Never choose a darker lipstick than your lip liner, as it will interfere with the overdrawn illusion. Then I layer my lipstick of choice, either in a very similar color to my liner or slightly lighter.
Next, it’s time to add your color! I like to first shade my entire lip with lip liner, which helps your lipstick last longer. Same goes for the bottom lip, I start by creating the lowermost curve then bring it into the corners on each side. As you get closer to the corners, you want move closer inward so that the line ends at the innermost point of the corners. From each lip peak (the top of your X), work your lip liner downward, slightly outside your natural lip line. This will help both the top and bottom lip lines meet in their natural place, and prevent a joker smile effect. Meet Your Natural Lip CornerĪs you start carving out your new lip line, it’s very important to end the line in your natural corners. From the top of the X, I start building a new upper lip line on each side. I make a little “X” mark on my natural cupid’s bow to mark the dip. Starting here will help keep both sides as even as possible. Starting applying the lip liner at the cupid’s bow, which is the dip in the middle of your top lip.

Keep reading to see how to make your lips look bigger with makeup alone! Today, I’m sharing my favorite tips on getting a lusciously overdrawn lip that looks as natural as possible. It’s very easy to overdo it, or have the lining look too obvious.
If you’ve never tried overdrawing your lips, it’s not as easy as just putting pencil to skin. When I line my lips, I like to create a sharper outline while also balancing the proportions. Plus, my top lip is substantially thinner than my bottom lip which is pretty plump naturally. I wouldn’t say I have particularly thin lips, though they’re not very defined. Overdrawing your lips with liner and lipstick can give the illusion of fullness while letting you play around with their shape and definition, as well. Why spend the money for someone to poke a needle in your face when you can make your lips look bigger with makeup? I love the look of full, pouty lips, but I’m way too much of a commitment-phobe to get injections.
