How to use: To naturally define lips, start by outlining the Cupid’s bow with lip liner. Then, switch to the outer corners of upper lips and draw inward until you connect the lines at the center. To enhance your lips and create a fuller-looking effect, trace along your upper lip line while gradually overlining beyond the natural border of your lips. To create a contoured lip look, choose a shade deeper than your Lipstick (sold separately) to outline lips. Then, fill in the center of lips with the lighter Lipstick, slightly overlapping with your liner. Blend with a 316S Brush (sold separately) to create a natural-looking gradient. After Lipstick: to add extra definition, line lips after applying your Lipstick. With Lipglass (sold separately): outline or fill in lips completely, then layer on Lipglass for a high-shine look.

Pro tips: Try a lip liner shade slightly deeper than your lipstick and blend with a 316S Brush (sold separately) for a fuller lip look. Use over Prep + Prime Lip Primer for ultimate comfort.
