Luscious Lips

A makeup application is not complete without great looking lips. This, fortunately, is easy to achieve as really, even a dab of gloss can complete the look.

But if wearing lipstick, here is just one example of the way to do it:
 

• Fill your lips with a natural colour liner first. This will make the lipstick/gloss last longer.
   

• Apply your lipstick with a lip brush, fingers, or straight from the tube.
   

• Line the edges of your lips to perfect the shape of your lips and achieve a natural finish.
   

NOTES

• Again, if training for a professional certification, you should know that people probably won't want you touching their face, and using it straight from the tube is a no-go too, as it transfers one persons lip property to another! Ugh! Brush is best in these circumstances.
   

• Some prefer to apply the liner BEFORE the lipstick as they say it is too hard to see the line of your lips after applying lipstick. You decide!
   

• Never use a liner that is darker than the shade you are wearing. At least match it to your lipstick/gloss, or go lighter.
   

• Lick your lips before taking a sip from a glass or mug to stop it coming off onto it.
   

• If there is no more of your fave lipstick left in the tube, you can still make it last! Simply scoop it all out into a mini eye shadow tub or similar, and mix with vaseline or clear lip gloss. Pop a lid on it and there you go!
   

• For fuller looking lips, dab a dollop of lip gloss to the centre of lip. Don't blot or purse lips together!
