How to apply lip liner

Begin the lining process by sharpening your lip liner (if applicable) with a cosmetic sharpener to ensure a precise line.

Line your lips with a light hand and short strokes to maintain a controlled application. Start from the cupid’s bow and work your way down.

If you choose to overline for a plumper lip, line directly above your natural lip line to prevent it looking unnatural.

Once you have finished lining your lips, you may also fill them in if you’d like. This can enhance the colour of your other lip products and help them stay on longer.

Not necessarily. If you want your lipstick to stay true to colour it’s good to use a lip liner that is at least in the same shade family as your lipstick (i.e. a peach lip liner with a coral lipstick).

If you don’t want to splurge on lip liners but still want to use one to help with precision and definition, just purchase a lip liner that matches the natural colour of your lips.

Your ‘perfect red’ depends on your skin tone and undertones. If you have cool undertones, look for blue-based reds. If you’re more on the warmer side, opt for orange-based reds.

Keeping your lips moisturised and lining your lips with a lip liner will prevent lipsticks from feathering or bleeding. Blotting your lips will also help to stop feathering/bleeding.

Make sure you line and fill in your lips with a lip liner that matches the liquid lipstick you choose to use. Apply your liquid lipstick in thin layers and allow to dry before going in for a second layer if you choose.
