Symbol of sensuality and own personality, the smile shines more when it is highlighted with good makeup. Depending on the shape of your lips, there are several ways to give it light. Proud of your full lips, discreet with thin lips… the shape of your mouth speaks volumes about you. Here we tell you how to enhance what nature has given you.

Shape matters

When thinking about lip makeup it is very important to look at them carefully, what is their shape? Many times they tend to be asymmetrical -the upper one larger than the lower one, or vice versa-. In most cases the upper lip is pinched at its ends, what does this mean? That its corners are hidden and fails to show a good shape. Another detail to take into account is that the little spikes that form the end of the lip must be well centered. If the face is long, these should be rounded and if the face is short or round, the lip corners should be more triangular.

Once you have taken a good look in the mirror, you can just start putting on our makeup.

Drawing the outline

To begin, we must cover the lips with a makeup base or a concealer for dark circles. In this way we eliminate the natural edges and reinvent them. Then with an eyeliner pencil a shade darker than their color, we border the outline on the outside, drawing the desired shape. The objective is to lift the corners of the superior so that it does not look depressed and cause a feeling of sadness. Then, we must blend the eyeliner with a lip brush trying to fill in everything and make the line disappear so that the effect looks natural. If when blending it, it was not possible to fill everything, you can touch the eyeliner directly to the lip. Once the entire surface is covered with the outline, a touch of compact powder can be applied with a latex sponge to fix the drawing and correction process well.

A touch of color

After this process we will put the desired lipstick. For this we are going to use a lip makeup brush. We must consider that the darker the chosen lipstick, the more perfect the lip must be made up. If we are not going to show a perfect smile, it is convenient not to choose flashy colors. On the other hand, if we want to give a more fleshy effect, we can choose a very light color and apply it in the center of the lower lip to give a touch of light. Perhaps with a pearl powder shadow we could also give this type of effect.

To finish, with a beige pencil we touch the contours to give the effect of raised lips and correct any shadows.
