That's when I had my a-ha moment. If dark colors make lips looks smaller, then light colors were bound to make my lips look bigger. No wonder Kylie's always rocking a nude lip. And lucky for me, nude lip colors are one of my favorite lip trends right now, so I had no problem trading in my black pucker for a more natural-looking kiss face.

To get Jenner's nude lip look, I used Lime Crime Velvetines Liquid Matte Lipstick in Cashmere. Its velvety formula glided with ease over my lips, and dried to a supermatte, budge-proof finish. The lipstick itself was amazing, but did it make me look just as amazing as Kylie?

After over lining the absolute sh*t out of my lips, I noticed the look did, in fact, make my pout more luscious, but still not the size I was hoping to achieve. Was I ever going to get it right?

At this point, I was crazily obsessed with making my lips look as big as Jenner's. I had even resorted to taking duck face selfies (yikes) and practicing my fish gape every spare minute I had. I was also superaware of everyone's lip size, and found myself watching lip tutorials almost daily. So mastering her signature ombre lip look -- which gives the illusion of bigger lips -- was last on my list. With Kylie's Insta not too far from reach, I set off in search of the perfect lip color combination.

After rummaging through hundreds of lip shades, I ultimately decided to go with demi-matte lipstick Lancôme L'Absolu Rouge Definition in Le Pourpre and Lancôme Le Lipstique Lip Colouring Stick with Brush in Mauvelle, to create Jenner's sultry red ombre lip. In my mind, the rich colors would make my lips pop, and the two products perfectly complimented each other -- giving me a perfect ombre combination. However, ombre lips have never been my strong suit, so I was definitely going to need to call in some backup.
