Most Indian women have heavy upper lips. Effective makeup tips and tricks can easily make heavy lips appear even and beautiful.
Makeup for heavy lips is simple:
Start by drawing your lips from the center of your lips outwards, following your natural lip shape.
Then apply a light lipstick to the bottom of your lips and a slightly darker shade of the lighter lipstick to the top to create the illusion of a smaller area and give the lips a smaller appearance.
You can also apply the same lip color to the upper and lower lip, then add a dab of white pencil or white lipstick to the center of the lower lip to create balance, evenness and a fuller look.
Take your favorite lip gloss and apply it to the bottom lip only after applying your lip products. Then blot with a tissue to remove some shine and smooth the texture to match the upper lip.
Another trick you can use to make thick lips appear smaller is to use lipstick to fill in the lips just within the natural line and then top off the application with lipstick.
The easiest trick to make fuller and heavier lips appear smaller is to use a dark lip color as it reduces the prominence of fuller lips
Lower plump lips are actually pretty and attractive! But some women try to hide that pout!
Here’s how to make thicker lips look better:
The easiest trick to balance out heavy bottom lips is to use the same lip color on both the top and bottom lips and then apply a dab of white lipstick or white lipstick only to the center of the top lip to achieve balance and evenness and fuller appearance.
A popular way to soften the lower pout is to use a lip liner after applying lipstick to slightly overline the upper lip line. This immediately makes the lips more even and blends them naturally!
If the shape and size of your upper and lower lips don’t match, you have uneven lips.
Here are a few tips to tackle uneven lips:
First, prep your lips with a moisturizing lip balm or primer so makeup can apply smoothly and evenly.
Then apply a thin layer of concealer around the lip creases to create a clean canvas. This allows you to create even lines on the top and bottom when applying lip liner!
People with uneven lips should use a lip liner to line the outline of your upper lip. Make sure both sides of the upper lip match first, then follow the same pattern for the lower lips.
Then smudge the lip liner with a very light hand to remove rough and hard edges and achieve a natural finish.
Be careful with this trick! The lip liner must be applied with a very light hand and blended well, otherwise it could look unflattering.
Flat lips have no dimension or depth and appear very flat without a distinctive contour. For people with flat lips, it is best to use light and softer lip colors as dark lip colors make lips appear smaller.
This trick can be used to give flat lips a nice shape:
Start by contouring your lips slightly outside the natural lip line.
Shimmer and frosty lip formulas work well for thinner and flatter lips as they provide a fuller and plumper effect.
Ombre lip effects also work well for thinner and flat lips.
Start by filling the outer corners of your lips with a dark lip color and fill the center of the lips with a soft or light lip color to create a beautiful ombre lip effect.
If you’re not ready to wear ombre lips, you can apply the same lipstick color to all of your lips and then add a shimmery highlighter to highlight the center of your top and bottom lips for a plumper lip appearance.
Thin lips require more dimension and space.
And we have just the trick for you to make your lips look absolutely stunning:
Start by applying the lip liner slightly outside your natural lip line, then gently smudge it with your ring finger to distribute the color.
Then apply a darker lip color to the bottom lip and a softer lip color to the top lip and blend with a clean lip brush.
Oversized lips have the power to dominate the entire face. Therefore, always choose softer lip colors with a rich, matte consistency so that your lips appear soft and even.
How to distract attention from lips that are too big:
Use a nude, natural lip liner around and in your lips to create the illusion of a smaller lip.
Try matte nude lipstick. This absorbs any light and makes the lips appear softer.
For facial makeup, it is best to apply heavy smokey eye makeup or a highlighted cheek area to distract attention from the oversized lip size.
Small lips look cute on some people, but most people want to have a nice pout.
Follow these tips to highlight small lips:
You can apply shimmery, frosty and glossy lipstick formulas that add fullness to the little lips. (Note: Use your ring finger to apply highlighter to your Cupid’s bow (the area that is in the shape of a “V” above the lips) before applying your lip color. This creates a fuller look.)
Do not apply very dark lip colors as they will make the lips appear smaller.
Choose lighter and softer lip colors to best highlight your lips.
Lips come in all shapes and sizes and therefore require different lip makeup techniques to look their best. For example, if you have fuller upper lips, you may benefit from darker shades or a combination of dark and light shades. Likewise, people with flat lips can use glossy lipsticks to add volume to their lips. The makeup tips for different lip shapes presented in this article can help you keep your lips looking balanced and shapely, allowing you to nail your beauty and makeup game no matter what shape or size your lip is has.
