Step 1

First up, you want to create your perfectly drawn, long-lasting base. For this, you use a lipliner.

Don’t rush this part. Begin by drawing on your outer lip line. Start with your ‘Cupids Bow’, then the centre of your bottom lip joining up on the outer edges.

Working from the centre outwards enables you to create perfect symmetry.

Next, apply your lipstick on top of your liner base.

Step 4

Et Voila!
