Nothing impresses your friends more than a perfect lip line,
because it is the hardest makeup application to do.To get it, avoid applying
the lip pencil too heavily, which will be difficult to blend and soften into
the lipstick. Keeping your mouth closed lightly trace the lip line with the lip
pencil so it can barely be seen, but can be used as a guide line.
Hold the brush horizontally to trace along the lip line, and
do a little bit at a time, backing up and going over it again. Don't try to get
the whole line in one stroke. The best lip brush is a sable with a slightly
tapered edge, not straight one.
This provides more control and a cleaner line.If you are
really pressed for time, apply lipstick only on the bottom lip and press your
lips together. Then, blend out to the lip line with the edge of a lip brush,
not the tip, for a precise line, or use a dampened cotton swab for a soft,
natural lip line.
When finished, instead of blotting the lips by biting a
tissue, lay the tissue across both lips while your mouth is closed. This will
imprint your lips, including the edges of the mouth where lipstick usually
bleeds. Perfect!
