When it comes to coloring the lip, it's essential to carefully follow your lip shape, whether that’s full, top-heavy, thin, round, or otherwise. Start by using a lip liner to outline your lips. From there, apply your chosen lip color to the top lip, and then press your lips together. Finally, continue your lipstick application by touching up areas for an all-over even color appearance.

You can also use our Lip Brush to apply lip color with exacting precision. For a customized look, layer complementary colors on your lips. .

For lipstick that lasts the day, first make sure you apply your chosen long-wear lip shade to hydrated lips.
