Article: A coat of your concealer will help to secure your lipstick and make its colors more vivid. Try liquid concealer under glossy lipsticks, and powder under matte lipsticks. A thorough coat of lip liner will help your lipstick cling in place. Use a nude shade of lip liner if you'll be applying sheer or neutral lipstick, or try to match the liner to the color lipstick you'll be wearing. Coat your whole pout with lip liner, but avoid filling in your "inner lips" where the teeth naturally hits the lip. Apply your lipstick evenly and within the lip lines. Blot your lips with a tissue to remove excess oils from your first coat, and add a second coat of lipstick to the outer two-thirds of your lips. In addition to providing more vivid colors, a second coat will provide longer-lasting coverage. Form an O with your mouth around your finger, and gently slide your finger straight out of your mouth. This step will remove any lip color remaining on your inner lips, keeping your teeth pearly white. Smile in the mirror and check your teeth for any lingering color. If you see any lipstick, gently rub it away with your pinky finger.

What is a summary?
Apply concealer or powder. Apply lip liner. Apply your lipstick within the lines using a lip brush. Put your finger in your mouth. Check your smile.
