How to Apply Lipstick for Prom Makeup

Video Transcript

"Hi! This is Hollie and on behalf of Expert Village we’re going to talk about filling in the lips. After you have your liner done choosing the color that you wanted to do for the look that you’re looking for, you want to start by using a brush always better than using the tube now you can have a tube of lipstick and actually just slide the brush into it and gather enough, using your hand or a sponge take off that excess. You’re going to start by going downward on the lip so you’re following the crease of lips and this is called filling the lip with color, so rather than just having a lipstick that you would just slide around your lips it’s actually just surface. When you use a brush with the bristles and following the creases in your lip you’re actually filling the lip with color and it’ll last much longer through your evening. You’re going to blend that in…find your natural lip line and your lip color is filled but then blended with your liner so you don’t see any kind of line, you don’t want a separation even if you’re using a darker color you don’t want that separation you want somebody to see that you did liner and on that last sweep we’re going to kind of blend those two colors together, lipstick there and have my model go…always good to do and smile pretty."
