The Kardashians love to plum up their pouts and when fillers aren't involved, makeup can prove just as powerful. The original beauty queen, Kim Kardashian has modelled her 'perfect nude lip' look in a video for her website as demonstrated by her makeup artist, Mario Dedivanovic.

Firstly, lip liner: Mario says, "Start at the very outer corner and bring it to the centre of the lip". Do this bottom and top so they meet up in the middle and then "attach the two sides". So if you were beginning at your cupid's bow reverse it.

Secondly, foundation: What does foundation have to do with lips? "If you want to get a really perfect lip line, use a little bit of foundation or concealer and draw a line right underneath the lips to really perfect that line," Mario reveals. "This also adds a lifting effect to the face and the lips." We're not sure how it lifts the face, but we're keen to prove him right!

Thirdly, highlighter: This is where the illusion of fullness really comes in. "A great tip if you want to get a more pouty lip is to put a little bit of highlighter right on the cupid's bow. That's going to really lift up and make the lips look pouty," Mario instructs. Who needs needles?
