Our favourite celebs and makeup artists have shown us time and again what good contouring does to your face. However, contouring is not limited to enhancing your cheekbones and making your face look defined. If no one ever told you about lip contouring and its benefits we’re about to do just that. Read on to find out everything you need to know about lip contouring.
It is the trick to enhance the size and fullness of your lips and make them look more defined and pout worthy. If getting plump lips is your New Year resolution you’re going to love acing this new skill.
What you need?
Lip balm
Lip liner
Nude lipstick
Highlighter
How to do it?
Start by exfoliating your lips gently to remove dry skin and apply a layer of your favourite non-greasy lip balm
Draw an X using the lip liner at the cupids bow and outline the lips. Don’t go too further than your natural lip line.
Fill in using a nude lipstick and blend the lip liner and lipstick so that no visible lines can be seen.
Take a little bit of highlighter on a lip brush and dab it at the centre of your lips. Blend it out to give the illusion of fuller lips.
