    I swear you’re like my makeup therapist. You know how sometimes therapists are there to point out some things that are obvious in hindsight, but actually thinking of them yourself seems impossible? That’s what you’ve done with makeup for me. I can’t believe I never thought of doing my lipstick first THEN my lip liner. Also therapists will give you new techniques to work on, which is basically your whole dude series for me. Seriously though, your channel has completely changed both how I look at makeup application and my actual makeup application process.

    It took me so so sooooo long until I discovered that is best to apply the lip liner with the pencil flat instead of using the point. Nobody ever explain this detail that makes it much easier.
    Thank you for being an amazing teacher.

    I have pretty full lips and also a very deep cupid's bow. Mine tend to look pouty too, which most people say they desire but sometimes it makes me look almost mad or frowny. I've used your tips before to make them look a little bit more smiley. You have great makeup tips, Alex. Thank you! I just put some lipstick and liner on using the technique you showed here. ❤

    I've noticed the pigment has started to fade on my lower lip, left side, around the 'line' and so lining my lips has become super stressful for me because nothing looks right. I come on, just as I'm about to do my lips and need a mental break, and here's your video. It worked. I don't feel lopsidded or overdrawn or odd in anyway. I feel my lips look so pretty 🥰 thank you so much for the quick, easy video guide!

    Thanks for this! I also have a double line and feel like it looks weird whenever I apply lipstick normally so I usually go for a smudgy lip so that the colour reaches the actual edge, but I have been scared to overline because I did way too much (for my personal taste) a couple years ago and cringe looking back. Can't wait to try this technique!

  • @ashley-m

    All I can say is WOW. I have struggled with filling in my lips for so long because every time I would do what you did at first - apply color to just the inside of my lips - and call it a day. They always looked so much smaller and puckered than how they look bare, and I figured that lip color was just not for me. But whenever I tried to over line, I looked like Walmart Trixie Mattel… yikes. This is the first tutorial that I’ve come across that was easy to follow and make me feel so good about my lips. They look natural and effortless but also plump and enhanced and not shrunken! tysm Alex ily ❤️

    I'd previously never worn lip liner before until about a week ago (always used a liquid lip or went for a blotted lip) and holy cow does it change the game! I didn't over line and STILL managed to look like I had full lips! Like, where tf did those luscious babes come from?! Definitely looked more dimensional and really completed my makeup look, I think.

    I really am glad that you stopped overlining your lips the way you did in the past. I do recall commenting in one of your videos that you certainly didn't need it. It was too much attention on the lips. This look suits you much better and we can actually focus on your other beautiful features and not just your lips. Thank you Alex for always sharing your continuous journey of trying to find what suits you better, because that is what we all try to do. Very much appreciated 😍Take care.

  • @MagicalGlimmers
    @MagicalGlimmers 2 роки тому +7

    I find it actually gives me that perfect look if I just barely over line the cupids bow and connect it to the rest of my lip line because then the shape looks involved with the rest of my face and doesn't just look colored in like if I just follow my natural lip line 👌👌

  • @wendywoodsesty
    @wendywoodsesty 2 роки тому +2

    I've been experimenting with new ways to lip it up lately. I'm thinking of lip liner more as a contour (additionally using contour beneath the bottom lip) to try and give the illusion of fullness. It's additionally more challenging when aging happens: I'm relearning everything makeup. Thanks for another helpful video.

Also i think addressing how to foundation or “shadow” around your lips alike in your newer video on how to achieve big lips might help make it look more natural for me instead of just contour all around the lips beforehand. Thank you again this is so helpful!!

    I almost have to over line on one side of my lower lip to create symmetry because it’s crooked and fuller on one side vs. the other. I went to get lip filler and they said “if I ‘correct’ it, it’ll effect your smile, and you have a lovely smile”, which I respected the honesty.

    @Marwa.G.S. 2 роки тому +2

    Going over my faint and soft coloured lips with a pencil resulted in asymmetric lines and weird looking lips. My "technique" is to firstly apply like a coloured lipbalm. I do this just in the center of my lips and then spread it until it kinda looks like those Korean lips (dark to light). Or just until everything is lightly covered. After that I clean up the outlines when needed. This is when I can see the outlines or shape of my lips. Then I just out on some liquid lip on top of the lip balm as it will prevent it from looking dry af. Then i tap on top of the liquid with the lipbalm just to adjust the colour the way that works for my outfit that day. Works for me and people like it as well 🤷🏽‍♀️
    So this tutorial really confirms that my technique is actually not bad😳

    I'm so glad you did this video! I have kind of thin lips, but I also have the double/beveled lip line thing. I've tried over the years to only fill/color the main part, within the first line, and I've tried to go out to the second line. Honestly, when I do the latter, even though I have thin lips, going all the way out to my second line always looks weird (I think). But you've inspired me to revisit this technique.
