1. Using a toothbrush or disposable mascara wand + lip balm, remove any dead skin by gently scrubbing in circular motions.
   This is crucial especially when wearing a matte finish!
2. Outline the perimeter with a nude liner to prevent feathering.
3. Apply red lipstick directly from the tube.
4. Using an eyeshadow blending brush + translucent loose powder, powder your lips to really set the color.
5. Apply a second coat with a lip brush to smooth edges + perfect lines.
