These turned out, unfortunately, blurrier than I wanted – but it’s bearable. I’ve since recreated this look with a little “twist”, so you’ll get to see those photos soon as well!
You can create any of the four lips below, depending on where you stop, so read on!
Fun, but wearable…ish.
A little more glamorous, and harder to wear out
A little more rockstar and a little less… lip-safe
Totally not lip-safe.
But also kinda awesome.
-loose craft store glitter [DO NOT CONSUME]
-black liquid liner
-black pencil liner
-clear gloss
-concealer
-light pink lip colour
-lip balm
Step one
I always start a lip combination with lip balm – you should know that by now! Here’s a coat of my recent love, Bobbi Brown’s lip conditioner. 
Step two
Conceal – as you all know, I’m using TimeBalm in Lighter than Light. A cream concealer will work best for this, but liquid would be alright as well (you’ll just get less coverage. If you’re using a powder, well, you better mix it with a tiny bit of lip balm first!
Note that thoroughly concealing your lip line doesn’t matter – just the inner half or so.
Step three
I wanted contrast, but “fun” as well, so I picked a soft hot pink, and applied it mainly on the inner 3/4 (which won’t be lined). This is Iman Rubor, a stick blush, but I’m in love with it on my lips. It’s quite drying, which sucks, but pretty enough that I put up with it!
(I’ll review it when I have time. I usually apply less, and it’s not over concealer, so it’s less BAM and more “ooh, pretty”)
Step four
Line with pencil liner so you know exactly where you’re starting and stopping your line! It’s easier to work with, for most, especially in the lip area.
Here is my “lol I look like a freak” grin! It wasn’t very well conveyed without the squished up face and funny squeal…
Step five
Go over your pencil line with liquid liner to get a nice, opaque line. Make it as tick or thin as you wish! If you do make a mess, be sure to clean up the edges with a q-tip and non-oily makeup remover.
Step six: optional stopping point #1
Re-dip your liner brush into the liquid and wing your outline in! Where you put the wings is up to you, but I like mine to be fairly symmetrical on the top and bottom in terms of placement.
Step seven: optional stopping point #2
Dab on gloss. Pull side-to-side in a thick layer, staying within the black, and then pull carefully inwards. The more gloss you use, the less of a chance you have of messing up your lines, so make sure you pick something non-sticky and use a lot of it! I’m just using plain ‘ol Vaseline.
Step eight: optional stopping point #3
Use your pinky or ring finger with a little bit more gloss in order to “mess up” your liner, pulling inwards. Touch up or mess it up to your desire!
Step nine: mandatory stopping point!
Apply glitter, and you’re done! I’m using some Lazer Gems that I picked up at Michael’s ages ago, but anything will work. If you’re planning on wearing this about, please get lip-safe glitter (if that even exists?) and try not to lick your lips.
