Lip Liner Dos and Don’ts


If you want to make your lips look fuller and more luscious, a good lip liner can definitely help. Of course if you’re going to give lip liner a try in your make up games, you should know how to use it correctly.

Skip It for Full Lips – If you want to create full lips, lip liner is what you need. If you happen to already have full lips, you don’t need lip liner, and you can skip it in lieu of a great gloss.

Stay inside the Lines – It can be tempting to head outside the lines to make lips look larger, but they only really look larger if you cross your eyes a little when you look in the mirror. Otherwise, it looks like you traced a clown’s mouth on your lips. Stay in the lines!

Use a Natural Color – When you’re putting on lip liner, you want it to be as natural looking as possible. Your goal is to have full, luscious lips – not purple or brown ones. You’re young, so stick with youthful colors like peach and pink to give your mouth that kissable appearance.

Fill in with Gloss, Not LipstickIf you paint on the outside of your lips, you shouldn’t paint the inside, too. Use a gentle liner outside and then apply gloss to make your mouth shiny and sweet.
