How to Make Lips Look Fuller

Makeup is a quick and easy way to brighten the face and add interest. Lip gloss and lipstick are two of the most popular kinds of makeup and can be used to help make your lips look fuller than they actually are.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Toothbrush
• Concealer
• Lipstick or lip gloss

1. Prep Time
   
   To get full lips you must first have a good foundation. With either a lip scrub or a gentle toothbrush, scrub your lips to remove flakes. You should ideally exfoliate your lips once per week. This ensures your lips will be nice and smooth prior to putting on color.

2. Use Concealer
   
   Apply concealer to your lips prior to putting on either your lip gloss or lipstick. This helps color to adhere to your lips and also helps it to last longer.

3. Apply Color
   
   If you are going to be using a lipstick that is a few shades darker than your natural color, consider using a liner to first line your lips. With your lipliner, draw a line just outside of your natual lip line. Because you will be filling in your lips with a darker color, you can do this quite easily.
   
   If your lipstick or lip gloss is closer to your natural lip color, just apply it right onto your lips - no liner necessary!

4. Apply Gloss
   
   If you have used a lipstick for color, be sure to apply a bit of gloss to your lips. Apply a small amount to the center of your bottom lip. Also, consider applying a bit of clear gloss or reflective powder right in the center of your top lips right above where your lips meet your skin. Applying gloss or powder like this will help to reflect light and make your lips look fuller than they are.

Tips & Warnings

• Use a product such as DuWop's Lip Venom or any product containing cinnamon. This helps to increase circulation in your lips, temporarily plumping them.
