Trends come and go but some TikTok hacks are so good, they become staples in our routines—and these lip lining techniques are no exception.
Three of TikTok’s latest, trending hacks will take you from day to night, errands to party, in a snap. Whether you’re going for a natural look or full glam, here’s a TikTok-approved lip liner hack for every occasion.
Gym lips
For casually running errands
This is the most natural and subtle lip look of the three. But don’t be fooled, it’ll still plump your lips like no other.
To get the look, start by overlining your lips with a liner that matches your natural lip color. While finding the right shade may require some trial and error, this is key. Going too light can wash you out and going too dark defeats the purpose. The right, natural-looking shade will give your lips a fuller look without looking like you lined your lips. It’ll look so natural and casual, that you can even wear it to—you guessed it—the gym.
Top off the look with a clear, nourishing balm or oil, and you’re good to go!
Oval lining
For lunch or a casual hang
To amp up your look a bit more, try oval lining—here’s how.
Again, pick a lip liner shade similar to your natural lip color. Start by lining the center of your cupid’s bow and mirror the line on your lower lip. Then, connect the lines on your upper and lower lips by drawing an oval shape across the center of the lip. You’re essentially redrawing your lips in a rounder shape for an instantly fuller look.
Finish by gliding on lipstick or lip gloss for lips that look more round and plump without any harsh lines.
Siren lips
For dinner, parties, any full-glam occasion
For an amped up lip look, siren lips are the way to go.
For this one, pick a liner darker than your natural lip color. Overline your lips, starting at the cupid’s bow. When you get to the outer corner of your lips, flick the liner upward, almost like applying winged liner. Then, line your lower lip.
Complete the look with a lipstick, gloss (or both) of your choice.
