The lip combo responsible for Anna Paul's plush pout
Anna Paul is the owner of a very plush set of lips, but not one to gatekeep, she isn't shy about taking her fans along to her cosmetic enhancement appointments. Plus, she's just revealed her favourite lip combo, and the lip lining technique she uses to make her pout look even more impressive.
Paul is a lover of spontaneous holidays, and this week she decided to spend a few days in Tokyo with her family. She documented the journey on TikTok, starting at the airport of course, and naturally she got side tracked by all the makeup in duty-free section. Hey, she's only human.

"I bought myself some makeup at the airport, because I will get hoodwinked by any advertising," she joked. "I'll walk past makeup, and I'm like 'oh my God, wait, what if I need a new lip liner?' So that's exactly what I did. I got mascara and everything and did my makeup right there in the middle of the airport. I do not care about stuff like that."
"So I did my makeup, got on the flight, got my little subway sandwich, and then I had a nap straight away. I had like a print on my face from my glasses — that I don't need by the way. They're just blue light, but I think they're a cute little accessory," she explained.
"Then I remembered I tricked myself into buying a lip liner at the airport, and so, you know what? I'm going to show you how I do my lips," she told her followers, pulling out a fresh M.A.C Cosmetics Lip Pencil in 'Spice' ($40 from M.A.C Cosmetics).
"I do the outside only and the corners," Paul explained as she carefully lined her lip line. "Do you see how I'm only doing the corners and I leave the middle light?".
"Then you put on like a nice gloss and that makes the lips look really plump and pouty, because the middle is light and the corners are dark," she went on to say whilst she dabbed the Mango Lip Balm from her skin care brand Paullie ($15 from Paullie) in the centre of her lips. "Trust me it's a hack. I do it every time. It looks so good. Everyone always asks me how I do my lips and that's how I do them."

Whilst Anna Paul likes to keep her lip combo simple, Sabrina Carpenter likes hers expensive. Here are 6 dupes for Sabrina Carpenter's favourite $72 lipstick.
Briar Clark got her start in the media industry in 2017, as an intern for Marie Claire and InStyle. Since then, her keen interest in fashion and beauty has landed her gigs as a Digital Content Producer and Beauty Editor with titles like Girlfriend, Refinery29, BEAUTYcrew and beautyheaven. She loves the way seemingly innocuous topics like skin care and style have the ability to put a smile on people’s faces or make them think about themselves a little differently. A big believer in self love and experimentation, Briar has made a point of becoming the Australian beauty industry’s unofficial guinea pig for unusual treatments and daring hair trends. When she’s not testing out the latest beauty launches, Briar is big on broadening her horizons, mostly in the form of food but she’s also partial to travelling to new destinations both near and far (and of course, allocating an extra bag to bring their best beauty offerings home with her).
