Re: Make-up! and all things beauty!
1. Find a lip liner pencil that is close to your own color, but a bit darker and redder.
2. Line your lips. You can get fancy with it as time passes, for example, if you want your lips to look thicker, line them right on the edge, if you want them to look a bit slimmer, just inside the edge. You can also make your lips "pout" more by filling in the edges, and then leaving the middle of your lower lip bare(so it will be brighter once lipstick is applied).
3. Apply lipstick. Use a small brush or a q-tip, rather then putting the stick right to your lips(it gives you more control, and makes the lipstick last longer because you're less likely to contaminate the tube with bacteria from your mouth). Do not do the lip rub thing! Take a tissue and blot, hard, until the tissue starts coming back clean. Repeat application and blotting. That will give you very red matte lips that won't wipe off on things. You will need makeup remover to get it off again.
4. If you want, you can apply clear, red, or very pale pink glittered gloss over the top (the type that has a little brush built in, not stick gloss) for different effects. Just be sure to wipe the brush so you aren't getting red from your lips in the gloss. Simple eye-makeup usually looks best with red lipstick, IMO...nudes, light brown neutrals, or even just mascara.
I don't have time today, but if you want I could post a demo on how to do this.
