Choose the color you want to use: Are you light-skinned or dark-skinned? If you belong to the firsts, those tones you use will make you look lighter, so the cherry and wine tones will be your best allies. If on the other hand, you are of dark complexion, brown-based colors will be perfect for you. The best advice: try all the colors you want to know which one suits better on your skin.

Prepare your lips: the important thing about this step is that when you exfoliate and moisturize your lips first and use a primer, then you have a perfect base to use your favorite lipstick, and the color will last longer without fading.

Use lip liner: Do you remember some time ago the lip liner was very used along with contrasting colors? it has returned, this time to set the limit for the color of your lips and keep it in place. This lip liner should be a color similar to or equal to the lipstick you wear.

Use a brush: help yourself with brushes and applicators to fill each part of your lips with care, try not to exceed the edge that you have drawn with the pencil. Remember that imperfections can become visible with darker tones.

Clean teeth: An extremely important step. You should always look in the mirror to see the result, and your teeth should be kept clean. Some dark colored lipsticks may stick to your teeth if you eat or drink anything. Make sure you do not fall victim to your look.

Don’t use on cracked lips: Your lips should be healthy so your makeup looks good. The matte finishes on lips are usually “dry” and if you have cracked lips you will notice. To prevent this, exfoliate your lips in your beauty routine.

Use corrector: Once finished the application, check if your lipstick is on your lips area. If you left some or stained you can correct the stroke with a concealer. This will also give you the perfect frame.

Those lipsticks can be accompanied by a simple makeup on the eyes, giving prominence to the lips, and your outfit should be contrasting with the lipstick tone.
