  • STEP 1:

    Focus on Your Cupid's Bow

    Grab your favorite lip pencil (we love the L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Anti-Feathering Lip Liner in Nude Pink or the Makeup by Mario Ultra Suede Sculpting Lip Pencil) and start by overlining the center of your top lip, where the Cupid’s bow is. You can overline the rest of the lip slightly, but keep most of the volume at the Cupid’s bow.

  • STEP 2:

    Pump Up Your Pout

    Next, overline the center of your bottom lip. Then, instead of overlining the rest of the bottom lip, bring the lip pencil upwards, inside and slightly above the natural lip line. This creates a pouty effect, as seen here on @carsynnlovee. Keep the rest of your lips bare for maximum plumping effect, or fill them in for longer-lasting color.

    Gloss It Up

    Once your lips are lined, it’s time to add a gloss — one of our favorites for this is the L’Oréal Paris Infallible 8 HR Pro Gloss in Blush. The sheer pink shade leaves a luminous, non-sticky sheen that lasts for hours. Paired with the lip liner, you have a voluminous lip look that’ll last all day.
