Your lip shade and how you apply it can either pull the whole look together or break it apart. While choosing the right lipstick is essential it is also important to know that no two women have the same lip shape, so the technique and shades used also differ from one lip to the other. Having a few makeup tricks up your sleeves can totally transform your look. Play around with the tips below and put your best pout forward!
Thin lips
Amy Schumer, Jennifer Aniston and Emma Watson all have thin lips yet look so stunning! While applying lip liner, stay very close to the outline of your natural lip and smudge it a bit before applying lipstick. Shimmery and bold shades look great on those with thin lips. You can create the illusion of fuller lips by using a darker shade on the bottom lip and a slightly lighter shade on the top.
Bottom heavy lips
If your upper lip is slightly smaller than the lower one, your lip shape falls under this category. Line your lips as you normally do and fill in with the colour of your choice. Almost every shade works for this lip shape. As a finishing touch dab some nude or matte eye shadow on the centre of your upper lip to add some oomph.
Full lips
Women with full lips have the sexiest pout – Angelina Jolie and Kylie Jenner. Choose a subtle look for daily wear and try lining inside your natural lip line. You can totally rock any lip shade and matte textures look amazing on this lip shape.
Top heavy lips
Put extra emphasis on the lower lip while lining it with a lip liner. To add a little oomph to your bottom lip, use a lighter shade on this part and a slightly darker shade on the upper lip. Dab some nude or white eye shadow at the centre of your lower lip to add fullness.
