HOW TO DO IT
- To create a flawless canvas and prevent fading, prep your pout with a creamy primer. press the concealer-like formula into your lips to fill lines and help anchor the color.
- Trace your natural lip line with a clear waxy pencil. A transparent one give definition and protects against feathering without the risk of looking fake or severe.
- Once you've found your perfect shade of crimson - crisp and blue-based for fair skin, orangey for olive, and Burgundy for dark complexions - apply color directly from the tube, not with a lip brush. Press the color in with your fingertip.
- Complete the look with glowing skin and two coats of black mascara
