Talk to me about lipstick, my combined soshul masses!

In particular, how the hell do you apply the stuff when you don't really have any lips to speak of? I either end up with the barely perceptible impression I might have drunk some red wine or JACKSON POLLOCK CRAYON EDITION.

Lipstick is easy for me - I just don't (except once a year for Halloween, in vampire costume). Now I think of it, most of the women of my acquaintance don't wear lipstick, and it wasn't common in my work environment either. Saves us money, I suppose, and faff time in the mornings.

@sunflowerinrain I am currently committing myself to faff every morning, and I am conscious of my lips being very thin and would like to maybe bring balance to the forceface. Maybe it won't be something I do every day in the end, but I would at least like to have the skill for the occasions when I want to.

I think what you need is a lesson from someone who does make-up for camera (not stage, which I have done: it's quite different and looks shocking close up).

Can't comment on lips (lots of women use filler these days ofc), but if it helps as a general outline, this is pretty much my normal routine, and it's 5-10 minutes

I use different products (a dark brown mascara, a more neutral lippie) but same basic principles
