WHY LIPSTICK “DOESN’T LOOK GOOD” ON YOU 🤡 - Lip Liner Tutorial

You might have a double lip line if you identify with any of these:
💋the colour of your lip & 3D part of your lip don't align
💋the colour looks like it leaks out of the 3D part ~ usually more prominent on the sides of the mouth
💋can create "clown lips" when lined normally
💋can make people think lipstick doesn't suit them
- VERY common (Gigi hadid & Rihanna have them)
- makes it easier to line your lips to look pouty
💄 The steps to filling them in:
1. Conceal the outer lip line on the corners
2. Line the inner lip line on the corners
3. Line the outer lip line in the middle
4. Connect the lines
* Optional for extra pout*
5. Fill in the corners
6. Highlight the middle
⚠️ you can use a lipstick but a lip liner is easier especially for this tutorial ⚠️
You don't have to shy away from lipstick anymore!

WOW. I’m in my 30s and never ever saw the concept of a double lip verbalized anywhere. I avoid lipsticks for this exact reason. Thank you for sharing these tips! Can’t wait to try it out.

[@sarahssuperspa]

Let me know how you like it!!

[@rosiebee90]

@@sarahssuperspa it turned out amazing! Best I ever looked with lipstick. Ty again for sharing

[@lilyt18]

Same. I’m in my 30’s and this is going to change my life. 🤯

[@JoanKSX]

I didn't avoid but instead just smearing thin lip colour gradiently like those very popular Korean style gradient lips. It's always work for me when I don't know how to do a decent full lips on my obvious asymmetrical lips and also when my lips are of nothing, I look as if I'm sick LOL (my natural lips look kinda pale) But typical Korean style gradient lips is the opposite of the full lip she is showing in this video. Korean style gradient lips is actually using lighter lip colour starting by dotting the middle inner side of the lips, smearing them gradiently from most concentrated inner middle side to the edges of the lips and then followed by darker lip colour on the middle inner side too but way smaller area.

[@melaniemonaco774]

Same!! I’m 32 and I always felt my lips were weird af!! Now I know what to do with them, tnaks!!!

[@riverceleste4995]

This is so helpful! No one really talks about how lip lining changes with everyone 😩

[@sarahssuperspa]

🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@tiffanyanderson9437]

I’m in my 50s but I was today years old when I learned about double lip lines! This explains why a lot of my pictures would look weird. As a Black woman, I need to color correct around my lips first, but I am definitely going to try this! Thank you!

[@ehgabika]

I don’t know if you’re still reading these comments but THANK YOU. I always felt like my lipliner and lipstick “bled” out or just didn’t look right but this changed the game!!!

[@sarahssuperspa]

So so happy it helped!!

[@isabelcrespo4707]

My double lip line hack I discovered & backstory: I didn't know there was a word for this. When I first started using makeup I always filled in my "lip color" and then eventually started filling in my "lip ledge" instead. I stopped wearing makeup and would get really angry when I would fill in the pigment line because it looked so wobbly and asymmetric. I found out I could do my makeup faster and more accurately with one technique! I'll tell it to you. I saw an IG post that said lipstick looks better if you apply it from inside out in vertical motions rather than swiping side to side. I tried it and found that my "lip ledge" would make it so that it never gets on my face and stays on my lip. Now with this inside-to-outside motion I apply even red lipstick really quickly and accurately even while in a car! Sweep the lipstick starting at the center of your lips towards the lip line and let it brush off of your lip. It creates a really natural lip line that looks realistic even when the light hits it. My biggest makeup pet-peeve is overlined cupids bow where you can see the real line, or "ledge".

[@DiamondsRexpensive]

Another trick to try.

[@melaniefuentes7429]

Tag the creator lol I don't understand 😂😂 thank you though

[@blueviolet3899]

Can u tag the IG post sorry I didn't know understand very well 😅

[@Amy_the_Lizard]

I'll have to try this - thanks!

[@juhitiwari9806]

Please share the link of that ig post

[@anootnoot7192]

literally been rocking lip tint and tinted lip balm since i was 15 (i’m 22 now) because i thought i’d never be able to wear lip liner… 😭 this has changed so much for me… thank you so much.

[@alenecali5093]

This is seriously the best makeup video I’ve ever seen on KZbin. You explain so insanely perfectly and do it slow enough that everyone can see and follow. Thank you so much.

[@sarahssuperspa]

Thank you!

[@emperorofwyoming8960]

As somebody with asymmetrical lips this technique was absolutely game changing. Thank you so much!

[@nicola808]

WOAH. Game changer. This feels like when I discovered that A) I have hooded eyes and b) hooded eyes are a thing and c) there’s a whole different way to do them! Ah. Feels so nice. I’m giving extra love to my lips today 😊😊😘

[@Amy_the_Lizard]

Oh hey, another person with a double lip line and hooded eyes and had to deal with makeup turning out slightly off looking as a result! Hello!

[@arieeelj]

i just want to say you literally changed my life. I NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHY LIP LINER OR LIPSTICK LOOKED SO WEIRD ON ME!!!!! it was the ONLY thing i could NEVER GET! despite all of the videos i would watch. i was always a tinted lip gloss girlie bc it looked insane. and even worse, i have gorgeous lips! it’s not like it was already an insecurity - i love my lips! and now i love them even more and finally understand them!! thank you so much!!!!

[@sarahssuperspa]

I just saw this and it made my day! So so happy it’s been helpful & I hope you’re enjoying and making up for those times💕💕💕

[@GriffithsJacqueline]

That's Brilliant! x

[@Angela-yr6xj]

This is so helpful but also can't get over how clear your skin is!!!

Aw thank you!! I promise it’s not as perfect as the camera and light makes it seem🥰

[@kells2335]

Some are just finding this out in their 30’s Sheesh, I’m in my 40’s and never cared to wear lipstick because of this. Thank you Sarah!💗

[@sarahssuperspa]

🥺🫶🏼

[@jenlewis4382]

Exactly!

[@Ida-Adriana]

Wow. This blows my mind, I went to art school and feel like I should’ve noticed this with my own eyes! I always looked like a clown with lipstick so gave up, I will give it another go using your tutorial. I’m 39 btw 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@omg9261]

Loved your comment. I'm currently trying to learn how to do more complicated makeup than I used to do (I'm 32) and I always regret never attending any art lessons as I always think that having good eye for shadows, colors and details helps a lot for doing makeup.

[@Tay144-fb5qp]

Lol❤

[@EsKaYf4]

I'm 71 and lately I've just stopped putting on make-up which saddens me because don't appear 71. My lovely mum's genes, she was beautiful 😍 😊. So thank you, I've just watched your presentation on lip art , I've become a new subscriber and I look forward to learning further tips which will aid me to present my best self. HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE, I HOPE THE WORLD 🌎 COMES TO IT'S SENSES.❤❤❤❤😊

[@sarahssuperspa]

So glad you liked it!! Wishing you all the best🥰🥰🥰

[@brooklynchen9546]

Omg thank you so so so muchhh for thiss!! For years I’ve just thought my lip shape just doesn’t suit being lined over! I ended up gravitating towards lip tints to just tint my lips overall or just a bit in the center of my lips. But this was so clarifying!!! When you said drawing on your bottom outer lip line feels like you’re drawing on your face, I nodded so hard in agreement bcs that’s how I always feel when I line that part of my lips! Now I know!! And omg one side of my upper lips is rounder/plumper than the other too i almost squealed when you said yours was like that It’s like watching a tutorial custom made just for me 😭 thank youuuuuuu ❤❤❤

[@1000wastedwords]

Saaaammeee. My upper lip does exactly what hers does and this was very validating and reassuring. This whole video was so helpful.

[@tiasara5967]

In the fine arts world of oil painting where “diffusing layers” was originally invented we call it glaze. Building transparent layers, glazing just exactly like you do so beautifully. You would be a good oil painter once you got the hang of it, it’s messy but you’re obviously a very observant and intelligent artist.

[@sarahssuperspa]

Aw thank you! I have always wanted to try it

[@paigereno4578]

Omg I did this technique and I look kinda like a bratz doll but in the best, cutest way. Thank you so much 😍 I always thought there was something “wrong” with my lips, just like I thought there was something “wrong” with my deep-set, almond-shaped eyes. This knowledge is so empowering, especially for people of colour who are constantly alienated by the tutorials that only “work” for people with specific features that align with mainstream white beauty standards. Makeup should be for anyone who wants to wear it!

[@NadiraJamal]

This makes so much sense. I love lipstick, especially brights, but have always struggled with the outer edges looking messy. I think that my issue is that not only does my my vermillion border not line up with the muscles exactly, but it’s also kind of diffused, rather than having a clean edge.

[@valeriekhall]

HOLY CATS. I don't have hardly any lip volume, but have a very defined cupid's bow on top & bottom; think like an early 1930's pout shape, but with almost no 3D-ness. (Yes, I am. A blonde, at that.) Until I stumbled across one of your shorts today, I always felt like I had a "blurry" lip line, but had always just figured I lacked a defined line because of my pallor. I'd never even heard of a double lip line. I literally paused the video to run & try this. Now that I knew what to look for, I'm amazed at the distance between my two lip lines. It's seriously the entire width of a thick lip pencil, like 3mm. Even though I only have pressed powder, no concealer or foundation, your technique made ALL the difference. It took me forever to figure out where on my mouth to cross from the inner lip line to the outer lip line, since I don't have much volume to go by; that definitely made it trickier. But I chose a lip color that would normally be very strong & dramatic for my coloring, & thanks to you, it's not giving clown at ALL! Thank you so much for teaching us this absolute GAME CHANGER of a technique!!!

[@acciousername6776]

YESSSS! Lipstick looks good on my top lip, but when I filled in the bottom... boy, don't I look wonky. Thank you for this ❤️

[@nicolej5924]

What an absolute game changer!!! Obviously, I've had the same experience and at 38 years, I feel stunning in my bright red lipstick! Thank you, a simple but absolutely priceless bit of information.

[@dianemgbur547]

you should definitely keep doing more videos! it suits your personality and demeanor extremely well! ty. 🌟

[@danakendall282]

OMG thank you so much for this! I have very big lips naturally and have always hated how I look with liner and lipstick, which is frustrating because I think my smile is my best feature and I want to showcase it with my makeup. This is exactly my issue with my lips! Thank you from the bottom of my 38yr old heart!!!

[@terrynguyen604]

Awesome! Saw MUA Scott Barnes talk about this in one of his videos and have been doing it ever since! Your explanation is much more clear and concise. ❤

[@HappyKitty_xo]

I have naturally full lips. This technique and concealer placement helped me not feel like a clown. Thank you.

[@BeetleNugget]

Thank you so much for this video! I've never heard of a double lip line up until now. I have wasted so much product trying to perfect my lip shape over time and it taking multiple hours for me to just give up. I immediately tried this and I got the perfect lipstick look within a matter of minutes. Thank you!🙏🏻💙

[@JesCorrow]

I don't have a double lip line (as far as I can tell, anyway - the muscle SEEMS to line up with the pigment of my lips), but I have very thin lips and I have ALWAYS felt uncomfortable wearing lipstick. I tried your technique, and it looked amazing. When I first watched this, I wondered if my lips would actually look fuller if I didn't overline at the edges - I thought they would still look super thin. But this assumption was wrong; for the first time in my 42 years I don't feel self-conscious if I wear lipstick. I literally cannot thank you enough.

[@maunarose]

This just changed my life! I’ve watched Snitchery’s video too, but this is next level teaching. Your artistry and skill at explaning dazzle me. thank you a million times.

[@okibihakubi1100]

You are a godsend, lovely. I noticed I had a double lip line but never came across anything that addressed it. I've experimented on my own but you have helped me tremendously. Please keep up the wonderful work you are doing! I can see how you enjoy sharing your knowledge.

[@_curiousTina_]

This was articulated very well and how you explained the concept with really good examples is impressive. Thank you!

[@RaeAmelia]

I've always done this with any sort of tint on my lips, but this explains why it works. I just knew it looked more pouty and feminine on me, but had no idea about the double lip line reason. Great explanation, thank you

[@helly5137]

OMG!!! GURL I JUST TRIED IT OUT & IT LOOKING SUCH A FIRE ON MY LIPS....I'll be never ever be insecure to put on lipstick....... YOU JUST CHANGED MY FKN LIFE

[@LauraTheNightOwl]

YES! Thank you! I've tried to describe this before, but I don't think I was understood. I have the double lip-line and I've said many times I look like a clown wearing lipstick. I have to be super careful and this is exactly why!

[@flowersome_]

When you said "omg I'm 30 and this changed my life" it felt like you read my mind 😂 this definitely helps so much. I've bought so much lipstick in the past thinking maybe I was getting the wrong shade or something and it always looks crazy. Now I know why! Thank you for this video!

[@meganmiller9640]

Literally life changing. Mind is blown. Thank you so much ❤

[@user-hg3ks6mg4s]

Oh my God this is so helpful! I didn't realize what I had was called a double lip line, but I tried this out today and my lips look AMAZING with lipstick. I never liked how lipstick looked on me unless it was like, super neutral and very similar to my lip color. But after trying this my lip makeup finally looks so good!

[@tanyalee4661]

Omg! I thought I was the only one with this problem. Thank you so much for this vid!!! 🥰

[@brianafrink9391]

AMAZING. You got it exactly. Always felt like a clown..didnt understand why it didnt look good on me like others. This totally worked. Thank you so much.

[@TheVitalforce3]

Excellent video, thank you! 1st, you are absolutely beautiful & it is refreshing to see minimal make-up. 2nd, you have a very soothing voice, precise instructions & a very natural lip, without the heavy & exaggerated overlining. This video was on point & very helpful. I'm 53 & so excited to try this. I also have a double lip & I always felt like a clown!🤡

[@archnadave]

Wow!!! Thank you very much! I never new why I didn’t like to wear lipstick and now this video has opened up my horizons! Thank you very much for this valuable insight on double lip lines. I will defo try this technique!!

[@TheDusTea]

I didn't realize this was a thing until I saw you video. Sure enough, even my thin, white-lady lips have a double line. I did your trick and it looked so nice! Thank you so much!!

[@lohobbit1699]

Soooo I've just tried this tecnique and the result is super good. At first I was a bit skeptical 'cause I thought it wouldn't work on my lips and that would have taken me too long BUT it's worth, it takes time and a bit of practice; my lips look very plump and put together, no more messy lipstick.

Giiirrrlll, I’m 38 and no one has *ever* explained this to me. I’m so excited to try this.

[@EatMyRawrz]

Someone tried to explain this to me via insta and I lost the video. But this tutorial worked SO WELL. I too never understood why my lips would look clownish. I knew about the border but never thought to underline one side and over the other. I got some of snitchery's colorpop set with me right now and it looks absolutely perfect. I wish I knew how this worked years ago. Thank you so so much!

[@Itsstephyhopeyo]

Omg! Your amazing! this is truly something I've never heard before, ever, but I definitely struggle with. Everything you said makes complete sense! I'm 35 and have an extensive lip liner and lipstick collection, that I wish I would use. But I never wear any of it because of this problem! But I just didn't understand exactly what my issue was. Just knew it looked all wrong. I'm so glad you shared this and explained it so well. Like wow I'm so happy right now. I just wanted to thank you and I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. I literally have watched every lip liner/ lipstick tutorial videos and non have ever addressed anything close to this!! Genius! I would definitely love to learn about 3D lips also (something I've never heard of before) thanks again! If you have any favorite lip combos I would love to watch those too. !! ❤️

[@RDaniels28]

I saw a clip of this video on instagram. You helped me tremendously! My clown lipstick can even be seen in my profile pic on here 😂. My lipstick looked TERRIBLE my entire LIFE!!! I even started drawing over my cupids bow. I thought I was allergic to a food or something as I never heard of a double lip. You saved me on many levels. Great video!

Omg!! I’m so glad this came up in my feed!! I was browsing mindlessly thru Pinterest months ago and saw a clip of this and it literally changed my world, I had never heard of double lip before and I always looked like a clown when applying lipstick and hated it cuz I have naturally full/bigger lips. My husband loves lipstick on me but I just couldn’t get over the weird 🤡 face and didn’t understand why everyone else but me looked good with it on! Then I lost my account 😫 and couldn’t remember anything! Long story to say I’m so stoked to find this channel 😍

[@sofiejunk]

This was so helpful.. I wish I had seen this a couple years ago, when I was in my over-lining era 😅 I definitely felt like a clown, so I never tried again after that. Can’t wait to test this method out! Thank you! ❤

[@sarahleony]

🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 I have this! I’ve tried lining my outer bottom center and it literally feels like drawing on my face! This was amazing! And thanks for mentioning Snitchery’s video because I watched that years ago and thought it was great but couldn’t remember the creator.

yess!! ok cool thank you!!! I've been doing sum similar and since i do more alt styles it so works out better than a more "glam" or "natural" style would. but i have HUGE lips bc of the muscle there and ive been kinda doing this technique. but thank you. like thats right just stop being afraid and just do what feels right. half the fun of makeup is doing those minor changes that just make you feel more confident in it and your face
