I wasn't blessed with big lips so for several years I've been overdrawing my lip line when I apply my lipstick. Now I have to overdraw my lips pretty much whenever I leave the house, even if I don't have any other makeup on, I feel incomplete without them!
"Duh, it's totally obvious. Your lips went from Cameron Diaz to Jay-Z"
Just to clarify I'm not going for the natural look, but this technique can still be used on your natural lip line to create a fuller pout or to just slightly go over the lip line.
So as you can see my bottom lip is a lot larger than my top, this is scar tissue from when I had snakebites and they rejected.
I use a lip liner that's a similar colour to my lips and I overdraw to the desired size, this sometimes takes a few attempts to get them looking right but practise makes perfect!
If you're trying this for the first time start by slightly going over the line of your natural lips and then build up to a size that you're happy with.
I'm happy with the size of my bottom lip so I just even out the edges with my lip liner and cover up my scars as much as I can.
The next step is using a brown, darker lip liner to shade over the natural lip line and to create dimension. I then blend it out with the first lip pencil.
I'll either leave my lips at this point or I'll add a lip gloss or a nude lipstick depending on my mood!
So that is how I overdraw my lips!
Please ignore my deviated septum and my general awkwardness ❤️
