Tips for Using Lip Liner as a Lipstick
Read on to know the tips how to use lip liner as a lipstick:
Pre With Lip Balm
Lip liner is typically drier than a lipstick. So,you need to moisturizeyour lips to keep them hydrated. Chapped or cracked lips can ruin the overall look and you need to avoid it. Choose a moisturizing balm but be careful as you don’t want your lipstick to run off your lips. One light layer of a good lip balm is quite sufficient.
Line your Lips
Start with perfecting the Cupid ’s bow by drawing a small V on the top of your lips. Don’t smudge your lip liner and try to pull off a perfect shape in one go. The lip liner will be easy to control because of the balm that you had applied earlier. Line your lips carefully¸don’t forget to line and fill the corners of your mouth.
Fill in your Lips
Next, start filling your lips like you would with a lipstick. Work from the outside towards inside and take your time.
Perfecting your Pout
Ensure that everything is just as it should be. Correct your errors where you may have gone off course (cars take sharp turns right?). Wipe your mistakes with a tissue and cover it up with some foundation. Use a small foundation brush for accuracy. Apply some powder if necessary.
Add that Glossy Sheen
You can skip this step if you want matte lips but for a clear, glossy finish, apply some of your favorite lip gloss. A bit of Vaseline will also suffice.
Use your lip liners as lipsticks like a pro and rock the night away!
