How to Shape your Lips Perfectly with Makeup

Many women often overlook lips when it comes to their overall makeup routine, focusing solely on the eyes and cheeks. Lip liner, gloss, and lipstick however shouldn’t be skipped. The shape and color of lips has a significant amount of influence on your overall appearance – the look you’re projecting to the world.

Lips that are more vibrantly colored project youth and vitality whereas lips that are dull and chapped looking can project fatigue, aging, and even sickness. That’s why it’s important to make sure that you have a go-to lip makeup routine. If you go the every morning makeup application and reapplication route, you’ll need to use a shade of lip liner that matches your own lips closely as well as a lip gloss or lipstick in a beautiful shade every day. To avoid the hassle of applying lip makeup everyday and to look vibrant every day permanently, just choose the permanent lip color route.

Always remember that the shape of your lips is important too. The proper lip shape and size can really balance and a face and make it appear much more beautiful. Many women are born without a symmetrical pout and without large plump looking lips. Lining your lips will improve your lip shape. Using permanent cosmetics to get the perfectly shaped lips permanently is a great option. Permanent cosmetics are also the perfect solution for enlarging lips that have lost fullness due to aging.

Get the Blair Waldorf Lip Look

Every week we all love to hate Gossip Girl fashionista Leighton Meester. But love her or hate her, we all adore checking out her posh wardrobe and glam make-up. Lately she’s been right on trend wearing a semi-matte, deep-hued lipstick. As our girl Blair demonstrates, in order to pull off a so-bold-it-could-stop-traffic kind of color, it’s best to keep the rest of your makeup toned down so you don’t overwhelm the look.

Is a sassy lipstick look something you might want to duplicate? If so, follow these tips on how to keep such a hot color looking very cool:

  • Apply lip liner in a shade similar to your lipstick. Outline, following the natural shape of your lips, and then fill in completely. By using liner as a base, your color will wear longer and bolder. It helps prevent color from bleeding, too.
  • Using a lip brush, apply lipstick. Start in the center, working out as you go. Fix any harsh lines or mistakes with a Q-tip.

Or you could make it a whole lot easier and be sure your lips always look Gossip Girl good with lip liner and fill-in color added to your lips with permanent make-up. No fumbling for lip gloss and a mirror. No awkward re-application in public. No bleeding color or smears. Your lips always look luscious. The lip liner can even be tattooed on the outer edge of your lips for a fuller poutier look. XOXO.
