Hi, my name is Susan, and I'm a makeup artist. Today, I'm going to show you how to apply lipstick without a lip brush. Now first, of course, you're going to need your favorite lipstick color and now you're going to remove the top from the lipstick, wind it on up and then with one of your fingers, you're going to take a little bit off the top. Then when you've got enough color, you simply dab it onto your lip. And this actually creates a really pretty stained effect so it doesn't look like you're too made up or anything of that nature, it looks nice and natural. So once you've got the bottom done, you can actually smudge it onto your top lip or add a little more from your tube and dab some on to the top. And viola, applying lipstick without a lip brush. Hope you enjoyed and learned a little something new as well. Thank you.
