The “Nina Park Lip” Is Trending – Here’s How To Do It

“The Cupid’s bow, in particular, dictates the shape of the rest of the lip,” Burton continues. “How you define the ‘V’ of your Cupid’s bow, dictates either the pertness or the fullness of the mouth.” When applying lip liner, Burton hones in on both the Cupid’s bow and the centre of the bottom lip, which makes it easier to neatly glide the product around the rest of the mouth.

“I start by contouring the lips with a cream contour,” shares Phillips. “Then, I select a shade closest to the natural lip colour, before using a small brush to diffuse the lip liner so there are no harsh lines. Sometimes, I like to contour again with a cool-toned lip liner on the Cupid’s bow and corners of the mouth,” she adds. “Lastly, I’ll apply lipstick and pat my finger on the lips to work the product in.”

For Burton, “a gel texture is better because it tends to be more long-wearing”. She adds: “You also need a really good lip balm – nothing too slippery to completely wipe off the lip line.” The make-up artist’s hero picks include “Glossier’s lip-line enhancing pencil and lip gloss. It’s so dense and sticky that it kind of keeps everything in place.”
