She uses ratio-based overlining: applying lip stain in the center to raise the top lip, overlining upward curves rather than a straight outline, then carving edges with foundation and filling in with lip liner for a natural fuller shape.
She suggests making a 'kiss face' to find the cheek hollows and apply contour there, add contour along the jawline corner, and blend with blush on the cheeks and forehead to simulate sharper facial structure.
Outline shadows along both sides of the nose and under the tip, add a thin line above the tip, then highlight the tip and bridge to create the illusion of a smaller, turned-up nose.

"There is actually a scientific ratio to beauty, and this is what you should be focusing on when you line your lips."
Amber explains her approach to enhancing her lips without traditional filler. She focuses on overlining to change the shape and appearance of her lips significantly.
Instead of standard overlining, she recommends creating a natural-looking ratio by applying lip stain in the center to raise the top lip height, giving it a fuller look.
She advises against common overlining mistakes, suggesting a method that enhances the curves of the lips for a more pleasing aesthetic.
After application, she refines the shape using a foundation brush to create a precise and clean look, demonstrating the transformative power of strategic makeup techniques.
