While concealer isn't specifically designed only for lips, it can be used in a few ways to enhance your lip look.
Here's a breakdown:
-
Creating a Base: Concealer can be applied to your lips as a base before applying lipstick. This helps to neutralize your natural lip color, allowing the true color of your lipstick to shine through. This is especially helpful when using lighter or more vibrant lipstick shades.
-
Defining Lip Shape: Concealer, both lighter and darker shades, can be used to contour and define the shape of your lips. A lighter shade can highlight the cupid's bow and center of the bottom lip to create a fuller appearance. A darker shade can be used to contour the outer edges of the lips for added definition. As noted on 07-Dec-2023, a lighter shade (highlighting shade) and a darker shade (contouring shade) of concealer are needed for proper lip definition.
-
Cleaning Up Lip Lines: After applying lipstick, concealer can be used to clean up any smudges or uneven lines around the edges of your lips, creating a crisp and polished look.
Essentially, concealer is a versatile product that can be used to prep, define, and perfect your lip makeup, but it's not exclusively for lips.
