I'm new to the whole lip liner look, I'm just recently purchased Australis Lip Liner in the color My Fair Lady. It's a browny red. But the problem is I don't know how to use it properly!! I need looks that would go well wither color and also suggestions on ANYTHING lip liner wise.

Also I know this is a stupid question but can you sharpen the lip liner??

Sorry for the dumb question and please help me!! Xxxxxx

Line your lips by just following their natural shape and then, to prevent it from looking unnatural, also fill in your lips with the liner. then follow up with a lipstick which you put on top. this will prevent the lipstick from slipping/smudging around your lips and it will make it last sooo much longer. and yes, you can also sharpen lip liners, there are special cosmetic sharpeners I think... for your liner, I would suggest a burgundy red colour lippie to pair it with. have fun experimenting! :)

Just line your natural shape and please don't over line.
that trend is too much lol.
you can buy sharpeners from anywhere I know some good ones are the anastasia, NARS, urban decay & sephora brand (:

Oh and you don't have to fill in your lips with the lip liner, you can just outline the lips and then use a lipstick.

First line your upper lips with a pencil. Trace is slowly with small strokes but keep it smooth. Then outline the bottom lip. The last are the corners. If it helps open your mouth so you can get the pencil in the lips corners. Yes, you can sharpen the lip pencil / liner with lip pencil sharpeners. (Easily aviable at drugstores). If you want more lasting lip colour use the lip pencil under the lipstick as well! It will make the lipstick last longer
