LIP CONTOUR: The New Make up Trend

Towards the end of 2015 and the beginning of 2016, lip contouring has become the habit of trend setters. Lip contour or Kylie Jenner lip is all about faking big and voluptuous lips in making them look as natural as possible. Today, professional make-up artists contour the lips of their client. There are a few products you can use in achieving this look with these few steps.

STEP 1

Using a lip liner similar to the natural lip colour,  mark points on the cupid bow downwards, the inner brackets of your lips and the mid section of your lower lip.
After making the points, line the entire lips as you would normally.

STEP 2

Mix in lip balm and lip gloss on your upper and lower lips. There are make-up products that serve as lip plumper but peppermint oil can be used.

STEP 3
Contour the lip. Using a concealer a shade lighter, dab on the mid-section and blend outward as done when creating the ombre look. Highlight the top of the cupid bow with concealer.
Always add lip gloss irrespective of the shade or colour used for the lip. The gloss illuminates the lips making them look bigger.

These 3 simple steps may not give you the perfect Kylie Jenner lip but it will be an improvement and enhance your natural lip beauty.
Remember, do NOT over line your lips to prevent being classified as a clown. Practice makes perfect.
