-
1. Gloss
Add a high shine gloss through just the middle part of your lips to reflect light.
-
2. Highlighter
Use a cream highlighter around the edge of your top and bottom lip line, which helps push the appearance of the lip outward.
-
3. Colour
Avoid using matte dark lip shades as they absorb the light.
-
4. Lip Liner
When using lip liner make sure you round out the shape from the bow to the outer corners of the mouth, rather than making it pointy.
-
5. Metallic
Look for metallic shades of lipstick as they reflect the light. If you don’t have a metallic shade, use a matte one and buff a sheer wash of shimmery eye shadow across the roundest part of the lips.
