Lip liners.
Many think that they are irrelevant to today's woman's use (or even some men *grin*).
I say nonsense. I love lip liners.
Lipliners can give the slight defination of the lip or bring attention to the focus of your lip. Great for those who have a non defined lip shape OR a weak lip shape.
Use lipliner before/after lipstick and before lipgloss.
I love lip lining for the longevity it gives, for the intense look it can provide, the different look it is able to arm the person with and the manipulation of the lipstick colour.
Longevity it gives.....
Using a lipliner that is similar (do not need to be exactly matching) to your lipstick and filling it up will prolong the lip colour consistancy before it gradually fade out.
But be warn that lip liners being more saturated in colour coz of its texture, tend to be abit (if not much) darker than what you see.
TRICK: Line the lip and slightly colour into the lip before using a lipbrush or finger and gently rubbing the colour in.
Intense look it can provide
Instead of using a lipstick, you can use a lipliner to fill up the lip. That will intensify the lip focus through saturating the liner colour throughout the lip. This will provide a nice matte lip colour.
TRICK: Draw your lipline, fill in the colour by moving the liner 45 degrees and colouring in the liner.
Different look it may arm the person
Paled out lips, nude tones, cutey pinks, shocking orange, matte red, sexy glossy lips. all convey a different look or mood for that person. Using different lipliners and layering with different lip products is able to achieve that attained look. ADJUST THE SHAPE of the lip and the whole look changes.
Use one nude lip liner gives a softer look, whereas a intense purple tone gives a more sculpted lip feature on the face.
TRICK: Play with different colour lip liners to bring out a different look/feel. Play with lip shape to get the different looks!
Manipulation of lipstick colour
Alot can be done to diversify your lipstick coloours. Besides having a zillion lipstick or lipgloss. You can vary your lip liners with different lip colours. Putting a brown reddish lipliner and filling the whole lip up before putting on a neutral tone lipstick can create a more 3-D pouty look. the creation is endless.
TRICK: Play with different colour lip liners to bring out a different look/feel (same as Different look it may arm the person)
