I like to start by drawing an X at my cupids bow with lip liner, which helps create even peaks to the top lip. The height of the peak will contribute to how overdrawn your lips will be.
Next, start working the line from the peak in a rounded motion toward the natural inner corner of your lips. Never bring the lip liner outside each corner.
Repeat on the bottom, outlining the middle portion first, then bringing the line into the corners.
Fill in the corners of your lips with liner, then blend inward with your finger.
Fill in the center of your lips with your lipstick, careul not to completely cover your lip liner!
