Lipstick Rule No. 7: Consider a Lip Brush
Lipstick Rule No. 7: Consider a Lip Brush If you're wearing a bright color, Blair recommends using a lip brush to refine the edge of your lips -- almost like a liner. But if you're nervous about too-bold pigment, try using a lip brush to fill in the rest of your lips, as well. (Try M.A.C. Retractable Lip Brush, $24).

"Using a lip brush for application sheers out the lipstick," says King, "which can be great if you want a sheer lip." In other words, if you feel more comfortable layering your color gradually, a lip brush can be a great tool. However, if you want a full, intense lip, "It is better to apply straight from the tube."
