Confession: we spend a lot of time watching our resident MUAs in action in hopes of picking up tricks for the perfect pout, mile-long lashes, and a clear complexion. The other day we saw our MUA carefully apply a bold fuchsia shade with a lip brush, and we have to admit that we were seriously impressed by the incredibly precise lines and staying power. The secret? Applying lipstick with a brush and not straight out of the tube.

Do you apply lipstick with a brush or straight out of the tube?
