How to Apply Lip Color
Hi! My name is Davina, this is my model Kirsten and we’re here on behalf of expertvillage.com. In this clip I’ll demonstrate how to apply lip color. Lip color is used to color the lips and enhance or correct the shape. When selecting a lip color consider your eye make-up color and your skin tone. If your eye make-up is a darker color, select a lighter lip stick. If your eye make-up is soft, use a more bold lip color, aim for symmetry and balance. When applying start in the center of your lips, work around your arch, blending out to the corners of your mouth, repeat on the opposite side. Use round motions, do it around the arch and work out towards the corner, repeat on the bottom. Making sure it’s blended with the lip liner. And that’s how lip color is applied.
