“When you go for high shine, it’s important to mattify the outside contours of the lip so that the gloss doesn’t budge (I like to use an eye base from Dior). Start with a red pencil as a base, and then apply your gloss.”

“I can’t say it enough: I love matte red lips. But I love them even more when they look perfect and stay perfect all day so I can forget about them. I love the long-wear Sephora Cream Lip Stain! It stays on, and the color and texture are amazing.”
