No, not really. In fact it's just a simple technique that most beauties out there has already heard of. Lip lining the lips accentuates and reshapes, fills and redoes, has the ability to recede and contour. So maybe it is magic after all, no? I have very thin lips compared to what I like. I need to line my lips if I ever want to wear lipstick otherwise it would look uneven from the front and botox and injecting the lips for me is out of the question. So I use my handy dandy lip liner to fill that sucker in.
So check it out. Bare lips. I'm using a brown lip liner for this technique.. Why? The brown is able to create almost any desired shape because it is so dark. Maybe a brown eyeliner would be better because it has no specks of glitter like a brown lip liner does which looks more natural. But it doesn't really matter in this case, so I'm using brown lip liner.
It looks a tad bit obvious, even "chola-ey" it seems!
I set it then with loose powder which sets it, similar to what you would do with foundation. It assures that the liner will stay put, as long as you don't lick your lips too much I guess. So long as you have that, the lip liner will not budge, hindering the routine of reapplying it again and again. It's somewhat like a second skin.
It does end up looking nasty and crackly so I advise a layer of lip balm or something.
So then now I finally apply my desired lip color. It definitely looks much more even compared to its before.
In these two sets of picture, I wanted to do an example of bow-shaped lips, like Rihanna's.
I extended the liner much more further out, creating a harsh pointed line on the top and created a much more fuller bottom lip.
So there it is. Happy lining. :)
