LIPS:

Line your lips with a lip liner that is a close colour match to the lipstick you are going to apply. Starting with the cupids bow, slowly outline the shape of your lips, starting in the middle and working your way to the corners of your mouth.

If you want a fuller look, line just outside the edge of your lip. You may choose to fill your entire lip with lip liner before you apply your lipstick - it's up to you.

Now using your lip brush, apply your lipstick starting from the inside of your lip and working your way to the corners of your mouth. Some people swear by the tapered lip brush, others like a more blunted edge brush, or an angled liner brush to achieve their look.

At this point you may choose to apply another layer or another lipstick colour over the top, or blot your lips with a tissue, or apply some lip gloss to add some shine to your pout.
