Check them out now!

5 Best Lip Contouring Hacks To Try Out In 2022

Contour Duo

This is the easiest lip contour technique especially when you don’t have any lipstick on hand. You can add colour and shape your lips with just a contour palette. Use a lip brush to apply the cream contour as a lip liner above your lip lines. Avoid lining the corners of your lips. Blend the contour liner inwards with the same brush and then dab a bit of cream concealer on the centre of your lips only. Blend that out to the rest of your lips and then set it with translucent powder.

Bratz Doll

Love the bratz doll makeup aesthetic? Try their iconic lip look with this lip contour technique. Use a lip liner to outline your lip shape but make the cupid’s bow more pronounced by underlining at the point that the bow dips. Repeat the same on your lower lip as well in order to create a reversed cupid’s bow effect. Now fill in colour with your lipstick.

Halo Lips

This one’s for glamm gals and makeup minimalists alike. Using eyeshadow as a lipstick not only allows you to experiment with a myriad of lip colours but it also delivers transferproof lip makeup that even makes your lips appear fuller. To try this lip contour hack, first outline your lips with a brown lip pencil and avoid the corners of your lips. Now, use a white eyeliner pencil to line directly on your lip line and underneath the brown lip liner application. Blend the two together and then dab on a pretty pink shade of eyeshadow. Blend that in and then dab on a dot of liquid illuminator or highlighter to complete the look.

Doll Kiss

The best way to ace that lip flip or doll lips is this. Use a brow lip liner and apply it over your Cupid’s bow to cover it up. You need to remove any definition on your Cupid’s bow with this lining technique. Overline the centre of your lower lip as well and then use the same lip liner to underline the sides of your upper and lower lip. Dab a reddish lipstick on the centre of your lips and blend to make your lips look flushed. Swipe on a gloss and you’re done.

Siren Lips

First we had siren eyes take over the internet and now it’s time for siren lips. To ace this lip trend, define your lip shape with a lip liner as you usually would and then use the liner to draw horizontal lines extending from the corners of your lips outwards to accentuate your smile and make your lips look more elongated. Swipe on your lipstick and there, you have it!
