Boosting your confidence with makeup to balance asymmetrical features is within reach.

With a bit of patience and a lot of practice, you might achieve it!

But it’s important to remember that you don’t want to use the same technique on both eyes.

First, you want to grab a lip liner pencil to carve out your desired shape.

Maybe you havetop-heavy lipsor unbalanced volume on one side.

If one side of your lip is thinner than the other, overline the lip slightly to match.

Conversely, if you want to make your lip appear smaller, line just below your natural lip line.

Utilizing different lipstick shades can also help trick the eye into thinking you have symmetrical lips.

To achieve this with makeup, note what beauty TikToker @makeupbybia does inthis contour video.
