Lip liner is a cosmetic that is most often used to optically enlarge the lips. Moreover, it makes applying lipsticks much easier. Makeup artists often show how they use this type of products on their social media profiles.
A makeup trick for lip enlargement that is worth knowing
Some time ago, Kim Kardashian’s makeup artist, Mario Dedivanovic, shared a certain makeup trick. The man showed how we can easily optically enlarge our lips using a lip liner. The two products we need are brown contour and a bit lighter lipstick. What do we do next? As the makeup artist advises:
- At the very beginning, we mainly focus on the cupid’s bow. We outline it gently with a contour pencil.
- In the next step, we outline the center of the lower lip and blend it slightly.
- Finally, apply lipstick to the center of the lips.

TIP! Make-up artists usually advise not to go too far beyond the contour when applying lip liner. Such makeup may look very unnatural. If we want the effect of magnification, let’s go about 0.5 mm beyond their natural border.
