Why this worksBold lip colours can instantly elevate your makeup game, adding a touch of glam and festivity. The key is in the layering and blending techniques, which create depth and dimension. Using a lip liner first helps define your lips and keeps the colour from feathering, while a finishing gloss adds that luscious shine.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Prep Your Lips Start by exfoliating your lips gently with a lip scrub or a soft toothbrush. This removes dead skin and creates a smooth base for your lip products.
  2. Apply Lip Liner Choose a lip liner that matches your lipstick shade. Outline your lips to define their shape, then fill in slightly to create a base for your lipstick.
  3. Layer on Lipstick Select a vibrant lipstick shade. Using a lip brush, apply the lipstick evenly over your lips, blending into the lip liner for a seamless finish.
  4. Add Gloss For a festive touch, apply a clear or matching lip gloss on top of the lipstick. This enhances the colour and adds a beautiful shine.

Where people go wrong

Many skip lip prep, leading to a flaky look. Others apply gloss too early, which can mix with lipstick and dull the colour. Not blending the lip liner properly can create harsh lines, so ensure a smooth transition.

The pro moveFor long-lasting wear, blot your lips with a tissue after applying lipstick, then reapply a second layer.
