Stage 4: Shape Your Lips

Select a lip liner that matches your skin tone or a shade darker. Christine d’Ornano, the global vice president of Sisley Paris suggests that the lip liner application is important because lip products tend to feather away as the day progresses. Unless you keep reapplying the lipstick, select a lip liner that matches your skin tone as it will not appear awkward once the lip color fades away.

Do not go by the name of the color shades. So a nude-colored lip liner might appear mauve or pink on application. First, apply the shade to check whether it suits your skin tone. Once you have identified the right shade, start outlining the lips with the pencil just outside the lip line. Fill the entire lip with this lip liner.

If you are finding it difficult to identify the exact shape of your lips, just smile a little. Yeah, smiling will make your lips tauter and help you line the lips easily.
