Before using the lip color, treat your lips by moisturizer or a specialy designed lip primer, to keep color long lasting without feathering. While using the color, widen the lips and start from the center of the lip and glide the color to the corners. Lip brushes help you to give better finish to coloring your lips and avoid the application of surplus color. A fast way of applying lip color is to employ the lipstick to blemish the bottom lip, squash them together to transfer some of the color to the upper lip and then use the angle tip of the sponge applicator to process lip edges.

The uncovered lip looks can be obtained by using neutral pink lip color that matches your skin tone. Pale colored women can go for light orange color with a pinkish tint while olive skin can employ brownish bronze shade. Use of lip liners should be restricted to avoid getting the harsh lines. Apply gloss at the center of your lip and you are ready to go. Apply a finely-tipped lip pencil to outline and define your lips. Start from the centre and slowly move to the corner of the mouth for the upper lip. Then frame out the lower lip starting from one side aheading towards the other. Take a good amount of lipcolor in the brush and fill in the lips, blending into the inner edges of the pencil line.

Select a lip color such that shows your teeths whiter, remember a general rule, blue-toned (rather than orange-toned) reds and pinks and browns will make your teeth emerge whiter. Employ a clean tissue paper to wipe of the excess of color by placing it between the lips and pressing lightly. Reapply the colour for a finished and subtle look. Lastly a gloss or simply Vaseline may be employed to lend lustre.
