Got thin or uneven lips? Make them look bigger b Got thin or uneven lips? 

Make them look bigger by taking a pencil lip liner in a shade the same colour as the lipstick you intend on wearing (or use a nude shade) and using light, feathery strokes or very tiny circular motions, almost buff the lip liner onto the edge of your thin or uneven lip, right where the natural lip colour and skin colour meet. Ideally, you want to extend the natural lip line colour by about millimetre or two (the width of a sharp lip liner pencil). Keep adding more width until the lip looks fuller but still natural. Rather start small and build the line up slowly instead of having to wipe the liner off and start again each time.

Once you’ve lined both lips, fill them in with the lip liner to create a base for your lipstick. Take a clean, dry lip brush or a cotton bud and soften and blend the lip liner onto your lips so that there are no harsh lines but rather a smooth application of colour.

Apply your lipstick to both lips, preferably with a lipstick brush and blot with a tissue. Apply a second coat of lipstick.
