    You can try out an ombre look to see if you like it. Use the side of a darker lip liner to outline your lips before filling in with a lighter shade.

    The shape of your lips can vary by thickness and outline. For example, some people have soft peaks on their top lip and other people have a sharply defined "M" called a cupid's bow.

    Ways to get pouty lips like Angelina Jolie and Kylie Jenner?
    Community Answer
    Those two women have lip injections, so they're not a good example unless you're willing to shell out a lot of money and risk completely botching it and having your mouth area bruised. If you are going to get injections, do your research and meet with the doctor who will be giving you the injections beforehand and research reviews. Makeup-wise, avoid dark-colored lipsticks because they make your lips look thinner. Try a red or neutral gloss, or glossy lipstick. A stain would also work, as long as you put a gloss or Chapstick on top. Before applying lipstick, add a little bit of highlight on the center of your bottom lip and cupid's bow. Take care of your lips and don't bite or pick at them.

    What can we use if we don't have any of these ingredients?
    Community Answer
    Cayenne pepper is an alternative. Just put it into clear lip gloss and apply it. Just beware that this can burn your lips if you use too much so use with caution.
