A lipstick is the fastest way a woman can amp up her beauty quotient. In fact, they say that nothing can brighten your face faster than lipstick. Who doesn’t like luscious lips that add the right bit of oomph and glamor? Well, for all you ladies with thin lips, here is a solution to glide on your lipstick perfectly. Take a look:
Examine your lip shape before you start applying the lipstick. Check if your bottom lip is thinner than your upper lip, or vice versa.
Once you have analyzed your lip shape, prepare your lips with a lip conditioner or a lip primer. This provides a smooth and even base, and facilitates effortless application.
Start by using a lip pencil as it gives you perfect control and enhances the lip shape. Ensure that you have sharpened your lip pencil.
Start the application by lining the cupid’s bow. Gently draw a line across the peak of the lip and contour the lip till the corners.
In this tutorial, I am overdrawing the lip of the model, staying close to her natural lip line.
Create soft lines instead of crisp lines so that your lips look naturally full.
After you are done with the upper lip, start with the lower lip.
Starting from the corners, gradually draw the line till the center of the lips. Use short strokes to draw the line.
Since I have overdrawn the upper lip slightly, I am going to retain the lower lip shape to maintain the balance.
Now, fill the entire lip with the same lip pencil.
Filling the lips with a lip liner makes your lipstick last longer.
The best way to apply lipstick is by using a lip brush as it facilitates precise application. Fill the lips using short strokes with the brush, and blend the lipstick evenly everywhere.
The last step is to dab a concealer on the corners and edges of the lips with a brush. This technique adds definition to your lips and makes them look neat.
