Whether you\u2019re a red lip or nude pout kinda gal, you can never underestimate the power of lipstick. It\u2019s a confidence booster and can instantly pull your look together.<\/p>\n

But perfecting your lip look takes more than just applying your favorite color. First, you have to make sure your lips are primed for a lip product. We recommend using a mask beforehand, like the sfglow Sun’s Out Pouts Out Lip Mask<\/a>, to smooth out the lips and soothe any cracks. This mask in particular uses plant-based collagen and watermelon extracts to moisturize the lips.<\/p>\n

Next, you’re going to want to pick a lipstick that deposits a rich color while conditioning the lips. Our pick? The M\u00b7A\u00b7C Cosmetics Powder Kiss Lipstick Duo<\/a>. It contains moisture-coated powder pigments that condition and hydrate lips.<\/p>\n

Now that you’ve picked out your lipstick, take an angled brush (we like to use the Eyebrow Brush from the\u00a0Billion Dollar Brows 6pc Pro Brush Essentials Kit<\/a>) to pick up some color from your lipstick of choice. Then, follow the steps below for the perfect pout.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Step 1<\/h3>\n

On the upper lip line, draw an \u201cX\u201d underneath your cupid\u2019s bow and two dots on either side.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Step 2<\/h3>\n

On the bottom lip line, draw a line on the center and two dots on either side.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Step 3<\/h3>\n

Using the brush, carefully connect the dots.<\/p>\n

\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Step 4<\/h3>\n

Fill in your lips using either the brush or the lipstick.<\/p>\n
