Overling | How celebrities Use Lip Liner to Fake a Fuller Pout
it’s no secret that liner is the trick to creating the illusion of fuller lips. In fact, using a lip pencil to overline your lips is a classic hack, dating back to Clara Bow in the ’20s and seen again on runways (and on celebs everywhere) in the ’90s.

Both artists suggest sticking to a matte neutral shade when softly cheating the line to keep the look natural and current. The key is to use a nude shade with the same undertones as your skin tone that way the contrast of shades looks cohesive. For instance, if you have pink undertones, use a neutral shade with a slightly pink hue to it for your most flattering shade.

After you’ve shaded in the corners, trace along your lip line while gradually veering outside of your mouth’s natural perimeter as you move toward the center of your top and bottom lips — but only slightly!
- Fill in the center with lipstick.
Use a lipstick shade similar to the liner for a subtler effect, or opt for a slightly lighter lipstick to emphasize the line.
