Step-by-step lipstick application hackfrom @sunniesface

[01]

Overview

The creator demonstrates a four-step 'lip filler' hack using a lipstick. She first applies a transfer-proof lipstick, then slightly overlines her natural lip line, fills in the rest of her lips for full color, and finally lets it set before dabbing it with a tissue for a more natural, lived-in look.
