Hello Readers!

I know you haven’t heard from me for a few days now but I have been working really hard to bring you some great posts over the weekend. For today’s tutorial, I wanted to do something that I think is often looked over either because of time or intimidation: how to apply your lipstick flawlessly.

In order to apply your lipstick perfectly and make it last longer than just a few hours, it is very important to take care of your lips and prep them for whatever color or product you will be using. For the tutorial I will be using the following products, however you can use any products that you have which are similar.

Step 1:

Step 2:

Step 3:

Step 4:

Step 5:

After this step you have the option of blotting your lips. Blotting your lips entails taking a tissue or something and just ‘blotting’ your lips to get some of the excess product off. I will fold a tissue in half, angle it into the corners of my mouth, and purse my lips down on the tissue. Blotting helps the product set faster so you can apply another layer on top making the product last longer and appear more opaque.

Step 6:

Step 7:

Step 8:

I know lipstick (especially darker colors) can be really intimidating but I hope this tutorial was able to break it down for you! For the longest time I would stay away from lipsticks in the fear of bringing attention to my small lips, but after learning how to actually use lipstick I cant go without it!

What is your go to shade of lipstick?
