ENSURE lips are soft and smooth by applying a lip balm and allowing it to absorb for a few minutes.
SMOOTH a tiny amount of foundation over your lips to create a base, or use an actual lipstick primer.
CAREFULLY follow your natural lip line with a lip liner that is close to your natural colour. (This helps to prevent you lipstick bleeding around the edges).
APPLY your chosen lipstick with a lip brush evenly.
Blot with a tissue, re apply lipstick and lightly blot again.
ADD a touch of lip gloss to add volume and create the illusion of fuller voluptuous lips, and a touch of white shimmer in the cupids bow to accentuate.
