Your goal

Control intensity and shape without needing several new lip products.

Try it step by step

  1. Begin with comfortable, clean lips and follow the product's preparation instructions.
  2. For a soft effect, apply a little color near the center and blend toward the edge with a lip brush.
  3. For a defined effect, use small liner strokes along your natural lip boundary, blend slightly inward and add lipstick. Check the corners before adding another layer.

Practise this

Photograph a softly blended lip and a defined lip in the same light. Decide which you prefer for an everyday routine.

Check your result

The edge is intentional and the corners are tidy.

A common mistake

Leaving a heavy liner boundary that is disconnected from the lipstick.
