Feeling like a moan, surely there are only so many ways to apply lippy. No?
Thete’s 1) more or less approximating to your mouth and there’s 2) “did it in the dark with a hangover and late for the train” oh and talking of trains, there’s 3) “doing it while being jostled and bumped while the train/bus/tube is in motion”.
So which one is being advocated here I wonder?
The article is entitled “Perfecting the just-kissed look”.
hmm
May I quote “ simply dab your favourite shade of scarlet on the centre of your lips and buff outwards using a lip brush so that the edges smudge over the lip line creating a diffused effect.”
Really?
Or you could just try methods 2 or 3 above grin ? ?
Mwah, mwah darling!

That wouldn't be a good look on me - more of a just escaped from somewhere effect than just kissed.

I'm not fussed about lipstick makes or types. I've got lots in my drawer and in every handbag, some of them older than my children. But I find Lipfinity far too drying, and always need to use a lip liner.

And I always have a tissue at hand to wipe the cup rims.
