how to apply lipstick

You could apply lipstick by just slicking it on right from the tube, or you could apply it the way a professional makeup artist would paint her client's lips. The first method would take under a second, but the results pale in comparison to the professional method which requires a lot more care.

Lipstick is applied after foundation and powder. Ideally with a lip brush. A lip pencil in a matching lip color would be good for outlining the lips.

First, pick the lipstick color you want. If you have three lipsticks that flatter your skin tone, one in a light shade, one in a medium shade and one in a dark shade, you can create your own unique color which you personalize just for yourself. Get a small metal spatula to scrape out a little lipstick from each tube and mix the colors on the back of your clean, dry hand until you get the exact shade you want. Then you are ready to begin.

First, outline your lips. Using a lip pencil or the edge of a lip brush if you are lining your lips with lipstick, start from the corner of your mouth and draw the line towards the center of the lip. If you are using a brush, flatten the bristles and use only the edge of the bristles at the tip of the brush to outline your lips. If you are using a lip pencil, make sure, the color matches your lipstick as closely as possible. Draw the other side of the lips from the corner of your mouth, to the center of the lip to meet the other line.

Then paint in the lip color with your lipbrush. After putting on the lipstick, blot it with a tissue paper and apply again.

Finally paint the gloss over the lips for that moist, inviting look.
