Contouring Lips to create a fulness look.

There are ways to create a full looking lip without getting injections. I believe there is nothing wrong with injections but sometimes it is nice embracing our beauty with simple enhancements without all the extra costs.

There are so many ways to contour a lip for different effects but today start with this one. It’s fun to practice with different lip colors.

Step 1

I do my exfoliating when I wash my face at night. It is easier to remember and one less thing I have to do in the morning. It’s important to moisturize your lips at night and first thing in the morning. Drinking plenty of water throughout the day is another key for moisturizing the lips.

Steps 2 & 3

Highlight your lips with any lip pencil that is lighter than your lipstick. Follow diagram for steps 2 & 3.

Step 4

Pretty easy step: just outline the lip. One mistake most women make is they outline underneath the lip line - practice outlining on top of the lip line.

Step 5

Close your lips and make a “Y” in the middle of your lip - follow diagram. Make sideways “V” at the corners of your lips and fill in with the lip pencil.

Step 6

Take a lip brush (you can use an eyeshadow brush) and blend in - DO NOT fully blend away the lighter color. Sometimes I take a lighter lipstick with some shimmer and apply to the middle part to make it pop.

Have fun creating the look you want. The first time you do this it takes time but the more you do it - you will whip out a beautiful contoured lip easily!
