Have you ever tried to play around with your lip shape? It's crazy to see how much your face changes with a fuller upper lip or lining a little narrower to get a Marilyn Monroe pout. Maybe you don't want to make any drastic changes, but you just want to add a little bit more shape or fullness. Now is the time to grab some lip liners and try these tutorials to learn how to shape your lips.

"Of course, in an ideal world, we would all deeply love ourselves and accept every one of our body insecurities, no matter how big or small, and live out the rest of our years in a happy, anxiety-free oasis. But this is real life, and sometimes, you want to play with your lip shape."

How (And Why) You Should Apply Lip Liner

The liner application theory is actually pretty simple, especially if you have the help of a pro makeup artist like Alice Lane, who’s had everyone from Rosie Huntington-Whiteley to Bella Hadid to Jennifer Lawrence sit in her chair. Herein, she lays down the ground rules for getting your lip liner game on point, and how to keep it within the lines (aka no color bleed)."
