With fuller lips, the focus is usually on exaggerating the Cupid’s bow area, as well as the centre of the bottom lip.

Lip wings instead also focuses the over lining on the outer corners of lips, by drawing a flick towards the edge of the mouth and up – creating a subtle shadow that gives the illusion of a wider pout and a natural hint of a smile.

TikTok  creator Hayley Bui showed how her followers how to do the look, by taking a brown lip pencil to trace her Cupid’s bow, then drawing a line up and away from the edges of the natural edges of her top lip.

She finishes the look by blending the brown line with a slightly lighter shade as well as lining her bottom lip. Then to make everything pop, she adds a layer of clear lip gloss.

Essentially, just go about over lining your lips as you normally would, with the extra step of adding the flicked ‘wing’. Simple!

Many other TikTokers. have been trying out the trend with stunning results. Meanwhile, some others aren’t so keen and say the look is a teensy bit over-the-top, giving them “Joker” from Batman vibes.

Regardless, we are definitely trying this one out ASAP.
