Steps to follow:
1

Lips will not be beautiful if they are not well hydrated. So before you start applying make up apply a moisturising lip balm on the lips and massage gently. If you notice that the skin on your lips is too dry and cracked, you will want to carry out once a week a complete exfoliation of the area.

2

Now, just as with the rest of the face, apply a base on lips. That will allow us to blend the tone, hide imperfections and, most importantly, have the lipstick fixed much more and stay intact.

3

The first and essential step to make your lips look thicker is profiling or lip lining. Not to get a too artificial finish, ideally use a lip liner in a similar tone to the natural colour of your lips, like beige and light tones. First, outline the lips on the natural contour and then to add volume make a second line slightly above the natural lip line. Blend the line with a small brush.

Then use a liner pencil of the same colour as the lipstick you will use and filled both the upper and lower lip. This trick is ideal to give intensity to the colour, at the end of applying the make up you will get increase lip volume, making these look much thicker.

5

To colour, choose lipsticks with a creamy texture and light colours because, unlike the dark tones, these will make your lips appear thicker and bright. Pink, natural tones and peaches are great to highlight the beauty of your lips and be radiant.
