Overlining Overload

In this overlining lip tutorial, Sandi starts by using a lip liner in a shade close to her natural lip color. She overlines the middle of the bottom of her lip, careful not to go too far down, and follows her natural lip line near the edges. This technique not only makes your lips look bigger, but also gives you the opportunity to correct any unevenness you may have in your lip shape!

For the top lip, you’ll want to do the same thing. Overline the cupid’s bow, or create one if you have a less prominent shape, then keep the liner close to your natural lip line for the corners of your lips. This is the key to avoiding those dreaded duck lips! 🦆 😗 🙅‍♀️ By only overlining the center of your lips, you create a natural looking plump lip shape.

Next, Sandi goes in with a slightly darker lip liner on the outer corners of her lips to create dimension and shadow, making the center of her lips look even fuller. Now it’s time to top the lips with a lipstick of your choice! Sandi goes in with a nude matte liquid lipstick to make sure her lip line stays locked in all day. 🔒 💯 As a finishing touch, Sandi uses a little bit of her foundation with a lip liner brush to clean up her lip lines and make sure her lips look flawless!
