How to: Lips

Equipment:
-Small angled brush
-Lip moisturiser
-Lip colour or Lip mix

Step by step:
1. Apply a lip prep to the lips to moisturise, ask the client to apply this themselves.
2. Blot the lips to remove any excess product.
3. Using the end of the small angled brush, scrape the lip colour out of the container and warm it up on the back of your hand with the brush bristles.
4. Ask the client to stretch out their lips.
5. Start on the bottom lip corner and bring the lip colour into the middle of the lip, do on both sides.
6. With the point on the top of the bow, bring the colour from the bow to the corners and from the point of the bow to the middle of the bow on both sides.
7. Blot the lip colour with some powder and reapply the lip colour to make it last longer.

I am happy with how the lipstick application turned out, however I need to practise getting the outline perfect! I also want to experiment with mixing different Mac lip mixes and different finishing gels and applying them to the lips.
