3.Line It Away
Yes, now we’re talking! Once you have done with the prep routine, you can grab your lip liner. As it depends on the makeup you’re going for, you can choose the most suitable lip liner. If you prefer something natural, we suggest that you opt for a shade that is similar to your natural lip color. We know that some prefer to keep it simple and while others love to overline their lips. Regardless of that, fuller and plumper-looking lips are always the ultimate goal. So, the rule of thumb is to start from the outer corners and make sure to draw slightly above the lip line to add more volume. Plus, this tip will also help to create an illusion of symmetrical lips. Remember to fill out your lips with the lip liner to ensure that the color seamlessly blends with the lippie later on.

Next, grab a lipstick of your choice and a lip brush to apply the product for a flawless finish. Simply apply a small amount of the lipstick to the brush and then apply it to the center bottom of the lips. Make sure to blend it evenly with the lip liner and repeat the same step for your upper lip. Highlight the center of the lips by applying building more intensity in the area.
