Prep and prime
The first secret in achievinga Hollywood pout lies within your base. Creating a smooth, flake-free surface will help your products glide on more smoothly and last a lot longer.The Barry M Cosmetics Lip Scrub is infused with antioxidant-rich Vitamin E and Olive Oil, to help buff away dead skin and create a protective barrier to prevent dryness and chapping. In addition, Avocado and Jojoba Oils work to replenish vital hydration for a healthy-looking, silky-soft finish. Follow this by applying the Project Lip Matte Plumping Primer, a volume-boosting formula that naturally improves the fullness of lips whilst prepping them for product application.The non-sticky formula tingles upon application as it stimulates the production of collagen in the skin, visibly increasing your pout size and giving lips a more defined shape.
Overline
The next step is essential for those who have a thinner lip shape. Start by drawing a straight line over your cupids bow and connect to the outer corners of your lips. By using this technique instead of overlining your whole border, you lips will look fuller and more natural.Opt for a darker lip liner to create a contour effect such as the much-loved MAC Whirl Lip Pencil or the NYX Professional Makeup Suede Matte Lip Liner in shade Cannes.Once you have outlined your border, begin to fill in the base of your lips slightly so your lipstick will blend in more seamlessly.
Contour
The trick every makeup artist uses on their clients is to contour using a lipstick. It may seem unnecessary but using alipstick one or two shades lighter than your liner will help to create definition, the same way it does when you contour our face. Apply your lipstick directly to the centre of your lips so it blends in with your liner and creates a highlighting effect. If you’re looking for the perfect true nude lip, we recommend the Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipstick Matte Nude in shade Beige Babe. If you want to make a statement, go bold with the Antipodes Lipstick in Forest Berry Red.
