Fill in lips with your favorite lip pencil.  I love Tarte Double-Ended Lipliners  A double-ended lip liner that contains one soft, neutral shade on one side and a deeper shade on the other. $19  Use your finger to really work the pencil into the lips.  Then apply your lip balm over your penciled-in lips.  Once the balm and pencil mix, you have your very own personalized lip stain! 

 

Keeping your lips luscious, protected and conditioned does not have to cost a fortune.  You can find lip balms that are ideal for everyday use at your local drugstore or at online retailers.
