How to Properly Overline Lips for a Fuller Look

April 10, 2020 Beauty, Makeup Looks

Happy Friday friends! I shared a YouTube video earlier this week on How to Overline Your Lips and wanted to share a blog post on it as well! Overlining my lips is something I’ve done for years. I don’t do it everyday, but when I have the extra time I like to do it. I wanted to go over MY tips and how I achieve a fuller pout.

P.S. – I also did a TikTok video along the same lines. 

How to Overline Your Lips + Tips

Use a Lip Plumper 

Use a lip plumper while doing your makeup – I use the Too Faced Lip Injection in clear and leave it on while I do my face and eye makeup, then wipe it off when I’m ready to do my lips.

Start with a Neutral Base

I only do this with a nude lip, but I like to use the leftover foundation from my foundation brush and brush over my lips. You can see in the video above what I mean. 😉

Contour & Highlight

I like to cream contour under and above the lips to add a little extra shadow. Any contour works. The one I used in the video is sold out, but a good alternative is the NYX Wonder Stick. I also like to add a little highlighter on the cupids bow.

Overline the Top Lip

Use a lip pencil one or two shades darker than the lipstick you want to use. Stick to just overlining the cupids bow and middle lip. AVOID overlining the corners of your mouth. Bring your line to your natural lip corners. It’s okay if your lines aren’t even- the lipstick will cover that up later. Be sure both “humps” to the left and right of your cupid’s bow are even.

Overline the Bottom Lip

Again, stick to the center of the lip- overline just under the lip and bring the lines to the natural corners of the lips.

Add the Lip Color

Use a color one to two shades darker than your lip pencil. For my nude lip, I used Beige Babe from Maybelline.

Use a Gloss or Lighter Color in the Center

This will create the illusion of more plumpness in the center.

Practice Makes Perfect

You may not get it right the first few times, but practice makes perfect. Keep trying – you’ve got this!

Products Used:

Too Faced Lip Injection

Contour Stick (similar)

Benefit Tickle Highlighter

Mac Lip Liner – Subculture

Maybelline Blushing Beige Lipstick

Tarte Lip Gloss

I put together a whole lips of my lip favorites with links to purchase. I’ve deparated them into my favorite products of all time, favorite nude combos, and favorite red lip combos. Get it HERE!

Thanks so much for reading & watching!! Until next time,

New Year = New Name!🎉I decided that it’s fina New Year = New Name!🎉I decided that it’s finally time to have my Instagram handle match my blog! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 

When I first started blogging as a hobby (ages ago), I used my personal Instagram account to start sharing my photos. I had no idea what I was doing and was learning as I go! Looking back, I should’ve changed my handle to match my brand, but it’s never too late, am I right?! I always thought it would be too difficult to change it now with so many of you knowing who I am as ‘@itsmekelsie22’, but the more I thought on it, the more I said “F it” and that it will all be just fine! I’m so glad I did it! 👏 So from now on, you can find me @kelsiekristine 🥰🥰❤️ 

What do you think of the new name?! Do we like it better?! 

Blanket scarf & coat linked on LTK- this jacket is still on major sale! 😉 http://liketk.it/36cyd
