This magical stick helps define your luscious lips, and keeps your luscious lipstick from straying beyond your lip line.
You Will Need
- A lip liner
- A sharpener for the liner
- Lipstick
- And some tissues
- Some lip balm (optional)
- And some lip gloss (optional)
Step 1: Choose lip liner
Choose a lip liner that is the same tone, or lighter, than your lipstick. A darker liner will draw too much attention to the contrast.
Step 2: Sharpen pencil
Sharpen the lip liner pencil before using it to remove any dirt or bacteria that has built up since its last use.
If you want a little extra moisture on your lips, apply a little balm, then blot with a tissue.
Step 3: Draw upper lip
Draw a thin line along your upper lip line, angling the pencil for a soft application. Do this with delicate strokes, starting from the outer corners of your lips and moving to the center.
Step 4: Repeat on bottom lip
Repeat this on the bottom lip line.
If you want to go for a vintage ’30s look, tuck your upper lip under your teeth so you can see the V-shape in the center. Line this bow and the middle of the bottom to lip for balance. Draw light lines to the outer corners on the top and bottom.
Step 5: Shade in lips
Lightly shade in the rest of your lips with the pencil.
Step 6: Apply lipstick
Apply your lipstick, blot with a tissue, and—if you want—dab on a little gloss for a finishing touch.
Lip marks are like fingerprints—no two are alike.

What if your top lip is darker than your bottom lip so that your lips are two different colors?

Your lips can't be different colors.
