Mastering the Art of Lipstick Application: A Step-by-Step Guide
For a polished, long-lasting lip look, it’s essential to incorporate a lip liner pencil and apply your lipstick with care. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you master the art of lipstick application.
Step 1: Prep Your Lips
Before you start, ensure your lips are smooth and hydrated. Exfoliate gently with a lip scrub to remove any dry skin, and follow up with a light layer of lip balm. Let the balm absorb for a few minutes, then blot off any excess with a tissue. This will create a smooth base for your lip products, preventing them from settling into fine lines. You can also use a lip primer.
Step 2: Outline with a Lip pencil
Choose PAC's best lip liner pencil that closely matches your lipstick shade or is slightly darker for a more defined look. Start by outlining the cupid’s bow, then move to the corners and connect the lines along your natural lip shape.
Step 3: Fill in the Lips with Lip Liner
After outlining, fill in your entire lip area with the lip pencil. This will ensure the longevity of your lipstick and prevent it from feathering or fading throughout the day. The liner acts as a base, helping the lipstick adhere better and stay vibrant for long hours.
Step 4: Apply Lipstick
Now it’s time to apply your lipstick. For precision, use a lip brush to apply the lipstick starting from the center of your lips and working outward. Blot your lips with a tissue to remove excess product.
Step 5: Clean Up the Edges
To finish, use a concealer or a small brush with foundation to clean up any mistakes and sharpen the edges of your lips.
