Full lips secret to natural beauty
Women who have full lips look younger, according to a new study which claims that an impressive pout is a vital part of natural beauty.
Researchers at Unilever found that women with big smackers have a more youthful appearance than those with thin lips, reinforcing the images of beauty associated with Marilyn Monroe and Scarlett Johansson.
David Gunn, a research scientist at Unilever, which funded the international study at seven universities, told The Sunday Times: "When we identified people who looked young for their age, we were struck by the difference in their lips. It is a feature that is strongly genetically determined and relatively easy to measure."
Having good genes is the key to beautiful lips but women could use natural makeup to make the most of what they have.
A recent survey by Clothes Show Live found that Women will spend 72 hours shopping, 96 hours getting in shape and 23 hours beautifying themselves during the Christmas period before hitting the dancefloors.
