Lips: Defining and Adding Color
Many people put lip liner and lipstick on last. I recommend putting them on after foundation and contouring, because I have found that lipstick often "sets the tone" for color on your face. That is, if you are wearing a brighter/darker lipstick, you'll often want to put your eye shadow and blush on a little darker. If you're wearing a more muted/lighter lipstick, you'll often want to put your eye shadow and blush on a little lighter. (Remember, everything needs to be harmonious and in balance.)
Lip liner goes on first. Lip liner helps define the lips, and helps lipstick to last longer. To apply lip liner, put a dot at the corners of your lips, at the two "peaks" of the upper lip, and the center of the lower lip. Connect the dots, following your lips' natural contours. Then fill in the rest of your lips, using the side (not the point) of the lip liner.
Once lip liner is applied, put on your lipstick as usual.
