It's best to apply lipstick with your finger - the heat from your skin will instantly blend it in for the most natural, luscious look. You can also dab it directly on to your lips from the tube. Just be sure to rub your lips together to blend in the color.

Your lips and eyes should never compete for attention. Since eyes are the focus right now, keep lips neutral. If you choose to power up your pout instead, keep the eyes subtle.

There are two mod ways to use liner. Either choose one that is the same color as your lipstick and apply it first for staying power and a refined look, or use it alone with a lip balm underneath and a gloss on top for a supersheer sensation.
