Yes, you heard it right. You can do it with lip contouring. Now, you must be wondering what lip contouring is and how to do it. Read on to know all about it.

What Is Lip Contouring?

Lip contouring means enhancing the natural shape of your lips to make them appear bigger, fuller, and poutier. In this method, you have to use a concealer, lip liner, lipstick, lip gloss and highlighter.

Method

Follow this guide to contour your lips.

Exfoliate

Exfoliating is just a way to aid smoother makeup application and that applies to our lips as well. Therefore, before trying the lip contour method, you should always exfoliate your lips. This will help you to get rid of any dead skin, thus leaving you with smooth lips that will allow you to apply your makeup without any hassle.

To exfoliate your lips, you can either put some petroleum jelly on a brush and scrub it lightly on your lips or use some sugar and a damp cloth to make a DIY sugar scrub.

Foundation

To get a smooth base, you should cover your lips with a thin layer of foundation.

Lip Liner

Outline your lips using a lip liner. Choose a shade that is close to your lipstick or a couple of shades darker. Using this lip liner, make an ‘X’ at the top of your cupid’s bow,then draw a vertical line at the centre of your lower lip. Now, fill your lips with the lip liner which will add depth to your lips and also, make your lipstick last longer.

Lipstick

Choose any lipstick of your choice and apply it over your lip liner. Pick the colour closest to your lip liner, then apply another coat with a lighter shade. Then blend it with your fingers.

Gloss

To make your lips look juicy, apply lip gloss or a lip balm over your lipstick. Apply a thicker coat to make your lips shinier.
