Remember the time when Angelina Jolie's luscious lips were all the craze? Well, the World's Sexiest Lips Crown has now been passed on to Kylie Jenner, who admitted to getting lip injections to score fuller puckers. Her new look even sparked a viral Instagram moment early this year: the #KylieJennerLipChallenge. Women took extreme measures to nab supersized lips—some even used suctioning devices that made their lips swell! Sounds crazy, right?

They should have just used this pain-free method of scoring a pillowy pout: lip contouring. Contouring makes things look more three-dimensional. Darker hues make areas recede, while lighter shades make everything pop out. Here's how to nail the technique:
Step 1
Hydrate your lips with lip balm, and cover it with foundation.

Step 2
Softly outline the lips with a well-sharpened white eyeliner past the natural edges of your pout.

Step 3
Dab and blend a light shade of concealer on the cupid's bow.

Step 4
Apply your favorite shade of lipstick all over the mouth with a lip brush.

Step 5
Paint on a lipstick a shade lighter than the one you're wearing at the center of the lips.
