How to Make Your Lips Plumper

For many women, their lips are a source of disappointment.
With all of the ads in magazines and on TV using models
that have full, sexy lips, those of us with thin lips feel
that we have somehow got shortchanged. Not anymore! You can fool the eye with these little tricks to make your lips
appear plumper and fuller with cosmetics. They'll look
luscious, shiny, and very kissable.

Keep Them Conditioned

Prevent dry, cracked lips with lip balm. Use lip balm with
SPF when you are out in the daylight hours and before you
go to bed at night to keep them in tip-top shape.

Prepare Your Base

For best results, start by applying foundation on your
lips when you are putting on your make up. Set it with
translucent loose or pressed powder. This will make a good
base.

Make Your Lips Larger

Outline your lips with a lip liner that is closest to the
color of your lips. Use the liner just beyond your lip
line, increasing the size a little. Add some balance,
shape and curves to the upper and lower lip if desired.

Fill Them In

Fill in your lips with a metallic lipstick (try Maybelline's Wet Shine) using a brush, including the area you extended with the lip liner.

Use Lip Gloss

Add a finishing touch with lip gloss. The gloss will add
depth and give the appearance of plumper, fatter lips. Take
it along in your purse for quick touch-ups.

Extra Kissable Lips

For a poufy pout, apply a glob of petroleum jelly onto lips
and gently rub in with a soft toothbrush. Follow up with
lip balm.
