Nobody had symmetrical lips, so using lipstick you can even them out. The best way to start is to stand behind your model and hold a hand mirror in front of their face. This was you can see what needs evening out with lip liner or lipstick
Firstly start with the cupids bow, I used a hard angled eyeliner brush as I feel this is nice and sturdy to draw in lip shapes. Using the brush and an appropriate coloured lipstick, draw in the 'V' for the cupids bow.
You then need to get the angle of the highest part of the lips right, otherwise they will look to fake and drawn on. Do this by softly drawing the outline on the natural lip line, then step back and use your hand mirror to see where you need to expand.
Next, start from the outer corner of the lips and draw the line in towards the cupids bow. Do this on both sides each time stopping and checking that they are even.
Do the above step to the bottom lip, again making sure they look even throughout and colour the whole lip in - you may want to use a softer brush for this part.
Once you are finished, you can tidy the lips up using a cotton bud and some toner as toner is great to remove grease products without them smudging.
