Pucker up, baby! The talented makeup artists of La Pomponnee are dishing their most sought after lipstick tricks. It’s perfect timing too, as AVEDA recently reformulated their entire lipstick collection. The new lipstick is 95% naturally derived and formulated with fruit butters and plant oil. These products will give your lips the TLC they deserve, in addition to adding a pretty boost to your makeup look. Use them in combination with the following tips from our MUAs and we guarantee you’ll have the most kissable pout ever.
Pre-Routine
Before you even think of applying products to your lips, you gotta make sure they’re in great shape. That means getting rid of dead skin cells by exfoliating! La Pomponnee makeup artist Paige recommends a simple sugar scrub or AVEDA’s beautifying composition oil, along with a clean mascara wand applicator. Lightly go over the flakey spots for supple, soft lips ready for color!
Lipstick Routine
1.) Treat
Just like with building a house, you need to start with a good foundation. Take your lips back to basics with AVEDA’s feed my lips pure nourish-mint lip treatment. It enrichens, softens, and smooths thanks to its certified organic fruit butters and botanical oils. La Pomponnee makeup artist Lauren suggests this step for lipstick that applies more evenly and lasts longer!
2.) Prime
Prep your lips for all day coverage with AVEDA’s feed my lips pure nourish-mint lip primer. Made with organic peppermint, vanilla, and ginger, this primer smooths dry, fine lines with a layer of botanical waxes. Adding it to your lipstick routine provides a base for your lipstick and helps it stay put!

3.) Line
Define and shape your lips with AVEDA’s feed my lips pure nourish-mint lip liner. Available in eight shades, this product is made with mango oil and botanical waxes for easy, gliding application. Designed to maximize color, prevent bleeding and feathering, AND complement your hair color, this is NOT the lip liner of the 1990s! (We’re so glad that trend is over!)

4.) Apply
Now comes everyone’s favorite part – the color! AVEDA’s feed my lips pure nourish-mint lipstick comes in 23 shades, all in a satin finish.
Its fruit butters and oils smooth lips while giving dimension and depth to the color. Because our stylists want to make you look good from head to toe, the lipstick display is organized into categories based on hair color. Stylist Jessica says this makes it really easy to recommend the perfect shade for her clients. Deep mauve “Kimi Fig” for a warm blonde, berry pink “Prickly Pear” for cool brunettes and those with black hair, or fresh pink “Watermelon” for redheads – with so many tones for each hair color, it’s easy to find one (or two!) that work for you! Our makeup artist Blair loves the neutral tones because they are versatile and look good on just about anyone. Here’s “Honey Ginger” on both a dark blond and a brunette.
Post-Routine
For a little extra hydration, our makeup artist Louise suggests swiping on AVEDA’s nourish-mint renewing lip treatment before bed each night. We love this idea so much that we even included it as one of the 5 Steps to Add to Your Beauty Routine in 2018!
For fierce looking lips that last all day, give this routine a try! Then, post a selfie to Instagram and use #getdolledup so we can see that picture-perfect pout!
