For the upper lip, start at the centre and work out, to-wards the comer of the mouth. Forthe lower lip, work from side to side 

2. Priming the lips - Fill in the lips with a special base or balancer to even out the skin tones. If your lips are of an even colour, use a face powder .as a base 

3. Filling up - Using alipstick brush,fill in the colour. For the upper lip, start at the centre and work outwards. On the lower lip work from side to side. Don’t pile up too much colour. It is much easier to add more later than to rempve any excess.

5. Finally finish with a lip gloss to geta gleaming look.

Shaping up your lips : Through a knowledge of what you can do to correct lip shape you can truly achieve a perfect Lips Makeupfinish to your face. Study the shape of your lips, identify the defects if any and decide on what you want to achieve and then proceed.

For thin lips : These are easily corrected by taking the pencil outside the natural lip line

Work slowly and steadily to form a perfect shape. Fill in with a primer and finally with the lipstick. A highlight of frosting on the upper lip would also create an impression of fullness.

For crooked lips : Asymmetry in lips should be studied well and you will be able to correct the shape by adjusting the outline to provide a perfect balance .

For shapeless lips : Draw the most flattering shape by emphasizing the centre of the top lip and adding fullness to the lower.
