lips that pop!

I met a makeup artist on a photo shoot a few years ago. She went by "White Karen," I kid you not. Not only because she was white, because she was. But because she used a white eyeliner pencil to line the outer edge of the lip and blended it with a makeup sponge before applying the lip color. That was her signature lip. It is amazing how this makes your lip color pop. If you're white that is. If you're not, I don't suggest doing this...

To make this look your own, use a pencil one shade lighter than your skin. Totally blend with a sponge. Apply color!
