Tips on how to make your lips look full without fillers by Mario Dedivanovic, make-up artist to stars like Kim Kardashian
- Mario Dedivanovic has worked with stars like Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez, and he’s sharing his expertise with the world through his line, Makeup By Mario
- The key to fuller looking lips is to overline them but only in the middle, and to line your actual lip at the outer edges – and mix colours to add dimension
Celebrity make-up artist Mario Dedivanovic is behind some of the biggest beauty moments in Hollywood.
Most recently, the brand released a collection of lip liners. Speaking with journalists soon after the launch, Dedivanovic explained how to use the pencils, the mistakes people make when lining their lips and how to get full, lifted lips without fillers.
Dedivanovic says many people line their lips incorrectly
During a press event, the celebrity make-up artist explained that it’s become common for people to line the entire shape of their lips, including the outer edges.
But rather than making your lips look bigger, that technique will instead “drag your face down” and create an unflattering look, according to Dedivanovic.
To achieve a natural-looking full lip, you only need a lip liner and a small brush
According to Dedivanovic, you should start by lining your cupid’s bow – the area at the very top of your lips. That’s where you’ll want to focus on overlining, or applying liner above your natural lip to “instantly lift”.
