How to Get Angelina Jolie's Lips

Natural matte lips, like Angelina Jolie's, are so sexy that the hot guy you're crushin' on might actually work up the nerve to ask you out!

Steps
Exfoliate your lips with a warm, wet wash cloth by wiping back and forth for no more than 30 seconds.
Apply a good lip plumper (the most recent in lip enhancing technology). There are a few good brands sold in department stores and beauty supply stores. They literally plump up, smooth out and moisten the lips.
Line and fill in your lips with a light brown or nude lip liner pencil (match your skin tone as closely as you can).
Apply a matte flesh-toned lipstick.
Blot the lipstick by gently pressing your lips closed with a tissue in between.

Tips
These steps help you achieve the look of Angelina Jolie's lips, but to get the actual fullness, you may have to consider more drastic measures like plastic surgery, collagen implants, restylane shots or tattooed outlines around your lips.
Alternatively, some lip glosses (like Lip Venom) use ginger and cinnamon to increase circulation in your lips to create fuller "bee-stung" looking lips. The cost of this beauty might be a slight burning feeling in your lips.
Reduce shine and make your lipstick last longer by adding an ever-so-thin layer of baby powder with a brush.
If the look is a bit harsh for your taste, try adding some shine with clear gloss.
Make-up artists like this trick, too. Add dimension by taking a liner about 2 shades darker than the lipstick and drawing in a "shadow line" under the middle of the bottom lip. This can be very tricky to master, so make sure you practice before you wear it out. Study pictures of celebrities who have similar lip shapes to your own and try to copy the shadow line found on them.

Warnings
Not all guys like the huge, plump lips look, so be careful.
Don't get so focused on your lips that you lose sight of how beautiful the rest of your face is.
