How to Make Lips Look Bigger

Plump, voluminous lips are in style and with these natural hints, you can temporarily increase the size of your lips without surgery or the use of lip plumping products. All of these remedies are safe and natural.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Petroleum Jelly
• Olive Oil
• Clean Toothbrush
• Lip liner
• Lipstick or lip gloss (color of choice)
• Clear Shimmer lip gloss

Apply Petroleum Jelly

1. Wash your face and make sure your lips are clean. Pat the lips dry and apply petroleum jelly, making sure that your lips are thoroughly coated. If you prefer, you can substitute olive oil for the petroleum jelly.

2. Take the clean toothbrush and gently brush your lips. The brushing movement increases blood circulation to the lips and increases their size. Be careful not to brush too vigorously, or else your lips might become sore. It is normal to feel a tingling sensation while you brush your lips. You can add more petroleum jelly or oil if you feel that your lips are dry. Brushing your lips with this technique will also remove any dry or chapped skin as well.

3. Apply the lip liner of your choice to the very outer edge of your lips. Be careful not to draw the line on your face but on the edge where your newly plumped lips and the surrounding skin meet.

4. Choose the lipstick or lip gloss color of choice and apply to your lips. By choosing a color that is several shades darker than your lip liner will make your lips look larger as well.

5. Apply a touch of clear shimmer lip gloss on the middle section of your bottom lip for a finishing touch.

Tips & Warnings

• Do not brush your lips if they are chapped, cracked or bleeding. You should only brush your lips once a week. The skin is sensitive and can easily become damaged with rough brushing.
