      I have very thin lips. She is correct about not starting the lipliner from the outer corners. However, you can simply start with moisturizer (or vaseline then take a brownish shade of lipstick. (makes teeth look whiter) Apply the lipstick, then dab on liquid foundation. Then, take the lip liner last, and go over the lips The whole secret is the liquid foundation making the lips look fuller.

Anyway, I’m definitely going to try it again with your advice and the technique etc. I would have absolutely made the mistake of drawing my lips out to the edges. Thank you again! You are amazing 💜

    Fifteen years ago, in 2007, I wanted fuller lips so bad I paid $900 to have Restylane injected into my lips at a doctor's office. I had thin lips my entire life and was in a position where I could finally afford to do something about it. Back then a bigger upper lip was preferable, with a smaller bottom lip, so I had about 10 injections into the upper lip. It hurt so bad I had to rest for 15 minutes with a cold washcloth on my forehead before continuing on to the bottom lip.
    The doctor told me my lips would be bruised for a few days (they were) but I would be happy with the results. Boy, was I. The next day I went to work and everyone told me I looked younger but couldn't figure out what I had done. The bruising was hidden with concealer and a nude lipstick. The effect lasted for about a year, and I was fully prepared to do it again no matter how much it hurt. (We survive childbirth for God's sake.)
    I never went back because my best friend at the time was a makeup artist who worked for the entertainment industry (she won an Emmy for her prosthetic work on the Klingons aliens on Star Trek) and she showed me this new technique for the look of fuller lips. I was blown away and have been doing it ever since. We've lost touch over the years, I moved to San Diego and she was hired to do the makeup for a movie that was filming in Prague for six months (lucky her), but if you're out there Mary Kay, hello and thank you for that little tip that boosted my confidence and changed my life forever.

      Bette Davis and Joan Crawford had overdrawn lips in the late 1930s to mid 1940s, it’s been a trick for years, Max Factor and the Westmore family of make up artists mainly designed the looks for movie stars, funny, it was all usually older men in suits doing make up then, men that looked more like office bods or headteachers than make up artists

Also, I have been blessed with full lips, but now I am older I have always been doing the same routine all my life. Recently I have realised how clown like I look, and that your method is totally a game changer. Thankyou so much again . You look amazing. xxx

  • @garypuckettmuse
    @garypuckettmuse 2 роки тому +2

    I commented on this on a random tutorial because I couldn't find where the right video was so thanks, Nikol, for doing a separate video! I actually have something to add, if I may -- I'm in my 70's so I alter this a bit -- my lips are pretty dark so I make sure the lip liner is the color of my lips (may be darker than you think when you try it and I am very white skinned). The reason i do that is that I actually cheat the corners more than Nikol does. I just stop the liner staying away from the corner and with the matching liner it works. Then as Nikol showed taking a highlighter around the mouth, I do that on top but I also put a dab in the corners of my mouth and dab that with powder. Once you try it it's not all that complicated. Anyway, that's how I make sure I'm not darkening the corners of my lips or that lipstick doesn't drift in to the corner. I absolutely love this hack and, really, in my 70's so I've been wearing chapstick -- and color on the mouth is so important as we get older. Another hack for me is wearing a blue undertone lipstick as it makes my teeth look white. It doesn't have to be dark but avoiding anything coral, peachy . . .like that. Cheers!

I remember in the eighties, this girl came into the ladies in a club, and her make up was amazing...she was touching up in front of the mirror, all pouty and looking beautiful...and she did this 'connecting the cupids bow' with her liner. When she left, there were about four of us in the mirror frantically trying to copy it LOL and when I got outside and was standing at the bar, I noticed she was looking at me and winking! Imitiation is the best form of flattery after all

    Even tho there’s many of us who know/love this hack sometimes all it takes is “sharpening up” a hack that can make a big difference! So instead of just going in & over lining in the way I’m so used to, I took the extra time & actually concentrated on applying everything exactly how you demonstrated. And it was BECAUSE the application is juuust a bit different & required some extra concentration, the results were indeed a better! It’s like perfecting a hack! I was going to post on IG but I just don’t photograph well & I’m a little self conscious anyway. But this was fun!

    I love this hack! I had a serious accident when I was a baby that resulted in my upper lip being completely severed down the middle. Fortunately my grandmother who was a nurse was there at the time. She grabbed an ice pack and held my lips together the whole way to the emergency room. A nurse who happened to be a nun was on duty at the ER. She sewed my lips back together perfectly creating my cupid's bow. I do have a small scar from just under my nose to the very top of my lip which is barely noticeable. As I've aged it has become more pronounced which is why I think this hack will help me correct my scar. Thank you for showing us how to achieve this glamorous, beautiful look.

The natural shape of lips can be made to look thicker or thinner with a good lip liner but to go this way… not getting it! I’ve done stage makeup for over 20 or more years, for various shows etc. never thought this was a good look! You are a beautiful woman and I love your products and all the advice you give but just not a fan of this one.

    I have nubby silicone lip exfoliating wands that work well but a cheap microfiber washcloth works really well, too. I buy the microfiber cloths 4/$1 at the dollar store. I balm up before exfoliating. Perfect results.
    I’ve been lining my (skinny) lips like this since the nineties when I saw it in a magazine. Soooo many great makeup tips came out of the era of the supermodel! I think the models then were so stunning that the MUAs (except for a few standouts) weren’t given their full credit due for innovation and artistry.
    I find it strange that so many women now are outrageously over lining their top lips, or having procedures done making their top lips really outsized. Most human beings have fuller bottom lips than top. There are a lot of living Bratz dolls walking among us now. To each her own but it is really disconcerting to me, personally.

    With aging my lips are disappearing before my very eyes lol. I'm definitely going to try these tips. My lips are also very pigmented so your eye lip primer works miracles on neutralizing the lips so I get true lipstick colour. Thanks so much for these tips. Hugs from Toronto.

      I went farther. Google lip fillers. I ordered a Fine lip syringe and a lidocaine creame.
      Then with 2 pokes, I augmented my flattening upper lip.
      Gals everywhere are doing this fix, more experienced women are teaching the tricks free. Start by purchasing alcohol to kill any germs!

I didn't have to reapply it during the night and my lips were so soft and smooth in the morning! I am so happy! I love your videos and really appreciate your tips and tricks.❤

    • @denisemiller8474
      @denisemiller8474 2 роки тому +2

      If your lips are not smooth in the morning or smooth at all during the day your not drinking enough water. Water helps plump the lip Vaseline at night or a good Manuka honey lip balm. Chap stick. I use a cinnamon Manuka honey lip balm from honey bee. The cinnamon gives my lips that extra plump .

I am now 63 very dry skin few wrinkles....love my serum and moisturizer - makes me feel more comfortable. I loved the way you put it in another video: since the pandemic and increased use of zoom / video / FaceTime it is obvious even to me that I REALLY need to "master makeup". On tech screens I look totally washed out. Thank you for making this about empowerment. My lips are slightly thinner - now this video I can't wait to try. Thank you

    @Mainzermelli 2 роки тому +8

    I love this technique, thanks for reminding me ❤️ it's important though to not use a glossy or shiny lipstick, as it will 100% give away the true cupids bow when you're moving your face. Not a fan of ultra matte lipsticks either.
    I usually put a lip balm on clients before starting Makeup, so it's well absorbered when I start with the lipstick. Lipstick is always last so they can drink/smoke/talk without me having to re-apply. By then, applying a lipliner will give amazing results on the nourished lips, no lipstick needed.
