Apply lipstick from the center out, then to bottom lip sweeping color from corner to corner. Avoid bright, glossy, or light colors. Draw a fairly thick lip line just inside the natural lip line. Soften the line with a lip brush, then apply lip color. Use them to prevent the color from spreading into surrounding skin or from seeping into wrinkles and fine lines around the lips.
Lips have very few oil glands, and are therefore prone to early wrinkling.
Then use a slightly thicker lip brush for the precise and smooth application of lipstick and lip gloss. A full rounded mouth shape is younger looking. Flat thin lips are harsh and strict. To find the ideal width for your lips, stare straight ahead into a mirror. Draw an imaginary line from the inner curve of the iris, down the cheeks to the lips.
