I love how just a simple wash of color on your lips can transform your entire look. Of course, it\u2019s important to master the art of applying lip products to give you your best lips possible. And today, I\u2019m going to be showing you just that in a step by step tutorial!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>1. Prepare your canvas.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Make sure to exfoliate your lips well before applying any lip product for the best application. Next you\u2019ll want to matte out the color of your lips so your lipstick color pops even more. You can do this with either left over foundation on your makeup brush or a lip primer.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lingeriepedia.com\/images\/joliana\/210.jpg\" alt=\"How to Contour Your Lips\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>2. Outline your lips with a lip liner that matches your lip color.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This allows you to get the sharpest edge as well as prevent the color from bleeding. You\u2019ll want to fade the liner towards the center of your lips.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lingeriepedia.com\/images\/joliana\/36.jpg\" alt=\"How to Contour Your Lips\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>3.&nbsp;Add a darker shade of lip liner to the outer corners of the lips.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This is going to add some dimension to your lip color and draw all the light to the center of your lips, giving you a larger pout. Here, I simply used a black eyeliner.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lingeriepedia.com\/images\/joliana\/47.jpg\" alt=\"How to Contour Your Lips\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>4. Apply your lipstick.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The next step of course is to apply your lipstick. You\u2019re going to want to blend the liner into the lipstick a bit, for a seamless application. Just be sure to avoid bringing the darker colors to the inside of the lips.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lingeriepedia.com\/images\/joliana\/56.jpg\" alt=\"How to Contour Your Lips\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>5.&nbsp;Play with shadows.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To add some more dimension to the lips, we\u2019re going to play with light. First, take a powder a few shades darker than your skin tone (this could be a matte eye shadow) and shade it beneath your pout. This is going to emphasize the size of your bottom lip. Add the same shading to the space between your cupid\u2019s bow to make that appear larger as well.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lingeriepedia.com\/images\/joliana\/68.jpg\" alt=\"How to Contour Your Lips\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>6. Highlight.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For even more definition, take a shimmery highlight color and lightly place it on the highest points of your cupid\u2019s bow to make it more pronounced.<\/strong> <strong><script><\/p>\n<p><\/script><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lingeriepedia.com\/images\/joliana\/74.jpg\" alt=\"How to Contour Your Lips\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>7.

Clean up the edges.<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When you\u2019re finished, clean up the edges of your lips with some concealer and your lips should look something like this. These tips work well with every color. Remember that dark shades add a shadow and light colors make things more pronounced.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"336\" src=\"https:\/\/www.egeve.com\/up\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/conlipsl.jpg\" alt=\"How to Contour Your Lips\" class=\"wp-image-2192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.egeve.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/conlipsl.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.egeve.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/conlipsl-300x174.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>With these few tips, you can take your lips from bland to glam in just a few minutes!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of my absolute favorite makeup items has to be lip products.
