Application of Lip Makeup
1. Get the client to apply a thin layer of vaseline to the lips and blot with a thin piece of tissue.
2. Using the metal spatula take a small amount of lipstick onto the metal palette.
3. Line the lips with either lipstick or lipliner using a clean sharpened pencil or the pointed edge of the angled brush.
4. Fill in the rest of the lip with a matching colour using a flat lip brush.
5. Blot the lips onto a piece of tissue.
6. Apply a thin layer of translucent powder to seal in the lip colour.

8. Taking a flat concealer brush line around the mouth to neaten up any bleeding colour and sharpen the overall appearance of the application. 

Reflection on Class
I found the application of the lips slightly challenging as it was important the lips were symmetrical and within the natural lip line, or slightly outside of it if it is the desired effect. It was also important to choose the appropriate colour that would compliment the skin tone best to avoid the teeth appearing yellow or colour looking to harsh against the skin. However once the initial outline of the lips was completed the process of filing in the rest of the colour was relatively easy, I feel it would benefit me to practise outlining the lips with both a brush and pencil on a variety of lip shapes to become more confident at this application.
