The kissable pout
When choosing lipsticks always sample tones on your skin, preferably your hands. And choose shades that compliment your skin tone. Always blend different shades. There is only one you and unfortunately not every brand can change their lipstick colours to suit your everyday mood. So, it is imperative to pick three or four shades you like, then blend them according to your preference….you’ll thank me later!

To apply the shade of your dreams, and have it last throughout the day, be sure to prep skin first. It’s imperative to moisturize with a lip balm first then apply makeup on the lips. An added tip: if you have dry chapped lips, use an exfoliating lip scrub, like ‘Mary Kay Satin Lips’ to keep lips smooth and lipstick ready.
When applying your lipstick(s) line, do the lips first with a shade of lipliner a shade darker than the lip colour or a shade closest to your skin tone.

• Line lips from the outer corners to the center of lips
• Smile as you go to get a smoother finish
• Hold the liner on tilt and glide along the natural lip line
• Smudge the lip liner towards the inner area of the lip
• Feather from the base the line inwards
• Use your finger to do so until it’s faded and blended and no straight lines are visible.

Smile as you apply your lipstick from the outer corner inward. Leaving no sharp edges.
If you desire, a more ombré effect, leave the middle of lips untouched, and apply a tone a shade lighter to the inner area of lips. Smack your lips to blend, or use your fingertips. Use a tissue to remove excess oils from applied lipstick. Gently pressing your lips onto the tissue. Then no more, the more you rub your lips together the more lipstick is removed.
