Glossy Neutral Pink Magenta Lips make your Skin Tone (medium, medium dark skin tones) look bright. Also, the bold magenta lips are an expression in themselves, but sometimes you want to add volume and tone them down without losing your boldness.
In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to make this shape in a few simple steps.

Step 1: Prep Your Lips
As always, start by prepping dry lips. Moisturize with a lip mask or lip balm. Gently wipe your lips with a facial tissue after 10 mins.
And this makeup tutorial will allow you to skip this step if your lips are not dry or cracked.

Step 3: Add a Glossy Topcoat
Take a slightly berry-tinted lip gloss(LANEIGE Lip Glowy Balm Berry) and apply it over your magenta lip pencil. Start in the center of your lips and blend outwards with a lip with pointed cotton swab. This will create a gradient effect that tones down the magenta and adds a glossy finish.
Finally, apply again it with the same pointed cotton swab to your cupid’s bow and the center of your bottom lip to make them appear fuller.
Importantly, if you apply enough lip gloss amount several times to tone down, the color will become lighter and the lips will glow.
