Don't forget to hit that subscribe button
because this is the first installment of a
series of how to's.
Where I am going to be going over the basics
of makeup.
So let's get started on this tutorial.
A key step in having a flawless lipstick application
is making sure your lips are well prepped.
I use the Smith's Rosebud Slave and I apply
all over my lips while I am getting ready
and then I grab a qtip right before I am ready
to apply my lipstick.
I roll that across my lips this is going to
take off any excess product as well as exfoliate
any dead skin that we have.
I will also link in the corner a tutorial
on how I care for my lips.
The next step is going to be a lip primer.
I am going the Mac Prep and Prime Lip this
is my favorite lip primer and the NYX lip
primer is also a great drug store alternative.
Lip primers are great because they are going
to give you some added moisture as well as
prolong the wear of your lipstick.
I also find that they protect your lips from
drying out if you have a very matte lipstick.
Next up is lining your lips, I am going to
be showing you how ti line your lips with
a clear liner as well as a colored.
We're going to start off with the clear, I
am using the Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Ozone
is what I am going to be using today.
Clear lip liners will help with any feathering
or bleeding so all you want to do is apply
that to the perimeter of your lips.
If you really want to define your lip shape
then you want to use a colored liner this
is also going to help your lipstick last even
longer cause it's going to give you a waxy
base.
Make sure this liner is well sharpened cause
you want a very crisp line.
You can also go for a nude liner if you don't
have any that actually matches your lipstick
that will also prolong the wear.
So I start out by defining my cupids bow as
you can see I do this by creating an x.
So I go from one side at the very tip of the
point of the cupid bow and pull downwards
and then repeat on the other side.
The next step is to add a line on the bottom
of your lip, so as you can see I don't use
the point I put it on it's side so you can
drag it along.
That's going to help you get really clean
crisp lines and have more control.
Then I go ahead and I line the outer corners
of my mouth, by pulling upwards.
And your next step is going to be connecting
from that x and pulling down to the corners
and repeat that on the other side.
Right now we are not going to be over lining,
just defining the shape of our lips.
So as you can see I also use my pinky, this
is was gives my stability, so as you can see
I plant it firmly on my chin and I use that
so my hand isn't shaking while I am creating
the lines.
Now I go from the outer corner and I am dragging
that downwards connecting that bottom line.
And then I am going to go ahead and fill in
my entire lip.
You don't have to do this step if you don't
find that your lipstick really needs any help
in lasting, but if you're having any trouble
with your lipstick being patchy or you want
this to last all day go ahead and fill your
lips all the way in with the colored lip pencil.
This is just going to give you a waxy base
and prolong the wear even more.
Go ahead and give your lips a rub together
to that your are diffusing that through all
the line.
Now is when you want to correct.
My lips are not every symmetrical so I go
ahead and over line just to make them look
a little more symmetrical.
This is going to vary depending on your lip
shape.
So I usually start at the cupids bow and I
work my way down.
When you are working n the corner you want
to be mindful to not over line this very far
if you want a more natural look because this
is where it can start to look artificial.
So now that your lips are lined, we're going
to go in with our acutal lipstick color.
I am using the MAc Jacobs Le Marc Lip Creme
in Goddess.
I like to apple this right how of the tube
I don't like to use a brush for the entire
time.
So I am going to apply that to my bottom lip
and then the top lip being mindful to not
go over the line wee created.
And then I smack my lips together so that
the color diffuses well.
Now I am going in with a lip brush.
I am using the Sigma Lip 05 brush and I use
this just to define my lips so I bring the
product all the way out to the perimeter of
where we applied the red liner or your clear
liner.
And I just run this along using the base so
the actual furrel than the top as my leading
point.
This is going to help your lines be a little
more crisp.
If you lines got a little bit wonky somewhere
we can quickly clean that up it's not an issue.
I am using the NARS concealer in Chanilly
with a Sigma line perfecter and just go ahead
and drag that right along the edge of your
lip.
You do want ot make sure you wipe your brush
off with a tissue so you don't drag any of
the lipstick all lover your face.
And that's going to wrap up this how to apply
lipstick tutorial.
