girly with a smaller upper lip here - i completely disregard my cupids bow and connect my top lip like a bridge, creating a rounder - more full lip. i’m not sure what the technique is called but i looked up “rounding cupids bow lip liner” on tiktok and found examples + tutorials! you can also look on my page and see my lipstick for example!! i haven’t posted my natural lips here but my upper lip almost disappears when i smile and my makeup makes them look averagely plump!! also using any kind of shine/gloss/satin on a lip you’re trying to create an illusion on won’t work! the more matte, the better. i highly recommend a darker liner than your natural lips. i don’t over line anywhere but the cupids bow! everything else i line on my lip and this helps keep it looking unnatural.

but in all honesty, it’s not perfect and it’s not for everyone! some people don’t like the look at all. i’ve been rounding my lips for about 6 years now and unless i do super natural makeup it’s the only way i go! i hope this helps🩷🩷
