Waterproof Lip Liner

Trace the contour of your lips, following their natural shape. Begin with the outline of your top lip. Place the tip of the pencil on the bow of your lip and outline the righthand side. Place the tip on the bow of your lip again and outline the lefthand side. Then trace the contour of the lower lip. Begin at the center and outline the righthand side. Place the tip on the bow at the center again and outline the lefthand side. Tips to visually increase or decrease the volume of your lips:There is a natural white outline around your lips (which is what you follow to trace the contour of your lips without trying to correct their shape). To enlarge your lips, draw just outside of this line. To lessen the volume of your lips, draw just inside this line. Tips to extend the hold of your lipstick:Trace the outline of your lips, then thicken the line toward the interior of the contour (ideally, cover the lips entirely with liner). Then apply lipstick over the liner. Tips for an ombré look:Choose a lip pencil and lipstick in coordinating colors Trace a precise line along the lip contour and blot the interior of the lips with a fingertip to blend. Apply lipstick to the center of the lips. Press your lips together and apply a second coat if desired, to intensify the effect.
