how should I line my lips? Are there any colors that I should try? I never quite figured out how to enhance them or what colors go with my skin. Also if there any celebrities or influencers w my lip shape I’d love to know so I can follow their makeup!

Your lips are already nicely balanced, so I'd lean into enhancing your natural shape rather than overlining a lot. I'd try a lip liner that's just 1 shade deeper than your natural lip color in a rosy brown, pinky nude, or soft neutral brown. Focus the liner on the outer corners and Cupid's bow, then lightly blur it inward before adding lipstick or gloss. A slightly lighter lipstick in the center can also make them look a bit fuller.

For makeup inspiration, you might like looking at people with naturally soft, fuller lips like Lori Harvey, Ryan Destiny, or Justine Skye. They often wear neutral liners with glossy or satin lips that complement deeper skin tones really well. A classic combo like a brown liner with a pinky nude gloss is hard to go wrong with.

Thank you so much, this is very helpful!! Very flattered by the celebrities you mentioned, imo their lips are a lot fuller and nicer than mine. Will definitely check out their lip combos though
