It is much easier to choose a lip color pencil than to use a darker color that will have to be blended.
Steps:
- Start by choosing a color to match your lips or your lipstick. Outline the top line.
- Extend the line across the entire upper lip.
- Swipe the pencil all over the lower lip.
- Draw the line along the bottom lip.
- Fill in missed areas and blend.
Tips for a long-lasting lipstick
- While there are lipsticks specially formulated to last a long time, most are really very dry. Here are some techniques to optimize the hold of classic lipsticks.
- Using a pencil the same color as your lips, draw the outline of the mouth and color the inside. This base allows you to fix the layer of lipstick applied on top.
- Use pencil over lipstick to create a protective barrier.
- Apply the lipstick in small strokes with your fingertips to better set the color.
- Set the lipstick by applying a veil of powder or blush on top.
