In my opinion, we can conclude that aliplineris the best solution for creating fuller lips. But also for a long-lasting lip look, that does not smudge or fade. With a lipliner you can give your lips the shape you want and give your lips a boost by accentuating them extra. Whether you are new to lipliners or an experienced make-up artist, we will explain everything about lipliners here.
What is a lip liner for?
A lip liner has many different advantages. For example, a lip pencil ensures a longer lasting result of your lip make-up, but you can also accentuate the shape of your lips. You apply a lip pencil to the edge of your lips. This creates a kind of barrier for your lipstick, which means that the lipstick does not fade. In addition, you can make super straight lines with a lip liner because of the substance and the pencil point. Making straight lines with a lipstick is a bit more complicated. These straight lines ensure that you can accentuate your lips with a lip liner. You make your lips stand out a bit more and look fuller. Especially if you make the edge of your lips a bit thicker ;)
Which lip liner color suits me?
If you are choosing a lip liner color because you want to match it with one of your favorite lipsticks, the answer to this question is very simple. You simply choose a color that is closest to the color of your lipstick. The purpose of the lip liner is that you do not see that lip liner has been added to your makeup look. By the way, you can also apply another color under your lipstick, but then you have to be sure that the lipstick has good coverage. If the color of the lipstick fades and does not cover well, you can see the line around your lips. And that looks less natural.

How do I create fuller lips with a lip liner?
Besides a cosmetic procedure, the lipliner is the best solution for 'fuller lips' in a natural way. This is also the reason why lip pencils are so popular.
Cheating with your lipliner is a great way to make your lips look fuller. By this we mean that you also apply your lip product (not too much) outside the edge of your lips. This makes it look like you have “more lip”. Everyone secretly does this, so don’t be ashamed of cheating! It is important that you use a lipliner that ensures that the result stays natural all day long.
But without cheating you can already create a big difference. A lipliner actually works just like a contour, you accentuate your lips. By giving your lips a nice color your lips stand out and automatically look fuller.
Another tip for fuller lips: contour! Using a smaller brush, apply somebronzerinto the depths of your cupid’s bow and between your lower lip and chin. Apply ahighlighterto the high points of your cupid’s bow for optimal results.
What types of lip pencils are there?
You can distinguish lip pencils in structure and shine. Some lip liners are a bit softer and creamier than the other.

How do I use a lip liner?
- With a lip pencil, outline your lips. Start at the top of your lips, in the middle. Then extend the line to the corners of your mouth, on both sides.
- For the lower lip you do exactly the same. From the middle to the corners of the mouth.
- If you want to make your lips appear a little fuller, you can overline them, but be careful as it can quickly look unnatural!
- After this you can apply yourlipstickorlipgloss. All done!
Is a lip liner suitable for dry lips?
If you have dry lips when you apply the lip liner, it is best not to wear anything on your lips at all. Moisturize your lips with moisturizing products and wait until the dryness is gone. If your lips are only slightly dry, you can also solve it by occasionally applying a balm over your lip liner and your lips. This will ensure that your lips stay well hydrated, all day long.
But you certainly don't have to be afraid that a lip pencil will dry your lips. Often the lip liners have a caring formula!
