·         First prime your lips with a good base of foundation and powder. Be sure to use lipstick with the same color range as the rest of your make-up.

·         Outline your lips with a lip pencil a tone or two darker than your lipstick shade. Define the bow on the upper lip with two precise strokes.

Continue the line of the upper lip, keeping your mouth closed and relaxed. Use short strokes, as they are easier than a continuous line. On the lower lip work from the center out to the corners.

If you find it difficult to position the line accurately, place your forefinger and middle finger at the corners of your lips and pull them taut.

Work some lip color into a brush and fill in the outline from the center to the corners. Work gradually toward the outline, don't cover it with a lipstick.

Open your mouth wide and brush the lip color into the corners so that there are no unfinished edges.

To get a good lip line, make an "E" sound and keep mouth in that position while applying lip liner.
