You Will Need
- A lip pencil
- A lipstick
- A lip conditioner/lip primer
- A concealer
Before You BeginFor the perfect lip makeup, you need to first analyze your lip shape. Once you know the shape of your lips, it becomes easier to make them look balanced. Effective makeup tips and tricks can easily help you make your lips appear even, beautiful, and perfect.
Step 1
Start by applying a lip balm/lip conditioner to hydrate your lips. Let it settle for three to four minutes.
If you have dry and flaky lips, using a lip scrub prior to the application of lip balm is highly recommended. A lip scrub eliminates deep flakes, dryness, and chapped bits of skin from the lips, making the application of lipstick much easier. It also gives a smooth and seamless finish to the lips.
Now, start the lip makeup by using a lip pencil of your choice. Make sure the pencil is sharp enough to add precision to the lips.
Step 2
Start lining your lips starting from the Cupid’s bow and continue till the corners, following the natural lip shape.
You can also overdraw or under draw your lips shape; depending on how balanced you want your lips to look.
The model here has a slightly thinner upper lip as compared to the lower lip. So, I have overdrawn her lip shape. Avoid going way above the natural lip line as it may not appear natural.
Step 3
Tilt your head sideways to line the corners of the lips, and to see the corners clearly.
Now, repeat the same steps on the lower lip, starting from the center of the lip and continuing till the corner.
While outlining the lip, you can simultaneously fill your lips with the pencil. This works as a strong base for your lip color and makes your lipstick last longer.
Step 4
Now, apply the lipstick with a thin lip brush on the entire lip. Make sure you fill in the lip shape evenly.
Step 5
Once you are done with the application of the lipstick, correct any flaws, crooked outlines, or unfinished looks by using a small flat brush and some concealer/foundation in the shade closest to your skin tone. Correct the outer edges of your lips by balancing them.
And, you are done!
