use pencil first as a base. Outline and color in your lips with pencil
(nude, if your lipstick shade is light) and slick your lipstick on
top.

Your lips will also look softer,
"smudgier," and less defined if you don't use pencils or lipliners.
- To avoid lipstick on your teeth,
after application, run your index finger through the middle of your
lips and pull it back out. The excess will come off on your finger,
not your teeth.

with a pencil a few shades darker than your lipstick (for instance,
brown pencil under dark red lipstick) and layer the lipstick on top.
Or coat the lipstick with a darker lip gloss, which will turn down the
heat.
