The purpose of each type of makeup is to highlight our strengths, minimizing imperfections, and trying to best harmonize facial features. This also means, for example, understanding what your lip shape is and how to best enhance it with makeup, if necessary redefining its contours and correcting any asymmetries and defects, or at least those we consider such. In fact, those who have a fleshy mouth often would like thinner lips, while those who have a small mouth would like to give them more volume. In any case, make-up can be our great ally: let’s see how to make the most of it based on the shape of the lips.
How to change the shape of the lips
The first step is always to have the right products; in this case, we will need lip pencils of the same tone as our mouth or at most a slightly darker shade and cosmetics with a matte finish and natural colors. To redesign the lip contour it is necessary to have a little dexterity and experience, especially if the lips are a little irregular or asymmetrical. The advice is to practice until the desired result is achieved: it will be worth it! Then stand in front of the mirror with your mouth closed, carefully examine the shape of the lips and start drawing until you have obtained a natural, precise, and satisfying result. Continue with along-lasting lipstick and possibly with a concealer to help you further define the contour of the lips. Also, in this case, pay attention to the color: the concealer must not be too different from the tone of your skin in order not to create sharp detachments.
