Things You'll Need:
- Light colored lipstick
- White lip pencil makeup
- Darker lip pencil makeup
- Mirror
- Lip balm
-
Step 1
The first step to those gorgeous plump lips you crave is with a good lip balm. You can even use Vaseline instead of lip balm if you like. Lip balm with moisturizers and vitamin E will help to keep your new plump lips gorgeous and healthy. Apply a generous amount of lip balm to the upper and lower lips. Allow lip balm to soak into your lips for a minimum of five minutes to help with absorbing and apply lip makeup.
-
Step 2
Select a lip pencil that is two shades darker than the lipstick makeup for your lips. Make a dark outline of your lips with the pencil. If you mess up, remove the lip pencil makeup and begin again. Wavy or uneven lines will ruin the effect of plump lips.
-
Step 3
Fill in your lips with a lipstick that is two shades lighter than your lip pencil you used in step two for plump lips.
-
Step 4
In the center of both the upper and lower lips apply a small circle of white or off-white lip pencil. Smooth the dot in and blend into the lipstick.
-
Step 5
Finish off your lip makeup with a high gloss to give you the full effect of instant plump lips.
