1. Prep Your Lips

Start with a clear lip base to get your lips ready.
Base: Mac Prep + Prime Lip

2. Define the Shape

Outline your lips with a lip liner just a shade darker than your lipstick.

Concealer: Mac Studio Fix Conceal and Correct Palette
Powder: Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder - Rose
