"Hi are you looking for a great way to make your larger lips appear small well today you have come to the right place. My name is Sylvia Russell and I'm going to show you how to make your larger lips appear small. Now the first thing you want to do is make sure that you have good lip liner and a good lipstick and a good lip gloss. Both of these colors should be very similar in shade making sure that it is not too bright, too flamboyant because you want to make your larger lips appear small. So the first thing you want to do is find the color that is very close to your natural shade like you can see here with Carrie, the color is actually blending in very well. It just enhances her look a little bit, also I'm not making it very dark, I'm making it very soft. I'm also staying away from the actual lip line and I'm going to apply my color just underneath because I don't want them to be any larger, I want to make them look smaller so we are making the lines very soft and I'm also going to go ahead and use that same shade and fill in the lips. Now you don't want to use a lot of lip gloss when making your lips look smaller because lip gloss enhances the shade that you have on. We simply want to just add color to enhance the lip without making it look larger so as you can see I'm simply filling in the color and I'm not going to apply too much lip gloss. Now once you've done that go ahead and get your shade of lip color that is very similar in color and apply just a little bit of gloss. We don't want a whole lot of gloss because again we don't want to bring a whole lot of attention to the lips, you want to keep it simple and nice and clean. And there you have it, we've enhanced her lips without making them look full and voluptuous. My name is Sylvia Russell and this is how you can make your larger lips appear small."
