Step-by-step guide: (Lipstick)

Step 1: Prepare Your Lips:

Start with clean and moisturized lips. You can apply a thin layer of lip balm or lip primer to create a smooth base. This will help the lipstick glide on more easily and keep your lips hydrated.

Step 2: Optional: Lip Liner:

If you choose to use a lip liner, select a color that matches your lipstick or is a shade lighter. Outline the natural shape of your lips, starting from the center of your upper lip and following the curve of your lips. Then, outline your lower lip in the same manner. Lip liner can help prevent lipstick from feathering or bleeding.

Step 3: Applying the Lipstick:

Here's how to apply lipstick directly from the tube:

Start with your upper lip:

Begin at the center of your upper lip and follow your natural lip line to the outer corners. Fill in the rest of your upper lip using smooth, even strokes.

Move to your lower lip: Glide the lipstick along the lower lip, following its natural curve.

Step 4 : Using a Lip Brush (Optional):

If you want more precision or a softer look, you can use a lip brush to apply the lipstick. This can help you control the amount of product you apply and blend the color more evenly.

Step 5: Blotting:

After applying the lipstick, gently press your lips together, or lightly blot your lips with a tissue paper. This helps to remove excess product and prevent lipstick from transferring onto your teeth.

Step 6: Optional: Concealer:

For a neat and polished finish, you can apply a small amount of concealer around the edges of your lips. This helps to define your lip shape and clean up any mistakes.

Step 7: Check Your Teeth:

To avoid the embarrassing lipstick-on-teeth situation, put your index finger in your mouth, close your lips around it, and then pull it out. Any excess lipstick that would have ended up on your teeth will now be on your finger.
