How to Apply Lip Liner. This magical stick helps define your luscious lips, and keeps
your luscious lipstick from straying beyond your lip line. You will need A lip liner A
sharpener for the liner Lipstick And some tissues Some lip balm (optional) and some
lip gloss (optional). Step 1. Choose a lip liner that is the same tone, or lighter, than
your lipstick. A darker liner will draw too much attention to the contrast. Step 2. Sharpen
the lip liner pencil before using it to remove any dirt or bacteria that has built up since
its last use. If you want a little extra moisture on your lips, apply a little balm, then blot
with a tissue. Step 3. Draw a thin line along your upper lip line, angling the pencil for
a soft application. Do this with delicate strokes, starting from the outer corners of
your lips and moving to the center. Step 4. Repeat this on the bottom lip line. If you
want to go for a vintage '30s look, tuck your upper lip under your teeth so you can see
the V-shape in the center. Line this bow and the middle of the bottom to lip for balance.
Draw light lines to the outer corners on the top and bottom. Step 5. Lightly shade in the
rest of your lips with the pencil. Step 6. Apply your lipstick, blot with a tissue, and—if
you want—dab on a little gloss for a finishing touch. Did you know Lip marks are like fingerprints—no
two are alike.
