3D Lips

You will need the following items to create this look:
  • Opaque lipstick (preferably bright or dark colored)
  • Lip liner (similar color to lipstick)
  • Fluffy eyeshadow brush 
  • Eyeshadow
Saying that creating this look is easy may be understatement!  I can probably sum it all up pretty quickly.

First, use a lip liner to line only the outermost part of your lips.  This will help to prevent feathering.  Feathering is when your lipstick runs out into the small cracks outside of your lips; not attractive.

Fill in the rest of your lips with your favorite opaque lipstick.  Don't use anything sheer or too sparkly.  

Now, this is where the magic happens!  Grab an eyeshadow in a lighter shade than the lipstick you just applied and a small fluffy eyeshadow brush.  Pick up a good amount of eyeshadow on your brush and gently tap the brush to remove the excess shadow that may have otherwise fallen out all over your chin.  DUCK FACE!  That's right, stick your lips out like you're getting ready to kiss someone and swirl the eyeshadow around the inner part of your lips in a circular motion.  Be very careful after applying the eyeshadow not to rub your lips together.  You want the eyeshadow to stand out, not blend in.

Voila!  That's all there is to it!  Told ya it was easy!!!
