Applying lip stick

1. Lip Liner :

It is not necessary to use lip liner. In case you do, do it before applying lip stick. Never use a lip liner with a darker shade than your lip stick, as the out line may be the only thing left on your lips, if your lip stick fades and lip liner do not. The lip liner should be either neutral or matching to the lip stick's color.Draw a line to each outer corner of your lip from the middle of your upper lip, along the natural outer edge of your lip line.

If you prefer really lasting lip stick, apply color all through your lips.


NOTE: You can get sharp edges if you leave the lip pencil in the refrigerator for a few minutes before application.

B. Lipstick:



You can increase the life of your lip stick by applying a foundation or some talcum powder under the lip stick. Both of these will give you drier lips and hence use some kind of creamy lip stick.


Keep your lips stretched and spread the colors from the middle part of your top or bottom lips towards the outer corners. To get longer lasting color, repeat the application and blotting a few times.


NOTE: Use a lip brush for the most accurate application of lip stick.

Are you not happy with your upper lip?

First use a pencil with the same color as your lips and out line your lips. Now, draw another line using a brown pencil in the middle of your upper lip. When you apply lip color all over your lips now, it will give you much more fuller lips and the brown line will blend in with the lip stick.
