    Default my new tip for great lips

    The following may or may not apply to you:

    I had always gotten the rare/occasional compliment on my lips. Lets say maybe once a month. Nothing spectacular.

    I'm pretty obsessed with lips and so I own just about every type of liner, gloss and lipstick available, from high end to drug store brands. My routine when wearing lipstick or colored gloss has always been to line my lips with a liner or use lipstick with a liner brush and "correct" my lips by making the side that is smaller "match" the other, so the sake of symmetry. I'm sure this how most girls do their lips, except for the ones that are blessed with perfect natural symmetry (which is very few).

    Well, a month or so ago I decided that instead of correcting the mismatched sizes (and dont get me wrong its not like one side is way higher/fuller.. its probably an average difference) by adding more to one... I would instead use concealer to subtract the less defined areas around the larger/higher side. I also "neatened" up the edges of my lips by lightly blending (with a small brush) the concealer around the less defined areas (mostly outer edges). Then I would apply my gloss or lipstick as usual without liner.

    And seriously, I have gotten compliments on my lips nearly every single day since. The shape they are this way is just much more flattering. Sometimes I get multiple compliments in a day now. It is -easily- the most I've ever been complimented after changing something.

    I hope the explanation makes sense, it's kind of hard to explain. I also don't know if it's useful to you or not.. since I'm guessing it depends on your lip shape. But, it does go to show that sometimes it's good to try something outside of your typical routine.

    I need a picture to fully understand what you're talking about.

    YES. I do this. The right side of my upper lip needs like a millimetre just covered up. So I apply as usual and ignore the bigger side, and just make it symmetrical to the slightly smaller side.

    I use another lip liner brush and a tiny taste of foundation because I am pretty obsessed with having really sharp edges on my lip colour.
    Get the fuck off my harbl, yo'.

    this took FOREVER guys. lol..... the pic where I did what I'm talking about is closer up, so maybe that kind of makes it less obvious of a change. Also, I didn't take as much time to make either application "perfect" as I normally would.

    here's my lips with nothing. notice how one side is higher than the other...


    here's the way I used to do them (by making that side bigger)


    and here's the new way


    ^I think the new way gives my top lips better shape. I actually had no idea they had that "curl" to them, because I guess I always "drew" over it.

    LOL- so cool.

    I agree. Are those considered perfect bow lips?

    What liner do you use to keep your lip stuff from running? I need something clear or light that can work with anything.

    Do it for the present and future generations.
    Have fun and stick it to the man at the same time.

    Yea, I'm thinking it's that sly, sexy sort of curl at the corners that's drawing mad attention. It looks good.

    If I'm wearing a colored gloss I use the "invisible" liner urban decay makes. There are plenty of brands who make them though. It goes on clear/stays clear and keeps your lipstick from feathering.

    If I'm wearing lipstick I either use the above mentioned or mac lipliners (I have a few, so I use whichever matches best).
