LIPSTICK FOR DIFFERENT LIP SHAPES
Here is a mini guide on the right lipstick colors for lip shapes, so please read them carefully.
For Women With Lips Too Thin
You could have one of the lips thin or both, and for that we would look at peaches to pale pinks, light beiges and clear orange to use. These are colors that enhance the lip and make them full.
Do not use dark reds and reds or dark shades or browns, since they minimize the fullness of the lips. Use lip gloss for sure, which helps provide volume to the lips.

What Colors To Wear For Daytime
If you are wearing lipstick for the day, you should go with warm colors that enhance the look.
Colors such as peaches to pinks, corals to berries and beige, work best for the daytime affair. Never wear cool tones during the day or else it would look dark and gothic. Only for women with thin lips, gloss is a must to glam the daytime look which would bring in the compliments.

If You Have To Use A Lip Liner
Lip liners are mostly used to correct the lip shape and to contour them too. If you have to use lip liners, you must use one shade lighter to that of the lipstick color. First apply Vaseline or lip balm to the lips and then outline the lips. The next step would be to use the lipstick with a lip brush to fill the lips. Final touches would be with the lipstick and the lip brush blending the liner into the lip.
