Pro Tips:

For the best results always make sure the lips are smooth before applying a lipstick. Lip scrubs or exfoliating products work best. Lip primers help prepare the lips for long wearing results too.
To avoid bleeding use a lip liner too. Lip brushes help blend in your lip liner into your lipstick flawlessly.
