Speaking with experience, lipstick isn’t always the solution to getting a prettier face. On some occasions, going with a simple face wash is enough to bring in the best of you.

So, make sure you look at how you can create a full face of makeup with just your lipstick.
1. Preparing your face
Step one to creating a full face of makeup using lipstick is to prep your face. Preparing your skin before makeup application is crucial. Thereafter, begin by cleansing your skin by applying your daily skincare routine products, which should contain sunscreen and moisturizer. Moreover, If your face has any places with blemishes or redness, even your skin tone by using concealer or color-correcting primer.

If you have finished prepping your face, it’s time to apply a full face of makeup. Start by creating a base with your lipstick, and select a creamy pigmented lipstick in a shade that goes with your skin tone. Afterward, take the lipstick and start applying it on your forehead, cheeks, and your jaw using a brush or your fingers. To give out a seamless finish effect, blend the lipstick outwards towards your jawline and hairline.
3. Use lipstick to contour
Lipstick is a great way to contour your face. To contour your face, select a darker shade than the one you have used for the base. Proceed to apply this lipstick to your temples, jawline, and the hollows of your cheek. Blend the lipstick by using your finger or a brush to give out a natural-looking contour.
4. Use lipstick to highlight your face
In case you wanted to highlight your features, select lipstick in a lighter shade than the one you used for your base. Apply the lipstick to the brow bone, cupid bow, and the tops of your cheekbone, these are the highlight points of your face. Therefore, to create a subtle highlight, blend the lipstick with your finger or your brush.

Lipstick can be used to define your brows. In case you wanted to define your brows, check, and select a color that complements your hair. Apply the lipstick to your brows and fill out the infrequent areas by using a small brush. Moreover, to achieve a natural-looking finish, blend the lipstick you are using a spoolie brush.

Employing the right technique, a smoky eye can be created using lipstick. To create a smoky eye effect, select red matte lipstick in the shade of plum or burgundy. Apply the lipstick shade to your eyelids and blend it upwards towards where your crease is. To produce the smoky effect, employ a fluffy brush to blend the lipstick outwards. Finish the look with fake lashes or mascara. Now, look at yourself in the mirror with awe. I know, you already look like a different person and can’t believe it.
7. Using Lipstick to define your Lips

You can use a lip liner to avoid a messy mistake like a lipstick bleed. Thereafter, fill out your lips using the bullet of your lipstick or a brush. To give your lips more detail, use a lighter shade of lipstick in the middle of your lips and blend it outwards to give detail.

When it comes to completing your full face of makeup with lipstick, ensure that you follow these instructions. To hold the lipstick in place and prevent it from moving and smudging you can use a setting powder. This settles your makeup onto your face.
