The method of applying lipstick to make thick lips appear thinner can be followed by the following steps:
1. Lip priming: Use foundation make-up or concealer to prime the lips, especially the edge of the lips, to fade the original lip color and lip line, so that the lips appear smaller visually. If the lip color is darker, you can choose a foundation make-up color that is one size lighter than the skin color.
2. Lip shape design: Use a light colored lipliner or thin head lipstick to draw a new lip shape on the inside of the original lip line. Note that the corners of the mouth can be slightly elongated and retracted to visually reduce the thickness of the lips. Ensure that the newly drawn lip line transitions naturally with the skin tone and avoids being too stiff.
3. Fill lipstick: Choose a lipstick color that suits your skin tone and occasion, and it is recommended to use matte lipstick because matte lipstick can visually reduce the protrusion of the lips. Use a lipstick brush or directly apply lipstick within the lip line, paying attention to even application to avoid overflowing the lip line. If you want a more natural effect, you can use a tissue to gently pat off excess lipstick after applying it, making the lip makeup more snug.
Through the above steps, thick lips can appear thinner when applying lipstick, while maintaining a natural and beautiful effect.
