APPLYING LIPSTICK & LIP LINER

THE FINICHEDD EFFECT: Lips have been given extra
definition and brought to life with a burst of color.

Lipstick adds the finishing touch to makeup. It
should help unite the other colors you have
used and really bring your face alive. However,
if it is badly applied, it will look clumsy and
unsubtle. The answer is to use a lip liner 10 give
lips a neat, defined edge and to build up color
using a lip brush. To make the most of your
individual lip shape, or to correct a particular
problem, see Effects for Lips

Step 1

Soften lips by gently rubbing on a small
amount of moisturizer. This will help
the Lipstick 10 glide on more easily.

Step 2

Apply a very light touch of your normal
foundation to act as a base and help
even out the color.

Step 3

Outline the natural edge of the lips
with a lip liner that is not more than
one shade darker than your chosen lip
color. This keeps color from bleeding
and gives a guideline for applying lipstick.

Step 4

Use a lip brush to apply lipstick; this
gives you more control over direction.
Relax your mouth so that it falls slightly
open and brush on color from the corners
to the middle point of both lips.

Step 5

Press lips gently with a tissue, but be
careful not to smudge the color or to
remove loo much. Then brush on more
color to create a deeper effect.

Step 6

For a malic effect, dust lips lightly with
translucent powder using a powder
brush. For a shiny finish, use a clear or
colored lip gloss on top of lipstick
