What a lip brush is

A small, flat, tapered brush for a precise lip line and even colour.

The techniques

Draw
A single controlled line, built from short strokes where the hand needs it.
Fill
Colour inside an outline so the shape reads as solid.
Ombré / gradient
Deepest colour at the centre of the lips, fading toward the edges — or the reverse.

What it is used with

Bullet lipstick

Also works with a lip palette and a beni.
