There are so many makeup products out there and sometimes you just don’t have the funds or room for every shade and texture of the season! So here’s an easy way to use products that you may already own to give yourself a newer look. I love the satin lipsticks but adore the look of really bright matte lips where they are the focus of attention. Instead of buying yet another product to create this look, just use what you have!

STEPS:
