BEAUTY: Kylie Jenner Lips

Kylie Jenner... You either love her or you hate her. For me, as I mentioned in a previous post, it's love and it has been for a long, long time. In fact, I was just telling my housemate yesterday that ever since I was 15, I have been inspired by her look and have done everything she's done ("is that why you cut your hair so short? haha" "... yes"). Her lips are no exception to this. Of course, she manages to make it look like a work of art and me... just kind of overdrawn lipstick, but over the past few months, I think I've gotten the hang of it. 

I know a lot of girls have had the same struggle so I wanted to make a master post of everything that will help you to achieve the perfect Kylie pout. 

Take care of your lips.

Always use an exfoliator. 

Lush, Lip Scrub, £5.50

I cannot emphasise the importance of exfoliation for perfect lips enough. I used to think I could just slap on some Vaseline and be done with it, but ever since starting to exfoliate, I've realised my lips have gotten naturally plump on their own. I use the one by Lush and prefer the Popcorn flavoured one, and I find that it makes a good difference in how my lips feel.

Find the perfect lip balm. 

Mac, Lip Conditioner, £11.50

Okay, I know this is a bit of a stretch for some people, especially when you can get lip balms for £1 from Asda but hear me out. Wearing this lip conditioner has helped rid my lips of cracks and dry skin in just over two months, and when that happens, your lips naturally look bigger and healthier. You use it in the same way you'd use any other lip balm and apply it straight from the tube to your lips, then I just tend to leave it there as long as I can. I have to say that because it's so rich, I do wipe it off before I apply lipstick or pencils as otherwise, the colour doesn't transition properly.

 In my opinion, it's a must for this process but I can admit that there are probably other conditioners out there that do the same job.

Use plumper products.

Too Faced, Lip Injection Colour Bomb, £16.00

It isn't the most pleasant thing to apply a product and have to wait around for 4 minutes while it feels like your lips are being stung by bees but, sometimes, it's worth it. I remember when I was 12, I went on holiday with one of my cousins and she made me try on a lip plumping gloss and I was hooked. We put it on five times a night every time we went out, which, for a 12 year old, was kind of weird. But, hey, guess I've always been obsessed. 

 I'm not going to say this is a must because I know a lot of people can't handle the unpleasant feeling it gives them, but I have to mention that the Too Faced Colour Bombs are the best that I have tried. Although they sting for a little while, the feeling completely disappears after two minutes or so and it leaves lips looking so much plumper and nicer.

Find the perfect shade.

There are so many directions you can go with the colour of your lips when it comes to this step but it's always safer to stick to neutral tones in your first few tries. Kylie is known for using Velvet Teddy by Mac, but nowadays she also claims that she only uses lip pencils to achieve her look. I, personally, haven't tried Velvet Teddy yet and prefer to stick to pencils when going for the overfilled look, using cheaper alternatives to hers. I'm going to leave a list of lipliners and lipsticks you can use to achieve the look pictured above, and you can let me know whether you think they're successful or not.

Mac, Velvet Teddy, £15.50, BUY

Sleek Lipstick True Colour, Barely There, £4.99, BUY

Rimmel, Lip Liner Exaggerate, Addiction, £3.99, BUY
L'oreal Paris, Rouge Infallible Lipliner, Always Toasted, £5.19, BUY
