Below are simple ways you can apply your lipstick perfectly every single time.

a lighter foundation powder to mute out the color of your lips to mute the colour of your lips.

After that, you can apply the colour of your choice.

  • Trace and fill lips with liner

  • Layer on lipstick from the center outward

When applying lipstick place the lipstick in the middle of your lips and work outward.

If you have trouble making your lipstick look even, try drawing an “X” on the cupid’s bow with your lip liner.

This will help you get a well-defined cupid’s bow ensuring that neither side ends up lopsided.

  • Use a lip brush

To achieve a flawless application, you need a sharp lip pencil and pointed lipstick.

Some people, however, may feel more comfortable applying lipstick with a lip brush, as it gives a more precise and even application.

  • Blot and set your color
