My lips are the types that just don’t like to stay coloured for very long! I’m not too sure if that’s because the skin renews itself often, I eat too much, or if I lick my lips too often.
I found a few products and a method that work pretty well for me, so I thought I’d share my techniques with you.

What you’ll need:
Let’s get started!
1. Make sure your lips are clean and not too wet.
2. Apply a very small amount of Lush Ultrabalm to your lips so that it just covers them. Let this absorb in for about 2-5 minutes. The texture is a bit gritty, which I feel helps prime your lips for the colour. This is a great product! It has multiple uses including lip balm, body cream, and after tattoo care.
3. Line your lips with the Gosh Long Lasting Lip Marker. This is a bit of a lip stain, so be careful while applying.
TIP: Do not apply this on your full lips! I’ve tried this once and my lips were dry and flaky for the rest of the night. This is much better for just lining your lips to give them a fuller appearance at the end.

4. Fill in your lips with the Sephora Glossy Lip Pencil (or the lipstick or your choice). Make sure your lipstick matches the lip liner colour very well.
5. Apply a gloss of your choice to finish the look. I found that the Sephora Glossy Lip Pencil was enough gloss for me, but you may want to step it up a little.
Voila! There’s your finished supple lip look!
