Step 1: Conceal 

Apply concealer around your lip line to disguise it. Blend it in with a makeup brush to make sure you have an even finish. 

Step 2: Line

Use a lipliner to create a ‘new’ lip line just outside the perimeter of your natural lip line. This will give the illusion of fuller lips.

Step 3: Colour

Now it’s time for some colour! Fill in your ‘new’ lips with lipstick. We recommend a long-wear liquid formula that will stay the distance.
