If you want to look more kissable, skillfully applied lip liner can do the trick. Balancing shape and fullness is key to the effect you want. You’ll want to look straight into a mirror (not at an angle), with your mouth closed, in order to see the true shape of your lips.
1. Start with the bow of your lips, by drawing a “bird in flight” pattern. Make sure that this line is smooth and even before going to the next step.
2. Start lining the center of the lower lip, making adjustments for fullness by lining on the inside, outside or directly on the lip line.
3. Extend the “bird in flight” to the corners of the lips meeting the lower lip line at the inner corner. Beware of the square lip look.
4. Extend the lower lip line to meet at the inner corner of the upper lip. As you line, make sure to have both lines meet to form a corner and not a square.
5. Use a firm lip brush to blend the inner portion of the liner for a blended look before adding lip color.
Avoid using dark lip liner with a much lighter color inside. This look distracts and takes attention away from an otherwise attractive make-up application.
Even if you’re already doing fine in the kissability department, lip liner is worth the extra time it takes to apply!
