Dramatique Mega Lip Pencil: How to Line and Fill

Quick Answer

For a precise, long-lasting lip look, use the Dramatique Mega Lip Pencil to outline your natural lip shape first, then fill in with light strokes before applying your lipstick or gloss.

Step-by-Step Lining and Filling

1. Prep Your Lips: Start with clean, dry lips. Exfoliate gently if needed and apply a light balm, blotting away excess to ensure the pencil glides on smoothly. Check that your lips are completely dry before lining to prevent smudging.
2. Outline Your Cupid's Bow: Using the pencil tip, draw an X at the top of your upper lip to mark the center, then trace along your natural lip line from the center outward. This creates a symmetrical base. Avoid drawing outside your natural line unless you're intentionally over-lining; a shaky hand can be corrected with a cotton swab.
3. Define the Lower Lip: Starting at one corner, trace along the bottom edge of your lower lip to the other corner, following your natural curve. Keep the line smooth and continuous; small gaps can be filled later.
4. Fill In the Lips: Use the pencil to fill in your lips with light, feathery strokes, working from the outer edges toward the center. This creates an even base that helps lipstick last longer. Press lightly—heavy pressure can cause the color to look patchy.
5. Blend and Set: Gently blend the filled color with your fingertip or a lip brush to soften any harsh lines, then apply your lipstick or gloss on top. For extra staying power, blot with a tissue and reapply. Check that the liner is fully blended before adding lipstick to avoid a visible ring.
