What 7 People Look Like With and Without Their Lips Overlined

​In case you've been living under a rock where Kylie Jenner and Snooki's Instagram is inaccessible, overlining your lips is when you use your lip liner to trace the perimeter of your lip shape, creating a larger look. Here's what seven editors looked like after outlining their lips and how they felt about their new pumped up pouts.

​"I'd definitely do it again, maybe not for work, but for a night out instead. It's more work to touch up though, but overall I'm into it!​" —  Sam

"It was more makeup than I ever wear, so I was a little freaked out after looking in the mirror. When I walked back to my desk though, everyone was like "that looks amazing!" Then, I walked past a random person who was like, "I love your lips!" Not that I need approval from others, but it made me think maybe I should start doing this more often. — Danielle 

"I think I look terrifying! Also, I guess I touch my face a lot because I kept accidentally picking up color from my lips onto my fingers, and now my keyboard has a few red smudges. I will not be attempting this again.​" — Prachi

"I am obsessed with my overlined lips. I basically never wear lipstick to work. If I do wear anything, it's normally a boring, neutral color. The color I tried for this is super dark, which I was really nervous about, but it actually made me feel like a mix between Rihanna and a cool vampire . Also, my boss complimented my new look, which was pretty awesome. I will definitely do it again!" — Caitlin

"I was pumped to supersize my lips as I've always wished mine were a littleeee bit bigger. After seeing the huge orange-y things painted on though I was a little alarmed: Not sure if it was the color or the size, but I felt like I was looking at another human in the mirror. Not for me! Little lips it is.​" Tess

"I don't know how women stand this stuff. I couldn't move my mouth the same way and I couldn't really feel my lips — it was like they were disabled. And having stuff AROUND my lips instead of just ON them made me feel like my face was dirty. At least I ended up appreciating my own lips more once it was over. ​" — Charles

"My first reaction was, 'Omg, it's so bright and my lips look INSANE.' I don't usually do bright colors, so the hot pink shade was really out of my element. But I like trying new stuff, so I thought why not? It's a really pretty color, and I would definitely try wearing the shade again, especially since everyone kept complimenting me. But, I don't think the over lining is for me. I'll stick to my regular sized lips​." — Mylan
