Okay Girl, First find a chapstick with SPF in it...There are plenty out there or SoftLips which is a minty flavored type of chapstick...Then Apply your lipstick. When picking your lipstick color. Look in the mirror and pull your bottom lip down so you expose your gums. Look at the color that is on the backside on your lip. That is the color you'll want to match with a lipstick for natural looking lips. If you put the chapstick on before the lipstick, it helps nourish your lips so your lips won't crack while wearing lipstick. Hope this helps!
