How to cheat fuller lips

Lip fillers are such a huge topic at the moment. Celebrities like Kylie Jenner instagramming their envious pouts, it has now became a huge trend and easier for us to have lip enchancement/ fillers done at a fraction of the celebrity price tag. What happens to those like myself who just don't fancy a needle/ filler and still want a fuller looking pout?

I have never really had fuller lips and to be quite honest with you it's not something that has ever bothered me, however for the past few years I have slightly overdrawn my lips and mainly to make my lips stand out on a night out (as I often wear strong eyes/ contour). Over the years I have found many lip liners from various brands dry my lips out, they often feel harsh/ scratchy and leave my lips feeling irritated.

I am soooo happy to share my lip cheat and without a doubt the best lip pencil/ liner/ contour I have tried. Firstly it gives lots of coverage and is highly pigmented. It has a glide on texture and smooths over the lips with ease. The amount of coverage it gives is definitely the reason for a fuller pout. It depeens the outline of the lips therefore ensuring the centre of the lip looks more prominent and plumper. If like me you lack definition in your lips and want a natural enhancement then you need this dream product....

Application technique; ensure your lips are smooth/ hydrated. Lip pencil works best when it is freshly sharpened and at a fine point. Colour over the natural lip line and try to apply little pressure (too much pressure and the pencil can snap as it's a soft pencil). When the whole lip line is sketched out, I recommend to add more pressure and fill in any areas where you feel you want the lip to look fuller. I only apply a small amount to the corners of the mouth and centre of the Cupid's bow, as this can look unnatural if applied too heavily. Next take a lip brush and blur out the edges by softening the liner into the lip (leave the very outer edges of the lip untouched, this gives a precise finish) finish by applying your favourite nude, anything that is slightly lighter than the pencil shade will give a fuller illusion, I recommend glossy textures for a plumper finish.

I teamed my Huda Beauty Lip Contour, shade Bombshell, with MAC 'Blankety' lipstick and MAC cremesheen gloss 'Boy Bait'. Both MAC products have high colour pay off, high coverage and are both super glossy with no glitter effect- to give a high shine finish. 

I bought my Huda Beauty Lip Contour from Sephora on my most recent visit to Dubai. If you are in the UK and still patiently waiting for a Sephora, then I would highly recommend cultbeauty.co.uk they seem to stock all shades and their delivery/ customer service is amazing.

I am desperate to try all the shades in this product! Let me know if you have tried it and your thoughts? What shades do I need to buy next?
