“I lined up all my powder makeup and compared colours,” says Yolisa. “The best match was a chocolate brown shade that matched my skin.”

Using a finger, Yolisa dabbed the shadow on her lips before dusting a little pink blusher on top to warm up the shade. “At this stage, it feels dry and cakey, but don’t give up,” she says.

Apply a hydrating lip balm on top. “This gives it a shimmery coat and feels super comfortable. Plus, it lasts as long as a regular lipstick,” she adds.
