Lip makeup
Experts argue over whether you should apply lipstick or lipliner first, and we've translated this to mean that you should just try it both ways and see what turns out better on you. The makeup masters all agree on this fact though: your lipstick and lipliner should match and blend together. NEVER apply a liner that's darker to your lipstick in an effort to make the liner stand out. That was an awful, awful '90s fad, and everyone was glad to see it pass.

Lipstick. Even girls who don't usually wear makeup have been known to slap on some lipstick from time to time. There's gloss lipstick (which comes in a little pot or tube with a wand), and frost, matte, and cream lipsticks (which come in the famous lipstick stick). Try out all the different kinds of lipsticks to find out the ones you are most comfortable wearing (they are all quite different in texture). If you don't have any money, buy a cherry popsicle and give it a suck before going out the door (if you like that "6-year-old returning from camp" look).
Lipliner. Lipliner goes around the perimeter of your lips and is used to define them and keep lipstick in place. (Lipstick clings to the lipliner and is therefore less likely to rub off or "bleed"). Lipliners typically come in pencil form.
