A Modern Lip Means Your Lips Are That Color

Just as with eye makeup, there are multiple ways to approach lips.

The next 4 blog posts focus on lips alone.

 

A technique that most boasts the Face with a Heart  method is The Modern Lip.

In short, it appears your lips are that color and not wearing that color.

Rethinking Lip Liner

Lip liner pencil is a thirsty formula designed to absorb creamier pigment (lipstick).

Lip liner is traditionally designed to frame the shape of the lips and absorb lipstick so it does not bleed past the frame of the lips.

By using it in the Modern Lip Method, lip liner acts as a sponge and pulls lipstick down into the lip for a more natural and longer lasting stain on the lips.

Here is how I get it to work.

 

• Pick a lip pencil similar to the lip color you want to use.

 • Fill in the entire lip with lip pencil.

 

 

• Brush the lip pencil pigment vigorously into the top layer of the lip skin with a lip brush.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

• Next apply a thin layer of lip color (lipstick) in the same fashion with the lip brush.

• Apply as many layers as needed to achieve the density of lip color desired.

 
 
 

You will experience longer lasting lip color that appears as your lips are that color and not wearing that color.
