All about lips

Need ideas for flawless lip make-up to turn every smile into a true masterpiece? We have the perfect video tutorial: learn how to define your lips, create a blended lip look and enhance them to the max with a 90s lip look. STEP 01

The importance of the lip pencil. The secret - no longer so secret - is what would seem the most trivial of all: for lips framed like works of art, you need lip liner. What for? To intensify and define your lip shape and to help reduce lipstick smudging (especially liquid lipstick), for a professional finish. How to apply it: follow the contour of the lips with a thin line, depending on the desired effect, and then proceed to apply the lipstick. STEP 02

For elegant lip make-up with a natural finish? Add some shading with the lip pencil and you’re ready to go! The ideal solution to give your lips a touch of colour and that classic, super-romantic allure. How to create a blended lip look? Simple and really beautiful: apply lipstick on the lips but only on the central part, without spreading it on the contours. Blend with the fingertips so that the formula is less uniform on the lips. STEP 03

Looking for a dose of nostalgia? Try a two-toned shaded lip look -with a darker lip pencil and lighter lipstick on the inside- like a CD played at full volume, an absolutely irresistible 90s make-up look. Want to turn back time? Define the contour of your lips with a pencil that is darker, on the brown side, than the lipstick you will be wearing (pink ideally). Thicken the liner at the corners of the mouth for an even more intense result. Apply lipstick and finally a coat of transparent lip gloss. STEP 04

If you are a fan of practical solutions, a 2-in-1 product with a matte formula on one side and transparent lip gloss on the other is just the thing for you. The flocked applicator follows the contour of the lips providing pure colour and definition, the lip gloss coats the lips in light and allows you to follow your mood and change up your look in a single stroke.
