every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating.

Create a personal mantra. Successful companies have catchy slogans — and successful people do, too! Think of a phrase that makes you feel strong, capable and attractive. Say it when you wake up, and when you go to bed. When you find yourself in doubt or frustration, repeat your phrase (silently if more appropriate) a few times.
