Kendall Jenner is like a box of chocolates (stay with me here); you never know what you're going to get! One day on Instagram, she could be serving barefaced-realness and the next, it's a full glam beat – though unsurprisingly, both are top tier. Having said that, today we're being delivered the latter. Spoiler: It's also a look taking things outside the lines... the lip line, that is.
Like many, Kenny can frequently be spotted sporting overlined lips. Today's lip look comes as a mash-up of both profesh and cazsh with what looks to be a bedroom photo shoot. Take a look at her close up snaps in the below seven-part carousel post:
Now, if, like me, you're intrigued as to what technique Kendall's makeup artist, Mary Phillips has used, then listen up. Rose Siard, makeup guru and content creator, took to Instagram to try it herself.
"Mary Phillips can do absolutely no wrong but she does a lip technique and I want to see what it looks like in natural lighting,” says Rose. Showing a picture of Mary's previous work on Jennifer Lopez, Rose explains that lip contouring is used to achieve a fuller pout.
Instead of going straight in with a pencil, Rose starts off by outlining with a cool-toned contour stick and then heads in with the lip products. Interesting yet effective!
