1. Before outlining the lips check that your lips are smooth and grease free. Use a sharp lip liner pencil in a shade close to that of your lipstick color and lightly outline the lips.
2. Fill in the lips with a special base or balancer to even out the skin tones.
3. Using a lip brush, fill in the color. For the upper lip start at the center and work outwards. On the lower lip work from side to side.
4. Fold a clean tissue and place it between your lips. Press the lips lightly together to remove the excess color and to help seal the remainder.
5. Finally finish with a lip gloss to get a gleaming look. However, women with extra-full lips, should use lip gloss very sparingly.
