The last step in your makeup regime is lipstick application. Some women say if they could have only one beauty item it would be lipstick. Lip colour brings the whole look together to create harmony. To keep your lips looking perfect, have lip colour with you at all times and reapply when needed.
When you select a lip colour take in consideration your clothing and blush colours. The colour of your clothing and blush should complement your lipstick but does not have to be perfectly matched. However, the colours should be in the same intensity and range.
How to Apply Lipstick
Prepare your lips by applying foundation over them, this will help lipstick stay on longer.
Outline and define the shape using a lip pencil that has soft, pointed top. Start at the V in your upper lip drawing down to the corners. Then, starting at the middle of the bottom lip draw a line to the corners.
Fill in upper lip with lipstick or a lip brush ensuring that the colour is a close match to the lip pencil. Lip liner should not be noticeable.
Fill in the lower lip and then blot with a tissue and reapply.
Dab gloss in the centre of your lower lip to create a fuller more glamorous look.
