Lips

Lip Care is always important if you are going to create a lip design on your model. You need to ensure to care and prime your lips before you add any products. This could be either done by using a lip scrub to rub away any dry chapped skin, or by applying a layer of Vaseline to the lips for 20 minutes while you prime the rest of the face.

• To make the lips look bigger than they really are, use a lip liner that is of a similar colour to the lips. A dark pink tone so that when you draw around the lips it looks the exact colour ensuring that the line doesn't look fake.

• The best way to apply product onto the lip is with a stiff flat thin brush.

• Start from the cupids bow using the thinness and flatness of your lip brush. This brush is perfect for applying make-up to the lips as it gives you a great even application and perfect precision.

• Then go into the lips from the outer corner, drag up the brush from the outer corners to the centre of the lips. By dragging from outer corner to centre, this allows a steady and perfect curved line. This would be harder to create starting from the cupids bow out to the corners.

• Use this same technique with the bottom lip, starting from right in the outer corner, gliding the brush down the the centre of the bottom lip. Then Fill this in and ensure line is perfect and symmetrical to the entire lips.

• To ensure lips are even, hold a hand held mirror right in front of your models lips and stand behind her looking into the small mirror. This will allow you to spot any unevenness that you wouldn't spot in the big mirror in front of you.

Always clean brushes between each model and mix lip mix on back of hand in case model has a cold sore or any other infection/illness. This will stop spreading.

My personal favourite lipstick by Rimmel is Kate Moss's Collection. This is Kate's first Lipstick Collection with a High intensity of pigmented colour which lasts up to an amazing 8 hours! I find it lasts this long when I have applied a lipbalm base first as a lip primer, otherwise it does tend to fade before the 8 hours are up! It has a great creamy texture, its a dream to apply and doesn't go dry, even without a lip balm underneath. This is an amazing product for a cheap £5.49! Another amazing bargain from Rimmel!
