As a seasoned makeup artist, I've found that while mixing shades can be creative, selecting the perfect one for your natural tone is far simpler. Opt for a lipstick that suits you straight from the tube—never buy one needing tweaks to match.
- Choose your ideal shade and apply with a lip brush for precision or directly from the bullet.
- Start from one mouth corner, sweeping an even layer across the full upper lip.
- Stay within the natural lip line; use a brush for crisp definition.
- Continue to the other corner, covering bottom and top edges seamlessly.
- Fill the lower lip evenly, then press lips together to blend flawlessly.
