Full, plump lips are something so many women would love to have, but they haven’t the slightest idea how this could be possible without spending untold amounts of money and suffering through painful injections. There is another way to attain gorgeous, full looking lips rather than opting for going under the needle. Lionesse is going to show you a few different ways today to help you have fuller looking lips you can be proud to show off by use of makeup alone. Think it’s impossible? Read this article from Lionesse to learn how you can get the look yourself in the comfort of your own home.

Lip Gloss
After your lipstick application as per usual, apply a dot of lip gloss in the center of your bottom lip to give depth and dimension to your lips, and the appearance that your lips are fuller and plumper. This trick works and literally only takes 5 seconds.

Lip Liner
Use a lip liner in the same shade as the lipstick you are going to be using, or lighter to match your natural lip color. If you are using a lip liner that matches your lip color, you can safely draw and line the lips outside of the actual lip itself. If you are going to be using a lip liner that matches your lipstick hue, be sure to stay inside the lines of your lip to not give yourself that overdone lip look.

Choose Rich Colors
Rich colors have a way of adding depth and vivacity to your lips. By choosing rich, deep colors, you will give your lips a much-needed pop, causing them to appear fuller.

Beige Eyeshadow
Before applying your lipstick, line your top lip with a beige eyeshadow and thin brush. This will help to give your top lip some proportion to the bottom lip, as most women tend to have a fuller bottom lip than they do on top. After lining the outer edge of the lip, you can apply your lipstick.

Lip Treatments
Using a lip treatment that contains ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin A and E, and Vitamin C will help to plump up your pout naturally, and can sometimes work just as well as going in for invasive injections and other procedures. Try to use a lip treatment three times per day until you achieve your desired lip effect.

Moisturize Lips Often
When you are trying to achieve a fuller lip with cosmetics, you will want to ensure your lips are well moisturized. When you have well-moisturized lips, they will naturally appear fuller. When your lips are dry and cracked, and parched, they will come off as shriveled and small. Be sure to use a good hydrating lip balm before you apply your lip color and lip liner to give yourself an added boost.

Use a Lip Scrub
Lip scrubs are perfect for getting an exfoliated lip, which in turn removes the dead, dry lip skin and stimulates a significant amount of blood flowing throughout the lips, giving them the appearance of a fuller, more beautiful pout.
