Next up. Lipstick base.
-Keep "coloring in" your lips with a lip pencil to create an even base for your lipstick. This will help increase the longevity of the color and prevent smudging;
-Then, evenly apply your lipstick without going outside the lip line. This way, you can achieve maximum color saturation and define the edges more clearly. The base will prevent the lipstick from feathering and settling into the cracks of your lips.
❗Make sure to carry your lipstick and lip pencil in your handbag for touch-ups throughout the day.
