- Using a fingertip on the non-lipstick-wielding hand as a guide, position the tip of the lipstick on the center of your mouth's bow.
- Draw half a heart from the bow to the edge of your mouth. At the same time, trace the top line of your lip with your fingertip to shield from wobbles.
- Use the same fingertip to mark the center of your lower lip and to use as your guide.
- Sweep the color to each corner of your mouth. Don't rub your lips together; you'll only smear the color.
