Apply The Color

The key with applying lipstick is to fill in the lips enough for a rich color, but not to go outside the lines. To keep the color bold and rich looking, to top of the stain with a lipstick in a matching shade. To balance out rich lip color, keep the rest of your makeup minimal and modern. If you have thin lips, don’t choose dark shades, stick to bold and light ones.
