- First, I like to moisturize them,
put some chapstick just to get them nice and moist.
I know people hate that word, but.

Sorry, I make myself laugh.
Hi, I'm Camila Mendez
and today I'm gonna take you to beauty school.
(gentle music)
So today I'm gonna show you
how I like to do my lips most days.
I'm very into nude lips recently
and I always like to overline a little bit
because I don't have the biggest, fullest lips.
So I kind of like to cheat it a tiny bit.
So I'm gonna do my best to talk and explain this
while I do my lips.
First I like to moisturize them, put some chapstick
just to get them nice and moist.
I know people hate that word, but.
(giggling)
Sorry, I make myself laugh.
I like to line with moisturized lips,
just because I think then
the line doesn't look so matte and dry
and don't get me wrong,
I love a matte nude as well,
but usually for my day to day
I like to do something that looks a little bit more natural.
So I always start by over lining a little bit
right here in the center
to fill in the bow and the little dip
like that.
Some people like to maintain like the, you know,
the dip in your bow,
but I kind of like to fill it in,
because I just think it makes my lips look fuller
and then I subtly bring it around.
But I try not to go too thick on the outer edges,
because then I just think it elongates the lips
and I just wanna make them rounder and fuller
and not really stretched out.
I wouldn't say there's one person
that taught me makeup.
I think I've learned over many years of working
in the industry with many different makeup artists
and they've always taught me their tricks.
So I've just picked up things
along the way.
I started doing my lips like this
season five of Riverdale,
whenever we did the time jump.
Yeah, that was season five.
Because we were coming up with a new look
for Veronica in her twenties
and we were inspired by the sort of like nineties, you know,
power woman, Wall Street woman.
So I wanted to do a very nineties nude lip
and that's when I started doing my lips like this.
Okay so I line it there and then underneath I do two things.
I contour it a little bit
and I do it just the tiniest amount on the bottom
and then I blend it in just to add a little bit more shading
and just like accentuating the natural shadow of my lip.
And then I go over it with the pencil
and I try to be really light with it,
because I really don't want it to look obvious.
Like it's obvious, but it,
I don't want it to be that obvious.
And then I fill it in.
I like to fill in my lips with the liner.
I know some people don't like doing that
but I do, because I feel like
then if the lipstick, you know,
starts to rub off throughout the day,
at least you have the liner underneath
kind of creating a foundation
and it also just deepens the color.
And then my final step
is using the Armani Lip Power.
My favorite shade is shade 109.
You know what's great about this lipstick
is that it has like that teardrop shape.
So you can actually follow your lip line perfectly.
What do we think?
That's it.
That is my favorite lip look.

Thanks for watching my beauty school lesson.
I hope you learned something.
I am off to Venice Film Festival
with my Armani beauty family.
So I'll see you next time.
