How to Overline Your Lips for a Full and Lifted Look
Learn how to create a lifted look on your whole face, by learning how to overline lips.
You’ll be amazed at the difference this lift lifting technique makes!
Tools and materials:
- Lip liner
1. Start with overlining your lips
With your lip pencil, start by overlining your cupid's bow (the center dip of your upper lip).
2. Line the rest of your top lip
Now from the ends of the cupids bow overline, line the rest of your upper lip inside the edge.
Extend that line with a very tiny wing.
3. Line your bottom lip
Overline the center of your bottom lip as you did with the top lip.
Inline the rest of your bottom lip as you did with the top, but bring that inner line to meet the top lip, just inside of where you stopped the top lip liner.
Don’t make the lower line meet the upper line at the outer corner, because that will actually have the opposite effect to what we are trying to achieve – it will cause your face to look droopy.
