What you need

Choose an oil-free wax lip balm. This way, the lips are free from sebum.

Wipe off the lip balm. Before using lipstick or lip liner, check to see if the lip balm is still on your lips. If the residue still remains, wipe it off with a tissue or cotton ball. The remaining lip balm will make the lips quite slippery and prevent the lip liner from sticking to the lips.

Consider using a lip foundation. This helps to bring out the natural color of the lipstick, but is also not essential. Use a tone that matches your entire face, and use makeup foam to spread the foundation. While doing this you should smile to spread the cream evenly over the crack.

Lip liner. Using lip liner can change the shape of your lips. You can make the lips look bigger or smaller, round or wider. Start by drawing the outline of the lips, then painting evenly. Here are some tips and tutorials:

To make the lips look smaller, you should line it right inside the lip line. Apply concealer around lips to hide natural lip contour.
To make the lips look larger, draw just outside the lip contour but still touch the natural lip contour.
To widen your lips, use a pencil along the natural lip contour, but then stretch out the corners of your lips. To narrow your lips, you do the same thing but draw right on the inside of the lips. Apply concealer to natural lip lines.
To make the upper or lower lips look full, use a pencil just outside the lip contour. Follow inside the lip contour towards the rest of the lips.
To make lips look more natural and soft, use your fingers to draw lip lines on the corners of the lips. This will help soften the rough corners of the lips.

Part 2 of 3: Brushing lipstick

Put on the lipstick. Start at the center of the lips and spread evenly outwards and evenly paint the crumbs. You can apply lipstick directly from the tube, or use a lipstick brush for precision.
Apply a layer of lipstick. The first layer serves as the background; This second layer helps the lipstick to color clearly and lasts longer.
Wipe the inside of the lips. Bring your finger to your mouth, close your lips, and then remove your finger. This will help prevent the lipstick from sticking to your teeth.
Keeps the lipstick on for a long time by applying powder. Tear the tissue into two pieces. Press a piece on your lips and gently cover with some colorless powder. Remove the tissue and apply a layer of lipstick.
Clean the corners of the lips with concealer. Dab a brush lightly on concealer whose color is the same as the resulting color, then apply to the outside of the lips. Blend the cream evenly into the foundation layer.This way not only helps the contour of the lips look beautiful and sharp, but also prevents the lipstick from getting dirty.
Consider using a highlighting pen that highlights the center of the upper lip. This helps to bring out the natural look of the lips. Just use a white or ivory pencil on the center of the upper lip. Do not paint on the lipstick, but paint on top.
Add a shine effect with lip gloss. This step is not strictly necessary, but it can help to enhance the shiny sparkle effect. In addition, the lips will also become more plump. You don't need to apply lip gloss all over your lips, just brush lightly on the center of your lower lip. advertisement

Part 3 of 3: Try out classic lipstick colors

Use two lipstick tones to make your lips more plump. Apply regular lipstick on the lips, but add a lighter shade of lipstick between the upper and lower lips and blend evenly. Alternatively, you can replace it with a cream-shaped highlighting pen.
Use a similar color chalk to make your lipstick look more matte. Choose a matte powder that has the same tone as lipstick. After applying lipstick and lip liner, use your fingers to dab the chalk and press against the lips. Continue until the powder completely covers the lips and the lipstick becomes dull.
- Do not use bright blush.
- This does not apply to all lipstick colors; This step depends only on the available cheek powder.
- If you can't find the right shade of blush, you can replace it with matte eyeshadow that is similar in color.
Brush lipstick color. Choose a lip liner that is darker than the lip color. Line the edges of the lips, then apply lipstick evenly on the lips. To create a strong splash effect, you can apply a lighter color lipstick on the inside of your lips. Use a transparent lip gloss to spread the lipstick evenly.
- To create an inverted spill effect, use a lighter lip liner than the lip color, and paint over the lip lines. The lipstick is evenly applied to the lips; To make it stand out even more, apply a darker layer of lipstick to the inside of the lips.
Create lips of pink buds. This feminine fashion style prevailed during the period for liberal girls. Styles suitable for party or at night when you want to try new style. Line the middle of the lips, but stop near the corner of the lips. Paint bright red lipstick on the lips. Complete your style with curling hairstyles in the 30s.
According to the 80s fads. Choose dark colors like black, dark red, or dark brown. Look for lip liner that matches the lip color and lip line. Fill lips with pencil and then apply lipstick. Complete your style with a 80s outfit and a bun. advertisement

If your lips are dry a lot, choose a liquid lip balm like "Vaseline- Rosy Lips" as this moisturizes lips and gives you a bright color.

Use a white pencil or bright eyeshadow to highlight the center of your upper lip and spread evenly. This will make the lips look fuller.
