How to make your lips fuller with makeup?

Powders, correctors, pencils and lipsticks have the gift of subtly transforming what nature has given us. Like for example the shape of our mouth, which we would often like to be fuller. Good gestures and products to make the lips fuller with makeup.

To prepare your lips before applying makeup, you should start by exfoliating them to remove any dead skin cells. This can be done by gently scrubbing them with a lip scrub or by using a toothbrush to gently brush away any flakes.

Next, apply a moisturizing lip balm to hydrate the lips and create a smooth base for makeup. Allow the lip balm to absorb into the lips for a few minutes before moving on to the next step.

Finally, apply a lip primer. This will help to keep your lip makeup in place for longer and prevent it from feathering or bleeding outside of the lip line.

It’s also important to make sure your lips are clean and dry before applying any makeup, as this will help the products adhere better and create a more polished final look.

Some of us are afraid or simply do not want to go through the aesthetic medicine box to have a full mouth. Plan B? Makeup.

Prepare your lips before applying makeup

Preparing your lips before applying makeup is an important step in achieving a flawless and long-lasting look. There are several reasons why preparing your lips is important:

Exfoliation: Exfoliating your lips removes dead skin cells and creates a smooth surface for makeup to adhere to. This will help the makeup to look more even and natural, and will also prevent the buildup of dry, flaky skin that can make your lips look dry and uneven.

Moisturization: Applying a moisturizing lip balm before makeup will hydrate your lips and create a smooth base for makeup. Dry lips can make your lipstick or lip gloss look patchy and uneven, so it’s important to make sure your lips are well-moisturized before applying makeup.

Priming: A lip primer will help to create a barrier between your skin and the lip color, preventing the color from bleeding or feathering. This will help your lip makeup to stay in place for longer and look more polished.

Cleanliness: Having clean and dry lips before applying makeup will help the products adhere better, ensuring a more polished final look.

Overlining, the secret of make-up artists for plump lips

Overlining is a technique used by makeup artists to create the illusion of full lips. This is done by using a lip liner or lipstick that is slightly darker or more vibrant than your natural lip color and applying it slightly outside of your natural lip line.

The key to overlining is to make sure the line is blended seamlessly with your natural lip color, so it looks natural and subtle. This can be done by using a lip brush to blend the liner or lipstick with your natural lip color, or by using a lip balm or gloss to soften the line.

Overlining is often used in combination with other techniques such as contouring or highlighting to create the illusion of a fuller lip. For example, a makeup artist may use a darker shade of liner or lipstick to overline the outer edges of the lips and a lighter shade in the center of the lips to create a plumping effect.

Some makeup artists also use pigments and special effects to create more dramatic overlining effects, such as using glitter or metallic shades to create the illusion of a larger, more voluminous lip.

It’s important to note that overlining should be done with care, as overlining too much can create an unnatural or exaggerated look. It’s always best to start with a small amount and gradually build up to the desired effect. Also, it’s good to keep in mind that everyone’s lips shape and size are different, so overlining might not work for everyone, and it’s always good to experiment to find what works best for you.
