This seems like a pretty obvious one. But you may be surprised how prevalent this 80's flashback is, especially in my southern stomping grounds. (I've seen women applying lipliner without a mirror! Or worse, wearing lipliner on its own, shudder) In addition to giving your puckers an ashy look, the even more offending mistake I see is thinking that lipliner is an alternative to restalyne. Lipliner should never go above or beneath your actual lips for that stuck-on pucker face. Please.Anyone who knows me knows that I am not an advocator of using lip liner at all. But what numerous beauty blogs will tell you is that the purpose of lipliner is to ensure your lipstick stays on all day.
So if you simply cannot drop the liner all together find a shade that is sheer or the same colour as your lipstick. The proper way to use liner is to follow the natural shape of your lips. If you want extra staying power, fill in your lips with that same shade as if it were lipstick, you can finish the look with just gloss or apply lipstick of the same colour.
When in doubt, drop the lipliner, step away from the lipliner!
