If you wish to have fuller-looking lips, medical procedures and lip contraptions are not a must-have. Instead, why not go down a path of non-invasive methods as well as using natural alternatives that will not only have your lips looking plumper but healthier too?
Cinna-Me-Some
This spice isn’t just your go-to baking or cooking necessity, it works wonders on your lips too. As cinnamon is known to be a natural irritant, add a mixture of the spice with olive oil and apply them on your lips. The paste will leave your lips feeling tender, soft and full.
Base Coat
Just like how you apply a base coat before applying a top coat for your nails, do the same for your lips and it will work wonders. Lip balms add a hydrating look and you will be surprised by how plumper your lips will look after. Tip: choose lip balms that are infused with essential oils such as peppermint which is a natural circulation-enhancer, bringing more blood flow to your lips.
Ice, Ice Baby
If you are squeezed for time, this method delivers instant results. The trick? Massage an ice cube on your lips for two minutes. This temporary method will compress your blood vessels to make them look red and plump. But, make sure you use clean ice!
Line it Out
Quite possibly the oldest trick in the book, use a lip liner for your lips. Slightly over-line it and it will give you larger-looking lips. Stick to a natural skin tone to make it pop.
Sugary Treat
Exfoliating your lips with coconut oil and sugar will increase blood flow to your lips, leaving you with a touch of volume and rosy colour. Tip: mix sugar and coconut oil in an airtight small container and keep it at the bathroom sink!
Jazzy Highlight
Applying makeup highlighter above the cupid’s bow of your lips and down the centre of your lower lip will reflect light giving the illusion of larger lips.
Layer It
We assure you that even beginners can do this because we will explain in steps! First, colour in your lips with lipstick, then grab a white liner and draw a line down the middle of your lips, tapping and blending the line into the lipstick until it’s bare noticeable. The line creates a hint of subtle dimension that automatically makes your lips look fuller. Ta-da!
Shine that Light
Vampy colours are a big no-no if you want big lips as dark colours often flatten the appearance of your mouth. Choose nudes or pale pinks for a bigger pout.
Dab Honey
Just a dab of honey will make your lips super moisturised. Hydrating your lips is key to make them naturally fuller.
Smooth Lips
Use light to make your lips fuller and this is how you do it. Take a toothbrush and dunk it in water. Gently buff your lips in concentric circles as small and circular motions will help boost circulation, giving your lips a rosy hue. But, how does light play a part? The smoother your lips, the more light they can reflect.
Go Nude
No, we do not mean taking your clothes off. Instead, use two different nude lip colours. Apply one shade all over your mouth and the lighter colour or even a white lip crayon in the middle of your lips. If you have a full top lip but a smaller bottom lip or vise versa, only apply the lighter shade to the opposite lip. It will even your lips out and make them both look fuller. After applying lipstick, line the outside of your lips with concealer. Use a skinny brush and some cover-up to line the outside of your lips.
