How to paint lips?

A fun way to express your style and finish off your appearance is by painting your lips. Learning the art of lip color can help you greatly whether you’re applying it for a special occasion or just want to add a pop of color to your regular look. To achieve a smooth, durable finish, technique is just as important as selecting the appropriate shade.

First things first, it’s important to prepare your lips. To begin, gently exfoliate the skin to get rid of any dead skin cells. This will help to create a smooth canvas. Apply a moisturizing lip balm afterward to keep your lips hydrated and stop your lipstick from settling into fine lines.

Your best friend when it comes to applying color can be a lip liner. It keeps your lipstick from feathering and defines the shape of your lips. After you’ve lined your lips, use your preferred lipstick or lip gloss to fill them in. Using a lip brush, evenly apply the color to your lips by blending it in.

Consider using a translucent powder to set your lip color if you want it to stay on your lips all day. Using a tissue to blot and applying a second coat of lipstick can also help to prolong the vibrancy of the color. You’ll be confident enough to show off perfectly manicured lips after reading these tips!

Popular lip makeup products

To help you choose the best lip makeup product for you, we will tell you about the eight most popular ones.

This is essentially a slightly pigmented lip balm that moisturizes. When applied to lips, it looks incredibly natural. A great wintertime product that works quickly to "reanimate" parched lips.

Gives lips a stunning shine and noticeable volume right away. It usually has a gel texture and is not long-lasting; you will need to remove it during the day. A range of colors, from clear to unusual hues like black. Lip gloss can be applied to the dry, clean skin of the lips or over pencil or lipstick-based makeup.

Provides a natural-looking effect, frequently hydrates lips, and doesn’t need lip liner support. An excellent option for regular makeup.

Denser coverage because it has more pigment than semi-transparent lipstick. It’s up to you whether or not to use a lip liner to enhance your makeup.

This texture offers a gorgeous satin finish along with a fairly dense coverage. Apply a lip liner and lipstick together.

Provides thick coverage without being shiny. Select items that contain nourishing and moisturizing ingredients like jojoba oil and vitamin E. These cosmetics give your lips a lovely matte finish without drying them out.

The most pigment-rich and long-lasting lip product. Alcohol is frequently used in the tint’s formula, which is why the product dries on the lips; as a result, you’ll definitely need to moisturize and exfoliate your skin frequently. Use an applicator or brush to apply.

Use it to draw the lips’ natural contours. When sharpening a contour pencil, don’t go overboard; the pencil should glide over skin without causing any scratches. Pick a pencil shade that, if at all possible, matches the lipstick’s hue. Moreover, avoid using overly dark lip liners as they seem unnatural.

Using a pencil, draw the outline of your lips, then coat them with lipstick in the same shade. Apply a tiny bit of transparent gloss to your lips to give them more visual volume and to enhance your makeup. Spread it over the lower lip’s center.

How to properly paint your lips with lipstick: step-by-step instructions

Option for plump lips

Apply balm to your lips and let it fully absorb to create smooth, soft skin. Use a fresh paper napkin to dab away any excess, rather than a cotton pad, as this will cause the lipstick to lie unevenly and leave behind fluff on the lips.

Apply concealer to the area surrounding the lips. Concealer will help make your lips appear more precise if they have a fuzzy outline, which is common with plump lips.

Outline the shape with a pencil, beginning with the upper lip. In order to soften the shape of the lips rather than give them more plumpness, we have slightly rounded the corners of the "Cupid’s bow."

Give yourself a smile to plump up your lips and make it easier to apply lipstick to all the creases. This is especially valid for lips that are full. Painting over the corners of your lips is also simpler when they are stretched into a smile.

Apply lipstick to your lips. Keep in mind that while moisturizing lipsticks add volume to lips, dark matte lipsticks visually reduce them.

Option for thin lips

Avoid dark lipsticks if you’re new to makeup application as they tend to accentuate thin lips. If you’re an expert already, though, you already know that you can increase the size of your lips without sacrificing dark hues. You must paint your lips in order to achieve this, going beyond their natural shape. This must be done very carefully, staying outside the lips’ natural boundaries by no more than two millimeters.

Make sure to apply a moisturizing balm first and allow it to fully absorb before wearing matte lipstick, which isn’t the greatest option for thin lips.

Using a pencil, draw the "tick" above the upper lip, placing the contour a millimeter or two higher than the natural one to make the upper lip appear plumper. Pencil and lipstick shades ought to be the same.

Beginning in the center and working your way out to the corners, paint the lower lip. The same rule that applies to plump lips also applies here: you must grin slightly when applying lip paint. Draw the lower contour a millimeter or two below the original. What matters most is that the makeup appears natural.

Technique for coloring your lips with a pencil

There are similarities between a contour pencil and a base coat or primer for makeup. Although using these products is not required, the outcome looks better and lasts longer as a result. What should you keep in mind when using a lip pencil?

• If your lips are thin or blurry

Using a pencil that is one tone darker than your natural lip color, draw attention to the contour of your lips. This will make your lips stand out and become more voluminous right away. A drop of highlighter should be applied to the space above your upper lip.

• If the lipstick has a shiny finish and a moisturizing formula

These lipsticks typically wear down faster than matte ones. Professional makeup artists advise using a natural pink lip liner to stop the product from spreading. Before applying lipstick, use it to outline the contour, fill in the inside with concealer, and dust on some transparent powder.

• If you don’t want to reapply lipstick during the day

Shade the entire lip area with a pencil before applying lipstick to: (1) prevent the color from fading after a few hours; and (2) prevent the lip makeup from fading to just the outline. This method will increase the longevity of the makeup and help "hold" the lipstick in place.

Think of a lip liner as a more concentrated version of a matte lipstick. If you intend to use a pencil for lip makeup, go for a gentle texture that is simpler to shade.

Features of applying lip gloss

Applying gloss is the simplest way to make your lips shine. Use caution when applying the product, staying within the contour even if the shade is not very bright. If not, your makeup will appear sloppy overall and your lips will appear greasy.

How to apply lip gloss?

• Only in the center of the lips

Don’t cut corners on the gloss if you want your lips to appear fuller. Use a bit less lipstick if you’re wearing a matte shade.

• Paired with a lip liner

Using a pencil a shade darker than your natural lip color, outline your lips’ contours and add gloss. There will be no artificial makeup.

• Paired with lipstick

Apply gloss to your lips’ whole surface to create the illusion of shine, and then balance the look with a highly pigmented lipstick.
