Want to know the quickest way to appear more beautiful? Laugh. Yes, laugh. Not only does it offer an emotional release, a flood of feel good hormones and an internal workout (that’s a big belly laugh, not so much a chuckle), it also makes you more attractive to others.
Here at the bh offices we frequently dissolve into giggles over all manner of things. Practically anything can set us off and once one of us starts, we all laugh. Laughter, like beauty, has the power to forge an instant connection with other people. And while we can’t necessarily choose how beautiful we are, we can choose how much we laugh. Shiny, happy people isn’t just a 1990s song title, it’s a way of life.
Ever noticed how the life of the party seems to glow with energy? And how some of the world’s most beautiful people are lovely enough but when they break into a smile or burst into laughter something magical happens? Just try to think of Julia Roberts, Elle Macpherson or Sarah Murdoch without their wonderful engaging grins. Nope, can’t do it can you?
So now that you’ve realised that laughter really is the best medicine, you probably want to paint your pout to maximise your beauty every time you throw your head back in happiness.
If you like your smile ultra-natural, try Yes to Carrots C Me Smile Lip Butter for the merest hint of colour. On the other hand if you want a super-slick slice of gorgeous glossiness, kiss up to Bloom Lip Gloss. And if seriously colour-drenched is more your style, you’re sure to find a shade among the 34 L’Oreal Paris Colour Riche Moisturising Lipcolour hues on offer.
Best of all, each of these products costs less than $25. Not a bad price to pay for instant beauty and certainly something to laugh about.
