NYX lip liner in Plush Red

1. Use the lip liner that matches with your lipstick or lip liquid.
2. However you can apply lip liquid or lipstick without lip liner too but I would suggest do it with lip liner application on the boundary of your lips first.
3. Then fill the lips with the lip liner.
4. I would suggest go for: MAC, KYLIE lip liners.

Rimmel moisture renew lipstick in Nude Delight

Makes you make your lips soft and light and you can lighten your lip color the way it is desired. There are 10 shades available in it. I would suggest to have a look at the options and have one in your bag 24/7.

Sugar Cosmetics Its A Pout Time Lipstick in Mad Magenta

These are creamy matte lipsticks but they settle down to a true matte lip colors. They are not powdery mattes so I find them more forgiving. They do not accentuate fine lines on lips and you can get away with these even on non perfect lip days. They glide on easily, do not settle in fine lines. I found that they smudge a bit around the edges so I have to wear a lip liner especially around the edges of my mouth. They are extremely comfortable to wear and they do not dry out the lips.

These are long lasting lipsticks. All of them have stayed on my lips for more than 6 hours and have left a stain behind. Plus they survive full meals. I have worn them all during the day and also to a party. Did not fail at all.  You can also pat these lipsticks on lips and use as a long lasting stain.

Use small strokes

1. When applying liquid lip color, avoid long continuous strokes rather go for small strokes
2. For upper lip start from corner and then come in the middle of the lip
3. However for the lower lip start from the center and then go to the sides.

Use concealer to give it a clean and perfect finishing

In the end use a tissue press it on your lips and then remove. It will pull out any extra concealer on your lips.

Brushes that are used to apply lip color

1. MAC 22A brush
2. Prefer flat and stubby brushes rather than long thin brushes.
3. MAC 231
4. MAC 316

End note: I would suggest go for Anastasia Beverly Hills products or Mac.
