I’m a makeup artist – here is the best lipstick for smaller lips

A professional makeup artist has lifted the lid on her favorite lipstick for those with smaller lips – and it comes all the way from France. 

The helpful tip was shared in a recent TikTok video poste by Mallory Osses, an American makeup artist who works in Australia and Bali and who has amassed over 100,000 followers on the social media platform. 

Osses began the video clip by explaining that she believes she has ‘no definition’ around her lips, and found that the lipstick she discovered has really helped her, and might ‘change your life,’ too.

The product in question?

The $29 Bisou Balm by Violette FR, which is advertised as a combination between a ‘sheer, matte lipstick’ and hydrating lip balm.

Osses began the video by showing viewers how to apply the lipstick, which she first applied to the outer corners of her lips.

It’s a trick she uses in order to make them look fuller.

She applied the lipstick to one side of the lips and left the other bare, to show off a side-by-side of the stunning difference.  

‘Look at that, look at that little bit of definition that makes my lips look full, but natural,’ she said.

The makeup artist finished applying the lipstick, which gave her lips a nice definition and light pink glow.

‘It makes my lips look full, but naturally,’ she shared. ‘It doesn’t look like an overline, it doesn’t look like I’m wearing anything.’

‘This is perfect for somebody like me who has small lips, and I don’t like to draw attention to my lips,’ Osses continued.

The content creator even admitted that she never wears red lipstick.

The $29 Bisou Balm by Violette FR , which is advertised as a combination between a ‘sheer, matte lipstick’ and hydrating lip balm, is what Osses recommended to her views with thin lips

‘It just looks like your lips,’ she raved about the Violette lipstick. 

One of her favorite things about the product was its lasting power. 

‘And so as it wears off throughout the day, it doesn’t look like you’ve gone from having lips and lining your lips to then just going back to your natural lips,’ Osses explained. 

‘Subtle definition makes such a difference.’ 

And many of her viewers seemed to agree – in the comments section of her clip, some admitted just how drastic the difference seemed to look.

‘You may have just changed my life,’ one person wrote.

Another agreed, ‘This looks softer than a harsh liner. They have their place, but I like this option.’

‘To the people saying ALL lipsticks do this, no they don’t. The ones that give a defined edge are bold or all day wear matte, not sheer or subtle. I totally get this excitement!’ someone else typed.
