With 92% of women wearing lipstick, its no wonder that you have so much choice in color and formulation. If you have thiner lips, you might want it to appear fuller. Here's how to create an illusion of fuller lips.

  • Lip Gloss
  • Lip brush
  • Concealer
  1. Step 1

    Using a lip liner, trace outside your upper lip line, following its natural shape and ensuring that the edge of the lip liner is still touching your natural lip line. This is very important, because if the liner does not touch your natural lip line you should be left with a give way gap if your lipstick fades. Check that you like the shape that you have archived and then follow the same principle for the bottom lip. If you make a mistake, remove the line with cleaner with the cotton bud and then reapply concealer to the exposed area before starting again.

  2. Step 2

    Fill in the new lip area with the pencil, using very light pressure, so that the outline still look darker than the inside.
