Lipliners are among the most underrated beauty products around.
This keeps your makeup looking flawless by preventing smudging or migration.
This makes it an easy alternative to anti-aging filler treatments that redefine the lips.
Unfortunately, most people only pay attention to the technique and lipliner they use.
Moisturized lips make it easier to apply lipliner.
Once you’ve picked out your lipliner and lipstick, you’re ready to start lining.
you might either spread out your lips to line them or draw the outline using small back-and-forth strokes.
Back-and-forth strokes are generally better because they create stronger waxy barriers, which will be more helpful when blending.
Be sure to leave your mouth in a relaxed, rather than stretched, position without pursing your lips.
Start by exaggerating your cupid’s bow ever so slightly.
If your hands are unsteady, rest your pinky against your chin as you draw.
Next, trace your top lip’s outline from the corner to the cupid’s bow on both sides.
This method relies on the exaggerated cupid’s bow for a full look.
If you have problems tracing smooth lines, use a sharpened pencil in relaxed motions.
Start by tracing out your precise outline if your bottom lip is full enough.
However, if you’re going for a fuller look, you’re free to overlap slightly again.
This step is essential to improve your contour and stop your lipstick from smudging as you blend.
With this done, you might apply your lipstick with just a few swipes.
You’ll notice how much easier it is, thanks to the lipliner.
If you have any lipliner outside of your outline, use a cotton bud to lift it.
Blend it with a small and precise makeup brush to avoid the lipstick.
To give your lips an even fuller look, add a slick of shiny lip gloss over your lipstick.
This will give your pout a glossy, plumped effect.
