For a natural look: Trace the lip line to create enhanced shape and definition. Use lip brush to soften and blend edges. Follow with lipstick, if desired. For a full, pouty look: Outline lips just over your natural lip line then thoroughly pencilin lips. Use lip brush to layer on lipstick. To sharpen: Because of the oilinfused formula, it's important to use a clean pencil sharpener with a sharp blade. Gently twist the pencil through the sharpener to create a defined point. After use, clean sharpener with a cotton swab to remove all excess product so it is ready for the next time. Close cap tightly after each use.
