Kleek apprentice Isabel Rose Till from Joannah Owen Beauty & Wellness in Ormskirk, is working towards her Level 2 Diploma for Beauty Professionals and has produced an amazing step-by-step guide on how to get a perfect lipstick look. This is a fantastic guide which could help other apprentices to master this challenging skill.

STEP 1: EXFOLIATION
> Apply a lip primer or prep cream to the lips using a small brush. > This step is essential for ensuring the lipstick adheres well and lasts longer.
> Start by applying an exfoliation cream to the lips. > Gently massage the cream in small, circular motions using an exfoliation brush. > This process helps remove dead skin and chapped lips, creating a smooth canvas for lipstick application. > After exfoliating, use a clean, damp cloth to remove any excess cream.

STEP 2: PREP & PRIME
STEP 3: LIP LINER
> Choose the correct shade of lip pencil for your clients chosen look. A colour two shades darker than the lipstick will create a defined and fuller lip. A colour one shade darker or the same shade as the lipstick will create a softer look. > Carefully outline the lips, following the natural lip shape. > Lip liner helps define the lips and prevents lipstick from bleeding.
