Lip liners, one of makeup artists' favorite tools

Today, the use of lip liner is associated with '90s looks, where a perfectly defined mouth combined with a light-colored lipstick took center stage, creating a totally excessive fashion trend.

Today, we want to disassociate the relationship between lip liner and excess lip gloss, since this product has a wide variety of uses that we are completely unaware of, and its correct use will help us completely beautify our smile.

Different uses of lip liner

Lip liner is a very versatile product, and below we will explain its main and unknown uses:

• Its main and most well-known use is to outline and define the lips . We must take into account the thickness of our lips to know which application and technique to use:
  • If our lips are thin , we'll line them along the outer lip line, allowing us to gain a few millimeters, creating a visual sensation of thickness and volume. The shade chosen to add volume should be as close as possible to the lipstick shade to create a uniform effect.
  • If our lips are too full , we should outline them along the inner line. This will subtract a few millimeters and refine their appearance. For this technique, it's best to use dark shades and matte finishes, as this will achieve a perfect balance of volume.
• Correcting asymmetries. To achieve perfectly symmetrical lips, it's essential to have a very fine, sharp-tipped lip liner, a steady hand, and incredible patience. Using small, very fine lines, we'll initially outline the part of the lip we'll keep intact, and then we'll mimic the process on the other half. For this step, it's extremely important to use lip liner and lipstick in the same shade, as otherwise, the finish will be very unnatural.
• Give your makeup a long-lasting finish . When you line your lips, you create a protective barrier that will facilitate proper lipstick application and extend its wear, as it will prevent wear. Therefore, with the help of a lip liner, you can transform any lipstick into a long-wearing lipstick.
• Prevent the visibility of wrinkles around the lips . As the years go by, the wrinkles around the lips become more visible. Therefore, if you line your lips with a lip liner in the same shade as your lipstick, you'll prevent lipstick from spreading into the wrinkles and completely rejuvenate the area.

Recommendations for using lip liner

This is a somewhat complicated task for many users, but with patience and calmness, we can make it an ultra-simple and quick step. Here are some tips and tricks to achieve precise, long-lasting eyeliner easily:

• To help it glide smoothly over the skin, first moisturize the skin on your lips with a lip primer. The lip primer should be perfectly clean and dry. This will ensure the skin in the area appears smooth and even, making it easier to apply the product.

- Next, it's time to choose the right shade. If we're going for a dark or intense lipstick , we should choose a lip pencil similar to the color of the lipstick. If, on the other hand, we want a natural finish and the lipstick is light or nude, the lip liner should also be within these shades.

• It is very important to always start the stroke from the center (Cupid's bow) towards the corners, using short and quick strokes.
• If you're looking for a subtle finish, use gentle touches to blur the corners of your lips, softening overly sharp edges.
• Once outlined, we will apply the lipstick directly on them or with the help of a brush.
