Dear Smucci.
Here is my version of a lip…it’s more pepto bismal but it is still FIRE you hear me? First I take a pencil in some acid washed bubble gum pink and I line my lips 30times it’s all about DEFINITION and then I fill in with lead…oops I mean pencil and layer with lipstick. Then I do it again.
It’s not right until I have trout pout then im ret to go…. The problem is ..(yes, there is a problem even though its tres gorgeous) is that it never seems to come off. When I wash my face at night I still feel like I have lipstick on. My friend said it looks like pink pancake mix (whose jealous?) but I have to admit it’s heavy.
But beauty costs..um don’t it?
P.S. I forgot to mention that I taught my best friend how to apply her lipstick as well. What do you think?

Dear Pink Pancake Lips,
Wow! Where do I begin? Okay please say this with me B-L-E-N-D you need to BLEND the liner. It is the key to flawless lips. There are a few very wrong things going on here. For starters, you do not need to line your lips 30 times. I’m not too sure why you are doing this, but it is totally not correct. If you are lining your lips to intensify the color or to define the shape of your lips you may want to consider using a lip pencil in one to two shades deeper than your lipgloss. You can also try using a richly pigmented pencil in the same color as your lipgloss. It appears to me that you need some guidance with your Lip Liner application. Below you will find some easy tips to achieve well-blended fabulous lips.
Lip Pencil Application
1. Start by selecting a color that matches the lipstick or one shade deeper than lipgloss.
2. Begin lining the top lip from the middle and extend the line across on both sides.
3. Apply the line across the bottom lip.
4. Fill in the middle of the lip lightly with pencil and blend.
5. Use your clean finger or the edge of a makeup sponge to wipe away anything outside the natural lip line.
6. Now you are ready to apply your favorite lip color. Press lips together to blend color and your done.
