Lip Liner Mistakes That'll Ruin Your Look ...

Lip Liner Mistakes That'll Ruin Your Look ...
By Holly • Jul 27, 2026 • MD

Lip liner is still in style. You can use it to make your lips look larger, or to simply define them. Of course, you need to apply it the right way. Follow these tips from Health and you'll always look fabulous:

1. Choosing the Wrong Hue

Choosing the Wrong Hue Try to find a lip liner that's the same shade as your lip stick. Unless, of course, you want to create the illusion of bigger lips. In that case, "choose a liner that is one shade darker than your lipstick."

3. Working Too Fast

Working Too Fast Don't outline your entire mouth without picking up your pencil. Use small strokes instead.

4. Not Blending Enough

Not Blending Enough You don't want to see a harsh line, which is why you should make sure to blend the color with a q-tip.

"Enhancing your beauty doesn't always mean going for the glossy look. More ladies now see the allure of a shine-free finish. With the right tools and techniques, you can also achieve a flawless, subtle glow. Learn how to master this trend by following these incredible matte makeup tutorials. Enhance your natural complexion without the unnecessary flash."

5. Skipping Shine

Skipping Shine To make your lips look even better, try applying a highlighter on your cupid's bow.

Do you typically use lip liner in your beauty routine?

    I buy lip liners that look close to my lipstick shade but after a while my liner sticks out over the lipstick shade and looks awful. I wish we had closer colours to choose from other than the basic 3 or 4 that most shops only supply...
