How to fake fuller lips

How to fake fuller lips

1. Nude out your lips entirely with a non-drying concealer. That way you have a colorless canvas to work with, so you won't be able to really tell where your lips start and end. Anna used Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer.

2. Line your lips to "enlarge" them. "Trace the perimeter of your mouth with a dusty rose lip liner to make them appear larger than they actually are," Cosenza says. Use Maybelline New York ColorSensational Lip Liner in "Rose."
3. Fill in your lips with a pink lipstick. Using a lip brush for precision, fill in the area you just outlined with a baby pink-colored lipstick. Anna swiped on Lancôme Rouge in Love High Potency Lipcolor in "Rose Emotion."

4. Add gloss. Used here was Maybelline New York Color Elixir gloss in "Nude Illusion" for extra dimension, which makes lips appear larger, and shine.

Make Your Lip Color Last: The Secret to Long-Lasting Lipstick

Make Your Lip Color Last: The Secret to Long-Lasting Lipstick

Feel like your lipstick is always running out on you? Want it to hang out a little longer? Here are 9 steps to lock those lips into place!
1. To ensure your lipstick lasts, you'll want to ensure there are no flakes of dead skin renting out space on your pout. Use a lip scrub like e.l.f. Lip Exfoliator or Bliss Fabulips to exfoliate those little dudes away.

2. Next, apply a hydrating, non-oily lip balm. Anything with a waxy consistency is preferred over a slippery texture that will cause color to slide right off. I love Sephora's Super Nourishing Lip Balm.
3. Pat a little foundation or concealer over lips. Don't entirely erase your mouth, but cancel out your lip's natural pink so that your lip color's true hue comes through. This also gives it a little something extra to adhere to. If you have a dark skin tone, this also helps enhance the lipstick's true color.

4. If you're wearing a bold lip color, outlining the outer edge of your lip line with concealer or the NYX Wonder Pencil will create a barrier to prevent bleeding. It's basically like installing a fence for your lipstick! Outline and tap softly with your finger to blend.
5. Now, take a lip liner and outline the lips, as well as fill them in. The lip pencil is drier than lipstick and serves as a layer of color for the lipstick to grab onto. I am using NYX Slim Lip Pencil in Rose.

6. Begin applying your color selectively, instead of just swiping across the whole lip. This makes for even, controlled application. I am using the Bite Beauty High Pigment Lip Pencil in Quince. I've had particularly good luck with this product's staying power and the pigmentation is just beautiful.
7. Fill in the rest of your lips.

8. Take a tissue and separate it into two halves. Place one sheet on your lips and dust a translucent powder like Make Up For Ever HD Powder over the lips, through the tissue. This is a trick you'll see makeup artists doing backstage at fashion shows. Now you won't worry that it's some model torture treatment. This sets the color, without depositing a layer of powder.
9. Lightly apply a bit more lipstick on top. Now smile. Your lip color is ready to go the distance!



Did you know?

There is no such thing as a lipgloss that lasts all day. If you want a glossy look, you will have to reapply throughout the day. Or place a dab in the center of the lip and not all over.
Matte formulas will last longer but can be drying, so don't skip the prep!
Using lip liner will always make your color last longer. Make sure you fill in the lip entirely!
Use a lip brush for a more precise application.
Here's a Pin-able version of all the steps to help you get the long-lasting lip color you deserve!
