Kylie Jenner and her lips.

 If you don't know who Kylie Jenner is we can't be friends. Joking - you just need to read more gossip mags. Kylie Jenner is the youngest sister of Kim Kardashian. The gossip world has been buzzing about whether or not this young thing has had her lips done- because all of a sudden she is displaying dazzling voluptuous lips. 



In fact if you google Kylie Jenner lips you will get 2.4million hits.
Now considering the Kardashian families love of plastic surgery it wouldn't be a surprise- but it seems that the lips are a result of some very clever makeup.(Which is their other love as we have discussed before.) And a throwback to the 1990's. Yes my friends, over lining your lips is officially back!


    Like Karen Mulder in the 1990's. That hair! Those lips!



                        Not like this lovely lady's 90's lips

Now I have been trying to master this look in the last few days, and it is a little tricky, not so much in the application, but more the maintenance. As your lipstick wears off you are left with a line, so they key to this look is to colour in your whole lip with a nude liner, blending like there is no tomorrow and the reapply, reapply, reapply.

Here is a step by step. ( I did this after work so the days makeup is looking a bit pastey- as is the hair)



1. Cover your lips with foundation. Because we are trying to make the lips appear naturally bigger you want to make the natural line as invisible as possible.




 2. Get a nudish lip liner. This is just a cheap that I got from Target. It is Rimmel, and the nudest colour they have.



 3. Line around the whole lips but as close to the outside as you can without going obviously over the natural line.  Sort of like if you were colouring on the very outside of a line. The only spot to go over (slightly)is the bottom lip in the middle. Then shade in the lips with the liner but go heavier on the outsides. This will give the lipstick something to grab onto and will also ensure you don't have a obvious line. I have also shaded in the bottom lip with a really light shade to reflect some light and make the bottom lip look bigger.



 4. Get yourself a nude colour. This is also a cheapy I got from the supermarket. It is Maybelline and the lightest colour they have. Apply the lipstick to the whole lips, blend, blend, and then blend again, blot the lips and then reapply. Did I mention you need to blend?



5. And we are done. A subtle fuller lip- without looking like a porn star. Now if you are younger you can experiment more and make those babies bigger- but I have put a photo of my lips normally to show that their is a slight difference.


Also in case you are wondering- I am wear YSL Youth Liberator foundation, Stila Stay All Day Liner in Black, a sweep of Mac Brule Eyeshadow, Benefit They're Real Mascara and Nars Orgasm Blush. Shine on the forehead compliments of a day at work.
