Usually, girls overline the thin lips to make them look fuller and vice-versa, but if worn in a wrong manner, it can instead give the pouts a "clown-y" look. So, we suggest not to play with your natural looks and just maintain your size and shape the way they are with right choice of colour and texture.
We mean to say that when you are going bold with your lips, keep the rest of your makeup neutral. An unbalanced face with variations of shades all over is never a nice appearance. So, go bold and big with just one feature at a time. If rest of the features are highlighted the same way as your lips, you will end up looking messy.

There are hundreds of stunning and flattering shades in the market you have set your heart on. But when applied, it doesn't work. There is a reason for that.

Here is an extra step to make the lip-shade last longer on your lips. Use a high-quality primer before the traditional application to set the product (lip colour, gloss, lipstick) in place. It also helps create a uniform canvas on the lips for perfect application. You can also dab a powder or foundation in case you don’t have a primer.
To have the lips defined at the bows and corners, you must rely on a lip brush. The artists always use a brush for the strokes as it leaves less room for mistakes as compared to applying it directly from the stick. A brush also helps manage the creases of the lips.

Yes, there is a rule when you highlight your lips. You need to start from the centre of your lips and move outwards. This way you will end up making less errors. After applying, soften the edges that have smudged.

Treat your lips just like you would your face. Remove the lipstick before going to bed. Scrub off your lips and then use a lip balm or a moisturiser. The process will leave the lips moist and succulent.
