STEP 1: LIP LINERS
A liplining pencil has a harder consistency than a lipstick and is used to outline the lips so as to clearly define thier shape.It is a great aid, if your lips are not perfectly shaped; you can make the lips appear thinner or fuller or you can draw an uplifted corner if your lips droop.The outlining of the lips in addition, prevents bleeding of the lip product into the tiny lines that are present around the mouth, giving the lips a sharp, defined outline.
STEP2 : LIP COLOUR-LIPSTICKS
The lipstick must be applied twice. After the first application, blot with a tissue paper. Place the tissue on the mouth and pres gently or press the tissue paper between the lips. After blotting the first application of lipstick, reapply. It stays longer by doing so. If you have dark lips, before applying lipstick, put some foundation and powder on your lips, so that you remove all color from your lips. The actual shade of lipstick will now not change on your lips. A pink lipstick will now appear pink on dark lips
