Cheat with makeup
As for the rest of the face, contouring is the ally of thin mouths for a sham effect. Renowned technique with beauty-gurus like Kylie Jenner, just start by applying a little foundation or concealer on the lips before hemming the contour using a tone-on-tone pencil with the lipstick. It is then quite possible to increase this contour to enlarge the mouth within the limit of 3 additional centimeters.
On the lipstick side, we favor balm, glossy or shiny formulas to the detriment of matte finishes which tend to shrink. Bonus, these formulas contain moisturizing agents which, in addition to their magnifying effect, pamper the mouth. Finally, we focus on light and luminous shades which create a thickening effect unlike dark shades which refine and harden. For the final touch, we deposit a hint of highlighter just above the cupid’s bow and along the lower lip to capture the light and bring a nice volume effect.
