Welcome to the statement lip party! With the right method and tools, you can channel your inner makeup artist and raise your lip game. Saying goodbye to subtle and nude shades, and saying hello to bold, popping lip color — let’s get ready to rock a look you won’t forget. Here are five makeup techniques for a bold, statement lip for any occasion.
Use a Lip Pencil
Using a lip pencil to create a statement lip is essential for shaping the perfect pout. Use a lip pencil with a texture and shade close to your lipstick for added definition and longevity. Outline the lips gently and blend to naturally sculpt and balance. Lip pencils smooth the appearance of your lipstick and ensure it doesn’t bleed.

Choose Matte Lipstick
Matte lipstick adds definition to lips and creates a striking look without looking too over-the-top. Choose shades that compliment your outfit and makeup style. Go for a brighter color if you want the focus to be on your lips — like a bold red or mystical lilac — and pair with a simple, but classic eye look. If you’re going for a softer palette, try a mauve, coral, or berry color — perfect for any event.

Use a Lip Brush
Using a lip brush is important as it ensures even application and seamless blending. It allows you to apply the optimal amount of lipstick, creating a much richer and longer lasting lip look. Start by applying the lipstick directly to your lips and then blend the product with the lip brush.
Create an Ombre Look
Creating an ombre lip to make it look fuller and stretch it to the corners of the mouth is the way to go for an unforgettable lip look. Start by picking two different shades of lipstick. To create the ombre, start with the dark shade in the middle of the lip, and blend it outwards to the edge with the lighter color. Ombre creates a gradient effect, while allowing you to try different shades of lipstick to add a fun twist to your look.

Opt for a Lip Topper
Lip toppers are the secret to an Instagram worthy lip look. They can make your matte statement lip shine without looking too much, and are almost essential if you’re going for a night out. Lip toppers come in shimmer and glitter formulations that give your lips an intense look. Choose your favorite shade, apply the gloss on top of your favorite lipstick, and you’re ready to shine everywhere you go.
