This is how nature is made : not everyone was lucky enough to be born with a naturally luscious mouth like that of Angelina Jolie. And if some resort to cosmetic surgery to correct this little “defect”, others prefer to bet on something more harmless – makeup. Thanks to appropriate care and a few little make-up tips, even women with thin lips can hope to have a fleshy mouth, says Marie Dedivanovic. In our article of the day, the maestro will reveal how to "lift" your lips naturally and effectively using a single tool. Focus!
To be able to decipher the new lip makeup technique, we attended the master class of Mario Dedivanovic, shared live on his Instagram account. During his two-hour session, the maestro unveiled his latest beauty technique that he uses to reshape and enhance the contours of his clients' lips. Using a single lip liner, he shows how to “lift” your mouth naturally without going through botox or hyaluronic acid. So what is this new method? In a few words, the idea is to draw the line of the upper lip as if doing a classic lip contour, then to enhance the line of the lower lip by going towards the outer corners of the mouth to give the illusion of a more voluminous look.
Before “lifting” the lips of his model, Mario Dedivanovic opted for a quick exfoliation to eliminate dead cells and facilitate the application of the following make-up products. Because a nourished and well hydrated mouth retains lipstick better and longer. Naturally fragile and particularly exposed, it can quickly become dry and chapped. The solution ? Perform a home scrub as often as needed.
After exfoliating, Mario takes a pigmented and fairly rigid lip pencil. For the contour to be as natural as possible, it is important to avoid creamy and light products, because they risk making lines too thick, which is not at all the goal of the “lip lift”.
Using a single tool, the make-up artist tackles the Cupid's Bow area while respecting the natural shape of the lip. To naturally enhance the mouth, it highlights the top line. However, this gesture should be avoided for the lower lip. Otherwise, you risk making your pretty face sad, says the king of contouring. On the other hand, it enhances the contour of this area without leaving the natural contour of the mouth.
Finally, the maestro ends his master class by applying a lipstick of the same color as the pencil. Moreover, to blur the latter towards the inside of the mouth, he uses a blending brush. This trick guarantees a more natural and worked final result.
