Hi, my name is Sonja Gjokaj. I'm the owner of Gjokaj Make-Up and I'm here with Expert Village to talk to you about make-up for production. Now, we actually want to bring out the lips. You really want to stay within the color palette that we used on Sheena before or that you were going to use on your client or on yourself. If you ever, if you ever need to do make-up on yourself for any sort of photo shoot or production. And I used pretty much a very nude palette, so that's what I want to finish off with on the lip. Now, a good rule of thumb, is if you're ever in a pinch and you want to look for a liner because that's where you start with or what you start with. Look at the color on the inside of your lip and then try to match that, the pencil to that rather than trying to experiment with different colors. That really gives you a pretty good idea. And Sheena, here, has kind of like a warm pink on her lip and so that's what I'm going with. And since, you really want the lipstick to stay on for a long time, the trick of the trade is really to use your lip liner as a primer. So first you line, and really stay pretty close to your natural lip line. You don't want to go over or even under. Just like that. So we're lining the lip. So you really want to line and what I'm doing here now is, I'm actually filling in a little bit with these sort of jaggedy moves. I'm filling in the entire lip. So I'm using this as my primer. This will ensure that the lipstick will actually last for much longer. And you don't need as many touch-ups.
