Lip Makeup Application
Step 1 Outlining With Lip Liner
The pencil liner is usually harder than lipstick and is used to line lips. Lip liners are a boon for defining the shape, if your lips are not perfect in shape. Ensure that your lips are smooth and non-greasy before outlining. The liner pencil should be of the same color or the shade closer to the lipstick. Lining inside the natural contour make the lips appear thinner and fuller while lining out of the natural lip line makes them look thick. Outlining the lips also prevents bleeding the lipstick.
