Now that the lip liner is on, we're going right to the pink lipstick. I chose a very bubble gummy pink. You can do a sheer pink, a frostier pink, a little bit of a deeper pink, but you want to kind of stick to this guideline. You want kind of a bubble gummy Barbie doll kind of pink. As far as the lipstick goes, you can apply as much or as little as you want depending on the color. You want to basically fill in the whole lip. This is a matte lipstick, so I don't really need to apply a lot of it. It's going to go on pretty pigmented. If you have a sheer natural or a sheer frosty lipstick, you might need to apply a little more. Blend really well. Make sure it's all over the entire lip. You don't want to really see a lip line. You want everything to blend in. I don't want the lip liner to stand out too much. Once the lipstick is on, the last thing is just to add some gloss. For this look, you really want to keep the gloss just where the lips would naturally pout, so in the center of the bottom lip and the center or the top lip where you would naturally pour or blow a kiss. Exactly. There you go. There's your pink Pamela Anderson lips.
