1. TLC for your lips: With all eyes on your lips, make sure that they stay soft and supple before applying lipstick. Exfoliate regularly, apply moisturiser as needed and say goodbye to crusty, flaky lips.
2. Define the colour, don’t deny it: Before applying blackcurrant lippy, define your kissers first by outlining them with a matching lip pencil .
3. Add a finishing touch: As a last step apply concealer to the outer edges using an angled brush. Doing so will correct mistakes and ensure that your lips look perfectly shaped.
Important tip: Remember to keep the rest of your makeup minimal - A bold colour like blackcurrant makes a strong statement by itself.
