Apply lip
balm
Dot your lip with lip balm to smooth them and reduce crevices. This will help
give you an even application of lipstick.
Use a lip liner
Choose a color that matches your lips, not your lipstick. Before drawing a line
with the lip pencil, begin by dotting it at various points along the outline of
your lips. Then, drawing very lightly, use the liner to connect the dots.
Apply lipstick
Pick up the lipstick and apply the color, starting at the center of the upper
lip and moving outward toward one corner. Bring the lipstick back to the center
and run it outward toward the other corner. Repeat with the lower lip. To fill
in any missing color, dab the lipstick with your pinky, and then dot the color
onto your lips with the finger.
Blot your lips
To blot, which will make lipstick last longer and keep it off your teeth, take
a facial tissue and fold it in half. Hold it in two hands, with the fold facing
you, then bring it between your lips and press your lips together gently. To
make lipstick last even longer, dust a little powder on the tissue before
blotting.
