One of the most often overlooked, and underestimated products that should be in every girl's make-up bag is lip liner. The key to making it work is to understand first how to use lip liner properly, and what it can do for you. Applying lip liner can prevent color from bleeding onto your face or feathering. If you match your lipstick it holds the natural contours of your lips, if you use a contrasting shade, you can create some fun effects like the ones listed below. We found these tips from the professionals at CoverGirl.com
| To Make Lips Look Fuller Pick a lipstick and lip liner in matching shades—choose lighter colors, since darker tones can make lips appear smaller. Use your lip pencil to define lips. Go to the outermost edge of lips but no further—do not go outside the natural lip line. Then fill in entire area with lip liner. This will "hold" lipstick longer. Apply your lipstick over lip liner. To Make Lips Look Wider Instead of plumping up thin lips, try accentuating your mouth's wonderful width! Use a liner that perfectly matches your lipstick and line the extreme edges of lips, extending out to corners. Fill in with lipstick color, then top with gloss on middle of lips only. To Make Lips Look Thinner Trace inside the natural lip line, and fill in with your lipstick. Picking a matte shade will also make lips appear smaller. To Add Natural Definition Give your lips a strong line using a neutral colored pencil, then fill in with a sheer gloss blended gently to the edges by a few strokes of the lip brush. The result is naturally shimmery and moist-looking lips. |
