Quick Answer
Use the Dramatique Mega Lip Pencil Artistry Duo to line, define, and fill your lips for a precise, long-lasting base. Follow the steps below for a flawless application.
Why a Lip Pencil Duo?
A lip pencil duo gives you two complementary shades in one compact, making it easy to create both bold and subtle looks. The Elson + Obsessed combination offers versatility, whether you want a sharp, defined edge or a softer, blended finish.
Using a pencil before lipstick or gloss helps prevent feathering and extends wear, so your lip color stays put through meals and long days.
Step-by-Step Application Guide
- Prep Your Lips: Start with clean, dry lips. Exfoliate gently and apply a thin layer of lip balm. Wait a minute for the balm to absorb so the pencil glides on smoothly. Checkpoint: Lips should feel smooth, not greasy.
- Outline the Cupid's Bow: Using the lighter shade (Elson), draw an 'X' at the center of your upper lip to mark the cupid's bow. Then trace along your natural lip line from the center outward. Common mistake: Don't overdraw beyond your natural line unless you're intentionally altering the shape.
- Define the Lower Lip and Corners: With the same pencil, outline the lower lip from corner to corner. Keep the line as close to your natural edge as possible for a clean, defined look. Checkpoint: Ensure both sides are symmetrical before moving on.
- Fill and Blend: Fill in your lips with the pencil, using light, even strokes. For a softer look, use your fingertip or a lip brush to blend the color inward. Common mistake: Avoid pressing too hard, which can create a patchy or uneven base.
- Layer the Second Shade: Apply the deeper shade (Obsessed) to the outer corners of your lips to add dimension. Blend lightly with a brush for a gradient effect, or keep it as a liner for more contrast. Checkpoint: The result should be a seamless blend, not harsh lines.
- Set and Finish: Blot your lips with a tissue, then apply your favorite lipstick or gloss over the pencil base. For extra staying power, dust a translucent powder over a tissue placed on your lips. Common mistake: Skipping the blotting step can cause the product to slide and fade faster.
