We dream of a mouth zero defect , naturally pulpy, but ours is too small, too thin, not well drawn ... What if we tried contouring ? Thanks to this make up technique made famous thanks to the Kardashian clan queen, Kim, you can redesign the features of her face to give her another structure. Good news: the contouring also exists for the lips and thanks to him, we can give our mouth the desired look without going through the aesthetic surgery box. Manual.

Step 1: unify for a nude mouth

Once you have taken care to unify your complexion with a foundation and foundation , you spend a little foundation on your mouth. It is also possible to use the corrector or the illuminator of complexion , provided it is of the same color as our complexion. The result is faded to obtain a nude mouth , unified with the rest of the face.

Step 2: redraw his mouth in pencil

Transforming thin lips into a luscious mouth is the goal of contouring the lips . To do this, we cheat a bit and with his pencil we redraw the contour of the lips by starting a little higher to give his mouth the desired shape. The idea: enlarge the natural feature. We use a nude pencil or the color closest to our natural mouth. And we mask the demarcation between the line of pencil and that of our mouth by filling it with the same pencil. You really put on the natural by blurring the result with your fingertips.

Step 3: Drain to dig and lighten for volume

For the face as for the mouth, the rule of contouring is simple: the dark is used to dig and the clear to bring the volume. The first is therefore applied to the corners of the mouth, and the second is reserved for the heart of the lips. In other words: with a lip pencil of the same color as the lipstick to be used, the contour is drawn over the nude line , insisting in the corners. Then apply its lipstick (brush for more precision) on the rest of the mouth. If one does not want a united mouth, one can also opt for a degraded effect by creating shadows: the heart of the lips should then be clearer, which brings volume and effect "pulpy mouth" .
