BACK TO BASICS
If you have never been a lipstick wearer, where do you begin? For those who have favoured the smokey eye over a bold lip, having a “power pout” will feel strange to begin with, but be warned, it’s an addictive look once you nail the application. Lisa offers her advice for mistake-proof lip colour. “Keeping your lips in good condition with quality balms is a great start. Next you want to shape your lips with a lip liner, and this may mean going over your natural lip line to get balance. Lastly, fill in your lips using a lip brush loaded with the lip colour.”
