Roll the tip of the lip pencil in the palm of your hand to warm it and outline your lips with soft lines to give them a little definition. Make your lips look a fuller by lining a little outside your natural lip line. You can also fill you entire lip with the lip liner as this will give your lipstick something to adhere to and ensure that the lipstick doesn’t bleed or budge the whole day.
6. Working with lip pencils, lipsticks and lip glosses might prove to be a difficult task for beginners. To ensure that you get neat lines and complete coverage, while lining your lips, relax them.
