LIP LINER APPLICATION

Well hello to my first blog (tips/tutorial).Your lips are essential part of your face and if u make blunders with it your whole makeup will be ruined… most of the time our housewives don’t get time to have a proper makeup in their routine life .. So what they do? They just grab a lipstick shikh!! Shikh!! And done…most probably some of them apply it nicely and it stands out good. But some of them not... today's tip and tutorial is for part of applying lipstick, which is how to apply lip liner. In 1990s one of the blunders (considered by today's beauty professionals) happened and that was applying only lip liner or applying darker shade of lip liner than lipstick. Remember, Lip liner is meant to define your lips and lip colour not act as a lip colour. We used to see young girls wearing only lip liner without lipstick and usually of brown or maroon shades. eeeyuuu !!! And unfortunately it continuous today also. I decided to write this blog because I saw a girl last night at hospital with same blunderL. Trust me it is a bad idea to pair dark brown lip liner paired with nude lipstick.

First, mistakes we make while applying lip liner:

  1. DARKER LIP LINER/WITHOUT LIPSTICK

Never apply a darker lip pencil. If u don’t have perfect match, go with lighter shade 1 or 2 shades lighter and even if it is not suitable leave it apply your lipstick with brush for perfect finish. But don’t go for darker shade. (if u do this then imagine yourself as a girl who is wearing long JHUMKEY , dark eye shade of single colour, bangles and of course dark lip liner and walking at sea view Karachi :P for me at least the perception would be this however you would not be wearing any of those jhumkhas and all but only THE dark lip liner, I would surely take you like that)

2.SLOW DOWN


Don’t try to make fake lips to create big and fuller lips initially, first try to learn how to outline natural shape of your lips. Making it look bigger, smaller, fuller etc. should be a concern after wards. Otherwise imagine how your lips would look like.bigger from one side and smaller from another. OHH common I don’t even want to think about it man


3.SAY NO TO SHARP TIP:

 Don’t sharp your lip liner to a very fine tip it will create a harsh lines which will not be smudged perfectly with lipstick... use softer tip...


Now how to apply it:

Step 1 :Take lip liner going with your lipstick as mentioned above .
Step 2with soft pencil tip apply it  on the lines of your lips. if you feel it harsh soften it with lip brush or if u don’t have that brush , no worries have a Q tip( cotton bud) and smudge it lightly .
Step 3:If you want to make your lip colour to stay longer than fill your lips with lip liner before lipstick.
Step 4:Apply your lipstick.
