Apply straight from the tube or use a Paula's Choice Lipstick Brush for a more exact, precise application.

It is helpful to apply lipliner prior to lipstick to define and shape the mouth as well as to provide an "anchor" for the lip color to enhance its wear.

It is also an option to apply lipstick first, blot, then apply lipliner and blend with a brush to soften the line. To maintain SPF 15 sun protection, finish by reapplying Sheer Cream Lipstick.

Do not attempt to reshape or redraw the mouth with lipstick or lipliner! As a general rule, those with small lips should stick with creamy or matte lipsticks in lighter, bright colors and those with large, full lips can opt for matte or creamy but should be cautious with very dark, bold, or bright colors.

Lipstick is an essential step for a full makeup application (NOT lip gloss, which is too sheer and fleeting). Applying color to the lips will balance a face already enhanced with cheek color and eyeshadow/liner.

If your lipstick has caked or your lips have dried a bit, make sure you wipe off any traces of lipstick before reapplying. Forgetting to do this will make reapplication look sloppy and unattractive. If the dryness is severe, apply a lip balm or gloss prior to your lipstick.

Lipstick and/or lipliner almost always cake up if they are applied to the inner corners of the mouth. For the sake of a neat, beautiful application, stop the lipstick just before the mouth's inner corner!

The color of your lipstick should be tonally similar to that of the rest of your makeup. An example of what does not work would be wearing a plum or mauve blush with a coral-toned lipstick.
