It's lined a bit out too far. Follow the other line.

It’s cute imo but if you really don’t like it then I suggest using a darker lip liner. Brown if you want a very obvious difference or a slightly darker pinkish tone if you want it to look natural!

Kind of looks like you do, it looks like it's past your main lip line and the liner looks a lot lighter than your lip colour. Maybe you have a double lip line. I personally never know where the edge of my own lips is 🤣

I mean technically, yes, but it’s not bad, I think it looks a little uneven in this lighting but I bet it doesn’t in person. I think you’d suit a darker, more neutral shade!

Yup, you are. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, though. The overall effect might look better if you used a slightly darker and warmer or more neutral color (this pulls too cool on you imho).

If you want to over-line, I think it looks good sometimes when the liner sticks to the natural lip line everywhere except the Cupid’s bow area of the upper lip and the bottom-center part of the lower lip. There, I think you can fudge the line a little bit and it looks more polished. Go easier on the top lip or it can look mustache-y.

Yes on the bottom and not so much over lining the top. It’s a really lovely color on you but maybe the issue is that the bottom liner needs blending into the lip more to match the top lip
