Step two: If you are like me and just simply buff your lips or you like to use the moisturizer while you buff, after you have finished step one liberally apply Aquaphor (or a similar product) to your lips. Leave it on while you do the rest of your make up.
Step three: When you are finished with your makeup and are ready to put your lipstick on take a tissue and wipe off the Aquaphor. You lips will be nice and soft. You can apply a thin layer of lip moisturizer again if you want to. Aveda Lip Saver is a nice product because it has SPF 15 in it.
Step four: Apply a light foundation base. I find that using a dab of concealer from a concealer stick from Yves Saint Laurent works well.
Step five: To make your lips pop, using a highlighter like the Touche Eclat from Yves Saint Laurent, your lips and blend. Also, for even more definition trace your lips with a white pencil. Some people like to do this at different points in their processes so do this step whenever you think works best for you.
Step six: Apply lipliner (some people may like to skip this part but I think it is necessary). I like the lips stick pencil/brush from Shiseido.
Step seven: With a lipstick brush or just the lipstick, apply the lipstick.
Step eight: Blot your lips five or six times.
Step nine: With a lipstick brush (you do not have to but I think it is a nice tool to have here because this is the most serious application part) reapply your color.
Step ten: take your finger and wrap your lips around it (that sounds oddly sexual but it will prevent the lipstick from getting on your teeth.
You are ready to go!
