Tip: For the most natural (and flattering) lip liner look, choose a shade close to your natural lip tone or lipstick shade. Line the outer corners first, then connect through the cupid’s bow. If you want more volume, overline only the center of the top and bottom lip—not the whole perimeter—then blend inward before adding lipstick or gloss.
