WHY LIPSTICK “DOESN’T LOOK GOOD” ON YOU 🤡 - Lip Liner Tutorial

You might have a double lip line if you identify with any of these:

💋the colour of your lip & 3D part of your lip don't align
💋the colour looks like it leaks out of the 3D part ~ usually more prominent on the sides of the mouth
💋can create "clown lips" when lined normally
💋can make people think lipstick doesn't suit them

- VERY common (Gigi hadid & Rihanna have them)
- makes it easier to line your lips to look pouty

💄 The steps to filling them in:

1. Conceal the outer lip line on the corners
2. Line the inner lip line on the corners
3. Line the outer lip line in the middle
4. Connect the lines

* Optional for extra pout*

5. Fill in the corners
6. Highlight the middle

⚠️ you can use a lipstick but a lip liner is easier especially for this tutorial ⚠️

You don't have to shy away from lipstick anymore!

WOW. I’m in my 30s and never ever saw the concept of a double lip verbalized anywhere. I avoid lipsticks for this exact reason. Thank you for sharing these tips! Can’t wait to try it out.

[riverceleste]

This is so helpful! No one really talks about how lip lining changes with everyone 😩

I’m in my 50s but I was today years old when I learned about double lip lines! This explains why a lot of my pictures would look weird. As a Black woman, I need to color correct around my lips first, but I am definitely going to try this! Thank you!

[ehgabika]

I don’t know if you’re still reading these comments but THANK YOU. I always felt like my lipliner and lipstick “bled” out or just didn’t look right but this changed the game!!!

[anootnoot]

literally been rocking lip tint and tinted lip balm since i was 15 (i’m 22 now) because i thought i’d never be able to wear lip liner… 😭 this has changed so much for me… thank you so much.

[alenecali]

This is seriously the best makeup video I’ve ever seen on YouTube. You explain so insanely perfectly and do it slow enough that everyone can see and follow. Thank you so much.

My double lip line hack I discovered & backstory:

I didn't know there was a word for this. When I first started using makeup I always filled in my "lip color" and then eventually started filling in my "lip ledge" instead. I stopped wearing makeup and would get really angry when I would fill in the pigment line because it looked so wobbly and asymmetric. I found out I could do my makeup faster and more accurately with one technique! I'll tell it to you. I saw an IG post that said lipstick looks better if you apply it from inside out in vertical motions rather than swiping side to side. I tried it and found that my "lip ledge" would make it so that it never gets on my face and stays on my lip. Now with this inside-to-outside motion I apply even red lipstick really quickly and accurately even while in a car! Sweep the lipstick starting at the center of your lips towards the lip line and let it brush off of your lip. It creates a really natural lip line that looks realistic even when the light hits it. My biggest makeup pet-peeve is overlined cupids bow where you can see the real line, or "ledge".

As somebody with asymmetrical lips this technique was absolutely game changing. Thank you so much!

[MANIFESTFASTWITHJASMINE]

Makeup honestly takes tons of study and practice. I have literally researched each section of my face and how to apply makeup to it for months. Brows, foundation, cheeks, eyes, lips, etc. never heard of this tho. I just know I can’t live without lip liner and filling in the cupids now is the BEST way to add volume.

In the fine arts world of oil painting where “diffusing layers” was originally invented we call it glaze. Building transparent layers, glazing just exactly like you do so beautifully. You would be a good oil painter once you got the hang of it, it’s messy but you’re obviously a very observant and intelligent artist.

i just want to say you literally changed my life. I NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHY LIP LINER OR LIPSTICK LOOKED SO WEIRD ON it was the ONLY thing i could NEVER GET! despite all of the videos i would watch. i was always a tinted lip gloss girlie bc it looked insane. and even worse, i have gorgeous lips! it’s not like it was already an insecurity - i love my lips! and now i love them even more and finally understand them!! thank you so much!!!!

[nicola]

WOAH. Game changer. This feels like when I discovered that A) I have hooded eyes and b) hooded eyes are a thing and c) there’s a whole different way to do them! Ah. Feels so nice. I’m giving extra love to my lips today 😊😊😘

[milenaforrest]

need an eye tutorial, its so subtle but whatever youre doing makes your eyes look HUGE pls give us your secrets

[Angela-yrxj]

This is so helpful but also can't get over how clear your skin is!!!

[brooklynchen]

Omg thank you so so so muchhh for thiss!! For years I’ve just thought my lip shape just doesn’t suit being lined over!
I ended up gravitating towards lip tints to just tint my lips overall or just a bit in the center of my lips.
But this was so clarifying!!! When you said drawing on your bottom outer lip line feels like you’re drawing on your face, I nodded so hard in agreement bcs that’s how I always feel when I line that part of my lips!
Now I know!!
And omg one side of my upper lips is rounder/plumper than the other too i almost squealed when you said yours was like that
It’s like watching a tutorial custom made just for me 😭 thank ❤❤❤

[paigereno]

Omg I did this technique and I look kinda like a bratz doll but in the best, cutest way. Thank you so much 😍 I always thought there was something “wrong” with my lips, just like I thought there was something “wrong” with my deep-set, almond-shaped eyes. This knowledge is so empowering, especially for people of colour who are constantly alienated by the tutorials that only “work” for people with specific features that align with mainstream white beauty standards. Makeup should be for anyone who wants to wear it!

[Ida-Adriana]

Wow. This blows my mind, I went to art school and feel like I should’ve noticed this with my own eyes! I always looked like a clown with lipstick so gave up, I will give it another go using your tutorial. I’m 39 btw 🤦🏻‍♀️

[nicolej]

What an absolute game changer!!! Obviously, I've had the same experience and at 38 years, I feel stunning in my bright red lipstick! Thank you, a simple but absolutely priceless bit of information.

[JesCorrow]

I don't have a double lip line (as far as I can tell, anyway - the muscle SEEMS to line up with the pigment of my lips), but I have very thin lips and I have ALWAYS felt uncomfortable wearing lipstick. I tried your technique, and it looked amazing. When I first watched this, I wondered if my lips would actually look fuller if I didn't overline at the edges - I thought they would still look super thin. But this assumption was wrong; for the first time in my 42 years I don't feel self-conscious if I wear lipstick. I literally cannot thank you enough.

[kells]

Some are just finding this out in their 30’s Sheesh, I’m in my 40’s and never cared to wear lipstick because of this.
Thank you Sarah!💗
