My name is Margo and I’m a lipstick-aholic! I have NEVER been one to wear lipstick because I never knew how to make it work, but now I’m hooked. This year one of my beauty resolution was to incorporate more colorful lip hues into my regimen. Right now I’m pretty stuck on pink, neon orange and red shades. I’m even considering really stepping outside of the box and trying some fun colors like purple and blue! (Yeah, I’m going all out! Lol) There’s no limit to the fun you can have with makeup by simply adding a hint of color to your lips.

Here are a few tips on how to get a long-lasting pretty pout:

1. After you’ve moisturized and primed your face, start by applying concealer to the outer edges of your mouth to help eliminate smudging and to help define the color. Be sure to blend!

2. Next, add a lip primer to create a smooth foundation for your lip product and to give your popping color longevity.

3. For a flawless look make lip liner your BFF! (Choose a shade that’s a little lighter than the lipstick to soften the color, or go darker for a bit of intensified contrast.) Trace your lips, and begin to fill them in with the shade to help define the shape of your lips.

4. Next, add your desired lipstick, and flaunt a beat face!

Smooches!
