• With a brush, gently wipe a light concealer over the lips. This gives you a nice clear line for when you add your lip liner. It also creates a nice base for your lipstick, bringing out its true color.

• Use a sharpened, neutral lip liner around the edge of the lips. Blend it softly in or you won’t be left with any definition once you apply your lipstick.

• Blend a thick layer of lipstick into the lips and pencil line.

• Open mouth slightly to apply lipstick into inner corners.

• Place a thin layer of tissue over the lips and apply loose or pressed powder through the tissue to set the lipstick in place. The tissue gives a finer coverage of powder going through
to the lips so that you aren’t removing the lip color — you’re just making it matte and setting it in place.
