How to Apply Lipstick and Lip Liner

How to Apply Lipstick and Lip Liner

Step 1: Consider your lipstick color and finish. You'll do well with colors that match the natural shade of your lips, opting for darker tones that compliment your overall coloring. Matte lipsticks offer a muted finish complimentary to workday makeup, while satin and gloss finishes offer appealing evening looks.


Step 2: Apply all other makeup before you put on lipstick and lip liner.


Step 3: Begin by dabbing on a small amount of lip balm to give your lips a little moisture.




Step 4: Draw a thin line along the edge of your lips with a lip liner whose color is one shade darker than your lipstick. Start at the center of the upper lip and work outward. Hug the very outer edges to open up thin lips, and line well within the edges to downplay excessively full lips.






Step 5: Apply lipstick from the tube or by using a firm, small lipstick brush. Coat the lips evenly. Pay special attention to staying within the lips' edges.






Step 6: Blot to remove any excess color and to even out the texture.






Step 7: Remember to touch lips up after a meal as lipstick easily transfers on to cups.
