Adam: "I lined Melu2019s lips with a dark lip pencil - this helps prevent colour bleeding out of your lipline. I then coloured her lip in with the same pencil as this trick ensure the lipstick lasts longer. Next I took the Burberry Lip Cover in Mocha and applied it over her lips with a brush. Another top tip is to apply lipstick in layers, allowing each layer to dry in between as it keeps the colour stronger for longer.
