Lip Liner Mistakes That'll Ruin Your Look
Holly Riordan1 min read
Lip liner is still in style. You can use it to make your lips look larger, or to simply define them. Of course, you need to apply it the right way. Follow these tips from Health and you'll always look fabulous:
1. Choosing the Wrong Hue
Try to find a lip liner that's the same shade as your lip stick. Unless, of course, you want to create the illusion of bigger lips. In that case, "choose a liner that is one shade darker than your lipstick."
2. Lining Lips before Lipstick
https://media.giphy.com/media/BnbU4iJcirkUo/giphy.gif You should actually apply your lipstick first, and then put on your lip liner, so it's easier for you to change or define your lip line.
3. Working Too Fast
Don't outline your entire mouth without picking up your pencil. Use small strokes instead.
4. Not Blending Enough
You don't want to see a harsh line, which is why you should make sure to blend the color with a q-tip.
5. Skipping Shine
To make your lips look even better, try applying a highlighter on your cupid's bow.
