13 Secrets from Photo Shoots

Full lips minus collagen

Not all celebs get injections for fuller lips. Nemes says makeup can work wonders to give thin lips a fuller appearance. Here’s her step-by-step:

1. I start off by drawing on a matte lipstick or lipliner in any color with my lip brush to fill in the entire lip.

2. I then dab on a lighter colored opaque gloss right in the middle of the bottom lip and slightly blend it outwards. The model mixes her lips once and I dab again.

3. I then take a [shimmery, highlighter] eye shadow or a multiple stick and apply it on the cupid’s bow of the upper lip. The light will pick up on the highlights that I’ve created on the lip, giving off a softer and fuller lip without it looking overdone. For a completely matte look, I substitute the opaque gloss and use a sheer-pearl eye shadow right in the middle of the lip.
