If your lips don’t look the way you wish them to, a good lip contouring tutorial can save the situation. Almost always a lipstick chosen correctly and a couple of spare minutes can handle the situation better than any surgery.
Some opt for permanent makeup that can last for a couple of years. It will probably save you from daily routine but can possibly leave with the lips you don’t like either. Besides, it is quite painful. So let’s figure out how to contour your lips without any interference.
The perfect contour
There is no universal solution how to lip contour to make you look perfect. It always depends on the shape of the lips. If your lips are symmetrical, it will be easier. If not, don’t get upset – it will take just a couple of more minutes and a pencil.
