YOUR GUIDE TO LIP CONTOURING IN 3 STEPS

Contouring is making a resurgence, and it's not limited to just complexion products. While sculpting the face for well-defined features remains a staple in our beauty rituals, there's a new 90’s inspired lip trend circulating with the promise of a fuller, plumper pout. 

Curious about the art of lip contouring and how it can help you achieve those enviable plump and lush lips? We've got you covered with a simple 3 step guide on how to recreate this trend, complete with the essential beauty products that will seamlessly integrate lip contouring into your makeup regime.

WHAT IS LIP CONTOURING 

Lip contouring, much like facial contouring, is a technique that accentuates the curves of the lips, yielding a fuller and more dramatic pout. This technique can also help to correct lip shape and symmetry or create a specific lip shape.

PRODUCTS FOR LIP CONTOURING

For a contoured look, you will need a deeper shade of lip liner to your lips complexion and a lighter shade of lipstick. A touch of lip gloss for a finishing touch that delivers a lustrous, glassy shine.

From opulent browns and captivating burgundies to deep berries and sumptuous maroons. These colours embody the spirit of the era, elevating your lip game with a nostalgic touch. 

HOW TO CONTOUR LIPS IN 3 STEPS

  1. Use a lip pencil to fill in the counter corners of the lip, top and bottom, leaving the centre of the lip open. Lip Liner Deep Nude is pictured here. 
  2. Starting in the centre, apply a lighter shade of lipstick that has a soft shine or gloss directly on top. This will blend the deeper shade and create a beautiful contour. Bio Lipstick Artemis Nude is pictured here.
  3. Finish by applying a lip gloss to the centre of the lip for a high shine that is the perfect finishing touch for creating fuller-looking lips.
