How to lift the corners of your lips: makeup tricks

Sometimes we want our smile to look softer, friendlier, and younger. But nature or mood do not always help: the corners of your lips can droop due to facial features, age, or fatigue. At joy-pup, we tell you how you can lift the corners of your lips with makeup.

Preparing the skin around your lips

To make your makeup go on beautifully, start with light moisturizing and a base. Powder the area so that your makeup lasts longer. This will allow you to create the right lines and hide any shadows in the corners.

Use a light concealer

Drooping corners of your lips often create a feeling of fatigue. Use a light concealer or highlighter. Apply the product just below the corners, gently blend it upwards. This technique will “highlight” the area and create a lifting effect.

Make a contour with shape correction

A lip pencil plays a key role. Draw a contour slightly above the natural line at the corners of the lips. Do not lower the line strictly along the shape of the lips, but slightly “open” it upwards, connect the lines carefully, avoiding sharp angles.

Correct lipstick application technique

Apply lipstick with a brush to control the shape. In the corners, do not take the color down, it is better to finish the line a little earlier.

Give preference to light and medium shades, since too dark colors can emphasize drooping corners.

After completing the makeup, try to slightly “lift” the lips with facial expressions and fix the contour with a pencil in this position. Then the lines will look softer and more delicate.
