In this video: Layering liner and lipstick so colour stays put

In this lesson

  • Prepping lips so colour goes on smooth
  • Choosing a bridal lip shade for your skin tone
  • Lining to balance your lip shape
  • The tissue-blot-and-powder method for long wear
  • Lip shades by undertone and an at-home kiss test

Lips have to survive more than any other part of bridal makeup: the first kiss, a lot of kisses on the cheek, a glass of champagne and dinner. The good news is that a few layering tricks make almost any lipstick last longer, and they’re easy to repeat for touch-ups.
