Eyebrow pencil

You’ll need a fine-tipped eyebrow pencil instead of a lip liner.

Outlining cupid's bow

1. Outline the cupid’s bow

Take the fine-tip eyebrow pencil and start by tightening the outline of your lips.


Begin by slightly overlining the cupid's bow. This should be just above your natural lip line.

Connecting lip lines

2. Connect the lip lines

Connect the overlined cupid's bow to your natural lip lines at the sides. Repeat the process for the bottom lip.

Shading

3. Shade and soften the outlines

Shade along the borders that you've created with the eyebrow pencil to soften any harsh lines.

Applying liquid lipstick

4. Apply lipstick

Take your nude lipstick or preferred lip shade and apply it only to the center of your lips, leaving the outlined areas untouched.


Use your finger to rub it in.

Drawing line

5. Draw a line

To add volume, draw a line right in the center of both your top and bottom lips using the eyebrow pencil.

Applying lip gloss

6. Apply lip gloss

Use a lip gloss and apply it over the center lines you just drew, focusing on the central parts of your lips to create a highlighted effect.


Avoid applying gloss to the outlined areas.
