"I'm going to use a kind of nudy pink lip liner on my model. Something that is barely there. I just want to kind of accentuate her natural lip line, maybe make her lips look a tiny bit bigger, because they're very petite. And, I just want to fill in the entire lip with the lip liner so that the lip gloss stay on better. So, I'm going to just use a pencil liner, something that's very creamy and natural, and go right to her lips. And I'm just going to start out by tracing a little but underneath her natural lip line, just a tiny bit underneath. We don't want her lips to looks unrealistically big, but we want them to look just a little bit bigger than her natural lip, just to give them a little plumpness, you know. It looks a little sexier when your lips appear a tiny bit bigger. And so, little by little, I'm just going to gently trace right above her natural lip line. Like I said, this is barely there, kind of nudy pink color. We're not really using it so much for the color, but just the outline. And I'm just also going to fill in her entire lip, because this will keep the lip gloss on longer, and it will also prevent the lips from bleeding. And it just provides a nice base for the lip gloss also. And it's a pretty color. I mean, it's taking out her natural lip color, and we're adding a little bit more of that pinky nude color to her lips, which is going to look great with the lip gloss. So, it's all going to go together really nicely. "
