Do you struggle with wearing coloured lipstick? This is something I've always had a problem with! I thought my lips were not full enough to wear any colour. But i have found a solution to create a big bold lip that looks more natural than ever and I'm going to share it with you!
Firstly I'm going to show you with a lip colour of deep red to show you this technique can be worked with drastic colours!
1) First choose your colour lip liner that matches your lipstick (unless you want to create a fading lip).
- Now instead of creating your outer line with lip liner on the rim of your lips you need to draw it on the outside of your lips.
- So you're actually drawing the line on your skin but touching the rim of your lips.
- This just adds that extra line to make your lips look way more plump!
Below is what you lips should look like once you've gone around the whole lip with your lip liner.
2) Then with your lip brush (I'm using the EMITE MAKE UP BRUSH L312) you will need to blend in your lip line so this makes it look more natural and not as harsh.
- Blending it in will also help you get away with this extra bit being your normal fuller lip!
3) Lastly with the same lip brush, you will need to get some of your chosen lipstick colour and paint in your whole lip.
- do go right to the edges to smooth it all in together and again to help the line look like your natural lip.
Once you have finished, your lip should look like this, So much fuller! Now you can go out with a more confident bold smile as well!
Here are the products I used in this tutorial if any of you loved them just like I do!
Lipstick - CHANEL, Lotus rouge.
Lip liner - MAC make up, Burgundy.
(This is a great liner if you want a deep red lip).
If any of you feel the red I used is not your tone here's some other red tones that are my favourites as well!
1) MAC make up - Dubonnet.
This is a great deep red that goes perfectly with the burgundy lip liner I used in the tutorial!
2) NARS make up - Flamenco.
A lovely rather light red. Would suit pale skin amazing!
3) MAC make up - Deep in love.
This is a really deep red that would look great on dark haired ladies!
Don't be fooled everyone! This technique can be used with a natural everyday lip as well! Just go by the same rules but use a natural colour!
Products used for a natural look.
1) Lipstick - CHANEL, Soleil nature.
2) Lip liner - MAC make up, Boldly bare lipliner.
Again heres some other natural lipstick i would highly recommend.
1) MAC make up - Angel.
Really good natural lipstick if you want quite a pinky tone on your lips.
2) MAC make up - Hue.
This is a bit of a softer pinky tone than Angel, but will also create the same effect.
3) MAC make up - Viva glam.
Such a good natural lipstick if you're going out. Colours the lip with a natural tone but leaves a very nice glisten.
