Advantages
-
Lip plumper is a product that makes your lips look fuller in appearance. They come in clear or a variety of colors. The more popular types of lip plumpers come in a lip gloss form and can be worn alone to enhance the color of your own lips or over your favorite lipstick. Usually women who have thinner lips will use a lip plumper to give their lips a "pouty" look. Using a lip plumper is a safe alternative to getting collagen shots and also helps diminish fine lines around your lips. Some lip plumpers not only plump your lips but they also offer moisturizing ingredients to make your lips look healthier and more desirable.
Application
-
When using a lip plumper, remember that the effects are only temporary and application of the lip plumper must be applied throughout the day to retain its effects. How you apply lip plumper depends on the brand and type you buy. The most common type of lip plumper comes in a tube with a wand and a fuzzy tip. You apply this directly to your lips with the wand alone on your lips or under or over your lipstick. Other kinds of lip plumpers may come in small pots. They can be applied with your fingertips or a lip brush. There is also the type that comes in a container with a small roller ball at the tip which can be applied directly to your lips.

Ingredients
-
The most common ingredient in lip plumpers is menthol or camphor which helps lips swell by irritating the thin delicate skin. Aside from common ingredients like camphor and gelatin, many companies use ingredients like cinnamon, amino acids (to help stimulate collagen), caffeine and St. John's Wort. Vitamin B6 has also been found to be an ingredient that increases the circulation in your lip area by causing a tingling sensation.
