Lip basics

  1. While you’re doing the rest of your makeup, soften lips with a little balm.

  2. Apply a lip pencil or crayon to define shape but don’t just outline your lips, fill in the whole lip area.

  3. Dust the area lightly with a little powder.

  4. Apply lipstick, then blot and dust with powder.

  5. Apply a second coat of lipstick and line the outside of your lips again to help prevent lipstick bleed.
