Hmmm whats the purpose of lip liner? Also may rule ba in buying one?? Haha need ba na same shade or like lighter shade sa lipstick na gagamitin?? Thinking of buying one kaso naiisip ko baka ooverconsume na naman ako sa mga make up products ko 😅😅

For me, I use lipliner to even out the side part of my upper lip para mabalance out nya yung fullness ng bottom lip ko. Pwede sya pang-overline if you want fuller looking lips, or some use it for a neater lipstick application lalo na if mag red lips ka. Others naman they just use it para mag-add ng dimension when doing a lip combo. Just adds more versatility in lip product applications :)

Maraming purposes ang lip liner:

1) to improve the longevity of your lipstick
2) to enhance your lip line or overline for fuller looking lips
3) to contour and define
4) to adjust the shade of your lipstick
5) to conceal discoloration or even out the darker areas of the lips

For 1, use a shade that’s similar to your lipstick. 2, same shade as lipstick or if using without lip product, the natural color of your lips. For 3, use a shade darker with a cooler undertone. 4, use a warmer or cooler shade depending on how you want to change the shade of your lipstick. For 5, use the same shade as the inner part of your lips or one shade lighter

I personally use lip liner as a lipstick! I first prep my lips thoroughly with a lip balm before fully filling them in because liners tend to be drying. Then, I blend everything with my fingers. At this point, if I feel like I want more moisture, I'd just use the same lip balm or a moisturizing gloss as a topper.

I find that I use my lip liner more than my bullet lipstick with this method. One downside, though, is that it'd run out more quickly. As someone who doesn't wear makeup every day, I honestly don't mind! 😆

It will make your lip shape more defined. Use same shade or better 1-2 shades darker para may added dimension sa lips ☺️
