Sure, you could Google a plastic surgeon, call to schedule a
consultation, drive to the office, pay for someone to inject your lips
with a needle, wait four months and then repeat the process all over
again. Or you could just try one of these seven tricks for plumper lips.
Your call.
EXFOLIATE YOUR LIPS
Since flakes can make your skin appear flat, a quick DIY
scrub works wonders to add volume to your kisser. Besides improving
circulation, scaling off dry skin allows for lips to look shinier and
more saturated.
TRY A LIP-PLUMPING MASK
Our sheet-mask obsession knows no limit, which is why we’re head over
heels for these adorable lip masks. Just peel, place on lips and try
not to answer any phone calls while you wait 15 minutes for the flower
oil, hyaluronic acid (a temporary skin plumper that feels a bit tingly
at first), collagen and bitter cherry extract to smooth, prime and round
out your pout.
USE A LIP OIL
Like a gloss but with nourishing properties (thanks to mirabelle
plum, jojoba, macadamia and hazelnut oils), Clarins Instant Light Lip
Comfort Oil also helps lips appear fuller by filling in dehydrated lines
with moisture and adding shine. It can be used alone, as a lip prep
underneath your favorite lipstick or on top of color.
ROCK A RED LIP
As for colors, nudes and pinks can wash out your pout, while dark
purples and deep browns can draw too much attention to thin lips.
Instead, aim for a cherry red that will bounce light and give the
optical illusion of a fuller mouth.
OVER-LINE YOUR POUT
No matter the lip color, you can always bring out this celebrity
makeup-artist tip. Using a shade of liner similar to your natural
coloring, draw a tiny bit outside of the area around your cupid’s bow
and the middle of your bottom lip. Then, go over and fill in the line
with your lip liner and color. Just avoid over-lining your whole mouth (helloooo, Kardashian territory), and you’ll be able to fake it like a pro.
