How to Wear Lipstick the French Way Apply It with Your Finger The 'French' trick to applying lipstick is to do it with your finger! Just dab some on your index or middle finger and lightly pat it onto your lips. You can even go above the edges a little bit for a fuller look. This will give your lips a color that looks more natural. Never Go Without It I think it's very French to just about always have some lip color on. Personally, I really hate how my lips just blend into my skin when I'm not wearing lipstick. For this reason, I always have a tube in my purse. |
JUST A TOUCH OF COLOR CAN DO SO MUCH!
