I was scrolling through my various makeup posts and saw this really interesting technique. It started with Kelseyanna Fitzpatrick, one of Kat Von D's people. Called Soul Eater, the technique involves using a fluffy eyeshadow brush to diffuse the lipliner, creating a kind of halo effect just outside the lip. Here are some examples. This. And then this.
As you can see, we have the diffused area on the outside and then a very glossy actual lip. The diffusion causes the outer areas of the lip to be lighter than the inner area. This is a departure from the contoured lip that has been in style for a while now, where the outer areas are darker and the middle is purposefully highlighted to create an illusion of fullness. Then again, maybe it's time to get away from that.
This lip diffusion is something people will have to practice. Unless your goal is to look like your put your makeup on while you were drunk (which, in some cases, that may BE your goal), this will take some finessing. Even still, it may be fun to try.
