BEFORE LIPSTICK:
To naturally define lips, start by outlining the Cupid's bow. Then, switch to the outer corners of upper lips and draw inward until you connect the lines at the centre.
To enhance your lips and create a fuller-looking effect, trace along your upper lip line while gradually overlining beyond the natural border of your lips.
To create a contoured lip look, choose a shade deeper than your Lipstick to outline lips. Then, fill in the centre of lips with the lighter Lipstick, slightly overlapping with your liner. Blend with a 316S Brush to create a natural-looking gradient.
AFTER LIPSTICK:
To add extra definition, line lips after applying your Lipstick.
WITH LIPGLASS
Outline or fill in lips completely, then layer on Lipglass for a high-shine look.
LINER ONLY:
Shade and fill in lips.

Comments about Edge to Edge
I've been using the Lip Pencil in the shade "Edge to Edge" and I'm honestly in love. The color is the perfect soft pink that works beautifully for both everyday looks and more glam makeup. It's super versatile and complements my natural lip tone really well. The texture is smooth and glides on effortlessly without tugging, but still has enough grip to define the lips precisely. I also love how pigmented it is—one swipe gives great color payoff. It helps my lipstick stay in place longer and prevents feathering, which is a huge plus. Overall, this has quickly become a staple in my makeup routine. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a flattering pink lip liner that's easy to use and long-lasting. 💄✨

Comments about Cork
Cork is another must have lip liner for your collection. Cork applies on smooth. Perfect for my medium skin tone and universal for other skin tones. Absolutely helpful when you have that nude lipstick that washes you out and Cork goes to work and makes that lip work for you.
