Applying products to the lips

• This works if the lips are not dry and flakey, so try to get the model to prepare slightly before (e.g. by rubbing in lip balm)
• Blot this off if there are any products on the lips prior
• Scrape the product onto a palette and use an angled brush to apply
• Ensure you get the model to open their mouth and stretch their lips
• Work the colour in backwards and forwards
• Ask the model to rub their lips together
• Blot this, apply powder over the top and repeat process
• Continue until satisfied
• Apply lip liner if required (dot this around the lips and then join the dots if you are not comfortable drawing a line all in one go)
