To make lips appear fuller, apply several shades of lip color and gloss to create dimension, that's what Marilyn Monroe's makeup artist did. Because I, along with the rest of the internet, am fascinated by pop culture's current fixation on voluptuous lips.
It was the perfect time to have a go at the technique myself.
Step 1: Line the lips
Create the shape of the lips you want with the darkest color pencil. Either brown, deep dark red or plum colored.
Step 2: Create a Base
Use a bright red shade and fill in the lips with the pencil. Focus on the corners of the mouth and use small, short strokes from outline to the center of the lips.
Step 3: Blend the color
With your brightest red , start in the center of of the mouth. Be careful not to go too close to the outline of lips (you don't want to erase the depth you created), but use this step to make sure everything is blended.
Step 4: Highlight and moisturize
Using a brush or your fingertip, press a cream highlighter into the center of your bottom lip. This adds fullness and draws the eye to the center of your mouth, making your lips look more lush.
And for last use a rose lip balm (or lipgloss) to add moisture and wetness back into your lips.
