A lip liner is an essential tool in any makeup bag. Not only does it help to define the lips and make lipstick last longer, but it can also prevent feathering and smudging. However, applying lip liner can be tricky, and if done incorrectly, can ruin your entire makeup look. Here are some tips to help you apply lip liner like a pro:
- Choose the Right Shade: The shade of your lip liner should match your lipstick or be slightly darker. Avoid using a lighter shade, as this can make your lips look uneven.
- Exfoliate Your Lips: Before applying lip liner, make sure to exfoliate your lips to remove any dead skin. This will create a smooth base for the liner and lipstick.
- Use a Sharp Pencil: Always use a sharp pencil for precision. You can also warm up the tip of the pencil on the back of your hand before applying it to make it glide on more smoothly.
- Start at the Center: Begin by outlining the cupid’s bow in the centre of your lips, then draw a line down to the corners. Repeat on the lower lip, starting at the centre and moving outward.
- Blend the Edges: To avoid a harsh line, use a lip brush or your finger to blend the edges of the liner.
- Fill in Your Lips: To make your lipstick last longer, fill in your lips with the lip liner before applying lipstick. This will also give your lipstick a more even finish.
By following these tips, you can achieve a perfectly defined pout with lip liner. Experiment with different shades and techniques to find the best look for you.
