If you’re looking to get fuller lips, line your cupid’s bow with a darker shade then blend with a lighter coloured lipstick for the best effect. 

If you want to create the illusion of a fuller pout but don’t have the time to blend everything in fully, here’s a tip we love: use a nude lip liner. 

Draw a soft line just around your lips for a natural light look. 

A lip liner that is too sharp can create a very harsh and more difficult to blend in with. Plus, if you push your pencil down too hard, more product can sometimes come out and if your pencil is brittle, some of it can flake off under the pressure. 

This way, when your lipstick fades throughout the day, you won’t be left with an unsightly ring around your lips. 

While applying lip liner, be sure to move your chin up and down so you know exactly where you need to apply lip liner and if you’ve made a mess.
