So girlies, and guys if you like....
I've had a few requests to show you how i create that overdrawn big lip affect so i thought it was about time i did one! Now since the gorgeous kylie jenner has burst onto the scene with her new look the world has crazed non stop over her luscious lips!
Just a little disclaimer i am not a makeup artist have had no professional training and these are literally just the tips and steps that i use!
The first this i do is pick my fave colour lipstick now if you plan to overdraw your lips to get the full lip effect then i would suggest you choose a matte lipstick. This is because where the ridges on your lip sit if you add anything glossy or shimmery then the light will pick up on that straight away and it will be beyond obvious what you've done! But if thats the look your going for then why not! But personally i like it too look a little more natural and i love a matte lip anyway.
So begin with going over your lips with a lip balm of your choice, just anything to stop the dryness when you've added all the product. using a beauty blender dab foundation onto the edges of your lips to create a little less of a harsh line .
Then you want to create the 'outline' using a similar coloured lip liner you want to trace the line of your original lip but taking it a bit higher at the cupids bow and slightly lower at the bottom lip centre. This is what will create the wider lip look.
TOP TIP: if you don't own a lip liner in your chosen colour to match then simply take a lipstick brush and use that to apply the lipstick when drawing your outline as if it were the pencil!
Then take the colour in to the middle of the mouth using two diagonal lines on the top lip and three vertical lines on the bottom lip.This creates a more shadowed plumped up look.
once you've then filled the lips in then i like to line my lips with a concealer this sharpens up the outer lines of the lips and makes the colour pop!
