Best Matte Lip Tutorial With Nikkie Tutorials This gorgeous vlogger from the Netherlands creates some of the most sparkly, colorful makeup tutorials around. Here she takes us back to basics by schooling us on the right way to apply matte lipstick -- without using lip liner.
Trick No. 1 to getting a perfectly drawn lip? Start with a blank canvas by applying foundation or concealer all over your lips. The next thing you're probably doing wrong? Applying your lipstick straight from the tube. Instead, she says, use your favorite lip brush to draw a precise "X" on your cupid's bow so that your right and left side will be symmetrical. Once your lips are fully filled in, clean up any messy edges with concealer. There you have it, a supereasy, supersymmetrical matte pout.
Nikkie's Tools: Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick, $20, or Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick, $20.
