I found these 3 secrets in September's issue of Health. (Yes, I just got a chance to read it not long ago.)
Secret #1 Soften Up First
Perfect application starts before you even pick up your 'stick. To create a smooth base, massage on a lip scrub for 10 seconds, then wipe it off with a tissue or rinse with water. (Blakely loves BeautiControl's Lip Apeel. Check it out here.) Don't slather on balm before lipstick because it allow the color to adhere to your lips.
Secret #2 Stay Within the Lines
Somehow lip liner became synonymous with lip outliner, but that's not the prettiest way to use it. Instead, with the side of the pencil point, gently sketch along the edge of your lips. You don't want a perfect line, you're just shading to define lips and keep color from bleeding. (Blakely loves BeautiControl's new Lip liners here.)
Secret #3 Keep Application Simple
This isn't from the magazine since lip color apperance has changed for the spring. Shine is in for spring and to get that shine apply gloss or lipstick with a brush to add shine. I love the brush applicator with BC color lip shimmers here.
