Firstly, exfoliate the lips. You can use a muslin cloth to do this, as it provides really gentle exfoliation. A personal favourite of mine however is All About Lips from Clinique.
Next, you need to hydrate the lips using a lip balm or emollient. Another favourite of mine is Burts Bees range of lip balms.
When doing any lip look, you must always consider the three C's. These are:
-The Curve of the lip
-The Colour (Take into consideration the skin tone of your model and choose a colour that will best complement that)
-The Control that certain tools and products will give you, for example lip liners and brushes.
To create the perfect lip shape:
-Tilt your models head so it is at an angle facing you
-Start by drawing a line along the bottom lip, and holding your pencil at an angle start to draw up towards the corners of the mouth. Hold your pencil at an angle for more control and move in backwards and forwards motions until you get the perfect line.
- Start to draw the same on the top lip and finish at the cupids bow.
Adding a gloss to the centre of the lips will make the lips appear fuller.
To make any lipstick matte, hold a tissue over the lips, and using a small powder brush, pat transulcent powder over the lip.
