Step 1: Prep Your Lips

       Exfoliate with a soft, damp toothbrush or by homemade lip scrub to exfoliate the dry dead skin cells from your lips

          And hydrated your lip by applying a nourishing lip balm to make those lips soft, supple and healthy-looking.

NOTE: You may apply a lip primer after to make the color stay on longer and to prevent it from bleeding.

Step 2: Apply A Base

         Having any kind of discoloration or an uneven liptone, it’s crucial for your lipstick to have a base to hang onto. So using a concealer shade that matches your lip color will help you to make sure your lipstick does not sink into your lips.

         Dab a little on with a flat brush or a small fluffy brush with your a concealer shade that matches your lip .

         Apply some compact over this to seal the base. It also helps your lip color to stay on longer.

       Trace over your natural lip line from one corner to another with a liner that compliments your skin tone to prevent feathering.

      Don’t worry if the lines on the inside are slightly imperfect because the lipstick will cover them anyway – but it’s the outer lines that matter a lot so don’t worry about the lines on inside of lips as they cover up by lipstick

Note: Use a liner that has a moderately smooth texture for easier application.

Step 4: Apply the Lipstick

     Once you finish all the above steps and choose your lipstick according your skin tone and undertone to avoid messy lips.

       Take some product onto a lip brush and apply it evenly all over your lips. you apply it within the corners of your lined lips and Go coat by coat and intensify the color as you please. generally, one good coat of a quality lipstick will suffice.

Note: If you have dry lips, you should look for moisturizing lipsticks .

          If your lips are on the thinner side, avoid using very dark colors.

Step 5: Add Definition

         This is optional but if you want to give your lips that pouty look, you can add a subtle hint of lip gloss.

          Use a small concealer blush and work on your edges to correct the shape of your lips.
