APPLY
LIPLINER AND COLOR
Using a freshly sharpened lipliner pencil (I like MAC lipliners, especially
the color 'spice', which goes with nearly everything),
carefully outline just outside the natural line of
your lips.
Fill in your lips with the lipliner. (Using
liner as a base under lipstick makes the color last
longer)
Now apply lipstick or lipgloss INSIDE the
lipline, using a color 1 or 2 shades lighter than
the liner.

HIGHLIGHTING
LIP COLORS
Everyone knows the basic steps above, but here's the
part that really creates that illusion of full, sexy,
(and one other phrase I'll refrain from using here -
HAHAHA!) you-know-what lips:
Just in the middle part of each
lip, add a dab of gloss or lipstick in a super-light
shade from the same color family as your base
lipcolor (ie: pale frosty pink on pink/purple lips,
very pale beige on earth tones)
Apply clear gloss over entire lips
Finally, using just a fingertip, add a touch of
white or silver dust to highlight only the very
center of your bottom lip. (MAC makes a great
sparkly silver highlighting dust, but in a pinch,
you can always use a touch of white or silver
eyeshadow)
Note - Try NOT to do that lip-smacking smoodge-together
thing that all women like to do when they're done
applying lipstick, because it musses the carefully
applied highlighting effect, and makes it wear off
quickly!
Well, that's about it, my friends! Dust a little
translucent finishing powder over your face to keep
it from getting shiny, and you're all done! Now

achieve on my FINISHED FACES picture page...
