Why Use a Lip Liner
Lipstick adds the final touch to any makeup
application. Lining the lips creates subtle definition and
perfects the shape of the lips
Outlining With Lip Liner:
Before outlining the lips check that your lips are smooth and grease
free. Use a lip liner pencil in a shade close to that of your lipstick
colour and with a steady hand, lightly outline the lips. For the upper
lip, start at the centre and work out, towards the corner of the mouth.
For the lower lip, work from side to side.
Shaping Up Your
Lips:
 Through a knowledge of what you
can do to correct lip shape you can truly achieve a perfect finish to
your face. Study the shape of your lips, identify the defects, if any,
and decide on what you want to achieve and then proceed.
1.Small
Mouth With Small Lips:
These are easily corrected by taking the lip liner pencil outside the
natural lip line. Work slowly and steadily to form a perfect shape. Fill
in with primer and finally with the lipstick. A highlight of frosting on
the upper lip would also create an impression of fullness.
2.Large Mouth With Full Lips:
Apply liquid foundation makeup to the entire mouth, then outline with a
dark shade of lipstick just inside the natural contours of the mouth.
Then apply lipstick of a lighter shade carefully and accurately within
this outline. Subdued shades work well for this kind of mouth. Use
medium toned lip colours and avoid dark browns, plums, electric brights
or pale shimmer shades.
3.Full Upper Lip:
Apply fluid foundation makeup to the upper lip. Outline just inside its
natural contour and apply a dark shade of lipstick.
Outline the lower lip just outside its natural contour and emphasize by
filling in with a lighter shade of lipstick.
4.Full Lower Lip:
Outline upper lip just outside its natural contour. Apply a light shade
of lipstick and in the center add a touch of lip gloss. Apply fluid
foundation makeup to the lower lip. Outline just inside its natural
contour. Then fill in with a darker shade of lipstick, using a lip
brush.
5.Wide Mouth:
Cover the corners of the mouth with foundation makeup or a cover stick.
Apply lipstick with a lip brush, stopping a few millimeters before the
corners of the mouth are reached.
