If you wear dark lipstick, the first thing to do is to scrub your lips. Put on the scrub and massage, then give a balm that you normally use. If it’s too oily, put a tissue on your lips and collect the greasy residue.
Now it’s time to put your purple lipstick on.

Now that you’ve found the right shade of purple lipstick, it’s time to see how to apply the rest of your makeup. Which makeup for eyes and cheeks? Let’s see.
All makeup artists say that you should keep the rest of your outfit and makeup to a minimum. That means you shouldn’t be applying a heavily pigmented eye shadow, eyeliner, and mascara at the same time.
