Any advice on how to prep your lips?
I always recommend putting on a lip balm before you start your makeup. Try applying the COVERGIRL Outlast All-Day Lip Top Coat, $3 then continue with eyes and foundation. By the time you're ready to complete the look with lipstick, your lips will be silky smooth.

Do you use lipliner, setting powder, highlighter, or any other products?
I always use a lip liner to create the lip shape and to prevent bleeding. Setting around the lips is very important to lock in the makeup for longer wear. You can use a highlighter above the cupids bow for a little glow on the upper lip.

Any tips on finding the right lipstick finish?
If your lips are dry find a lipstick that is more emollient and hydrating. I feel like you can never go wrong with a matte red lip. It looks classic and timeless on all skin tones. Just make sure to moisturize your lips first. Cover Girl Melting Pout Matte Liquid Lipstick in Red Wedding, $7, target.com
Any tips for your cupids bow? Shapes?
