Cupid’s Bow Definition

I do like my lips because they’re pretty full but nonetheless I wear almost every day lip liner to define them more, since my Cupid’s bow isn’t that pigmented naturally and they look a lot better with a touch of gloss and lip liner.
Regarding the color, I feel that my skin complexion is on the warmer side, so I would like to get a color that isn’t too pink because I feel that it wouldn’t match.

The procedure (although I have herpes!)

2 days before my appointment I got a small cold sore on the corner of my mouth and asked the technician if I should cancel my appointment.
She told that I could do the lip blushing nonetheless because my Herpes was very small and on the corner of my mouth. She also said that I should go to my doctors office to get a prescription medicine called “Aciclovir”.
My doctor told me to take the medicine 10 days, 2 x per day.
When I arrived at my technicians studio, she cleaned my skin, outlined my lips with a white pen and then we choose a color.
She only showed me 4 color… I thought it was a small range of selection but I liked them all except for a very pinkish color.
I chose a warm tone…
The procedure was painful but bearable. The technician did 2 layers of colors and it took around 1 hour.
I didn’t tell my boyfriend that I was going to have this procedure done but since they were so swollen I couldn’t hide it and had to tell him. He was pretty pissed and annoyed haha.

For the first 3 days I hated how my lips looked because they looked overlined, matte and unnatural…
One week after the procedure they look totally different! I love how natural they look and that the color fits my skin tone… I also like that they look more defined than before.
I don’t know why but my lips didn’t peel/got chapped that much. The healing process was no big deal. I used mainly Aquaphor to keep them moisturized and drank through a straw to avoid water on them.

What happened to your upper lip in the photo with the green highlight? That looks scary

How are your lips now? Color? Any side effects?
