Okay, so I’ve been seeing this “cherry lip” thing all over the internet and I just had to try it out. I’m not a makeup expert or anything, but I figured, why not? Let me tell you, it was a bit of a journey, but I think I got the hang of it.
First off, I gathered all my stuff. I mean, I had to find my lip liner, which was buried under a pile of other makeup I never use. Then, there was the hunt for the perfect red lipstick. I ended up using the one I wore to that party last year, you know, the one that made me feel like a movie star?
I started by outlining my lips. Now, the trick here, from what I understood, was to focus on the middle part. I drew two little humps on my upper lip, kind of like a heart shape, but not too pointy. Then, I did the same on my bottom lip, making sure they were right in the center. It felt weird, not outlining the whole lip, but I trusted the process.
- Lined the middle of my upper lip.
- Lined the middle of my lower lip.
- Ignored the corners of my mouth completely!
Next, I filled in those outlined parts with the lipstick. I took my time, trying not to go outside the lines, but let’s be real, it wasn’t perfect. I used a small brush to kind of blend the lipstick with the liner, you know, to make it look a bit more natural. It’s like painting, but on your face!
After that, I blotted my lips with a tissue. I saw some people online doing this, and it seemed to help set the color. Plus, it took away that overly glossy look, which wasn’t really what I was going for.
The Final Look
When I finally looked in the mirror, I was surprised! My lips did look fuller, kind of like those plump cherries they talk about. It’s definitely a different look than what I usually go for, but I kind of liked it. It’s fun to try new things, right? I snapped a few selfies, naturally, and even my friends were impressed. They were all like, “Girl, your lips look amazing!”
So, that’s my cherry lip adventure. It was a bit messy, and I’m sure I could do it better next time, but hey, I did it! I might even try it again for a night out. Who knows, maybe I’ll even become a cherry lip pro.
