Everything You Need to Know About Lip Liners to Get Luscious Lips

We all desire to create perfectly lined lips to get that beautiful look. The lip liner was a trend in the 80’s and 90’s which required you to line your lips with a dark color lip liner and then pair it with a lighter shade lipstick. But this notion of makeup made many people cringe at this idea. The trends have now changed. Many renowned makeup artists in the world have put down the reasons why a lip liner is necessary and the perfect way to apply the lip liner for the most attractive looking lips.

The Reasons to Wear a Lip Liner

The lip liner is ideally recommended by makeup artists for the following reasons:

• It helps the lipstick stay longer. Lining the lips with a lip liner and then filling it with a similar shade lipstick provides the lipstick something to adhere to and it can stay on for longer.
• Adds a definition to your lips. Whether you desire to make your lips fuller in appearance or you wish to define the Cupid’s bow of your lips, the application of a lip liner will enhance your lips for the most luscious pout. The lip liner also reduces the appearance of fine lines on the lips to make them look very nice and plump.

To get these benefits after applying a lip liner, you need to know the most correct technique to use the lip liner to get results. If the lip liner is incorrectly used, it only brings out a messy look and no one wants that? Isn’t it?

The following step-by-step method can help you have a trick up your sleeve to apply the lip liner in the correct manner:

Step 1: Preparation of the lips- it is important to exfoliate and moisturize the lips with a nourishing lip balm to get rid of dry flaky lips to achieve a smooth flawless lip color finish.

Step 2: Lining the lips- choose the lip liner you wish to apply, and lightly sketch it from the Cupid’s bow (top center of your lips) drawing a rough border around the lips. Do this very lightly and do not press the lip liner too hard. To complete it simply connect the lines. Always choose a lip liner a tad brighter than the lipstick’s color.

Step 3: This is a very simple step. You just need to carefully apply the lipstick not exceeding obviously the lip liner.

These simple tips and regular practice can make you a pro of applying lipstick that looks flawless. It is also very essential to invest in good lip brush to perfect your lip lining skills.
Lip pencils nowadays also serve a dual purpose. Lip pencils with a thicker softer tip are also used as lipstick. It’s lightly applied on the lips and smudged with a smudging brush to blend it into the lips for an even tone color.

These pro tips are surely going to give you beautiful lips which you will be proud to flaunt.
