Get in shape. The secret to plump, pillowy lips: Outline and highlight around the mouth before applying color. The contrast in shades creates visible fullness.
Blot lips with a tissue before applying any lip color to remove excess product that may still be lingering on lips. A clean canvas locks lipstick in place longer.
Step 1
Dot a light, shimmery eyeshadow on your Cupid’s bow. Then, trace the edges of both lips with the brush-on highlighter, but skip the spot where you just applied the shadow. Blend with fingertips so no line is visible.
Step 2
For added definition and to help color last, fill lips in with liner. Apply lipstick.
Step 3
Top with a sweep of gloss just at the center of the mouth for extra plushness.
