VERA'S TIP Always use a lip brush for definition and precision. Start first by applying lipstick to your lip brush. Move brush along the center of your bottom lip, swiping back and forth two to three times. Gently press your lips together to distribute the lipstick to your upper lip. Then, apply the pigment to the outer corners of your lips, using slightly less product than you did in the center of your lips (as it's a smaller area). Make sure you define the edges of your lips and blend with either your finger or the lip brush to evenly distribute the color, making sure you finish with a clean, even layer.
