How to Make Lips Look Fuller

Use a lip liner before applying lip color.

As people age, their lips sometimes get thinner as their bodies produce less collagen. If this is happening to you, reverse the aging process by making your lips look fuller. But making your lips look fuller does not have to involve a trip to the doctor to get injections. Proper skin care and a few makeup tricks can get the same results faster and for less money.

Things You'll Need

• Toothbrush
• Concealer
• Lipstick or lip gloss

Instructions

1. With either a lip scrub or a gentle toothbrush, scrub your lips to remove flakes. This ensures your lips will be nice and smooth prior to putting on color.

2. Apply concealer to your lips. This helps color to adhere to your lips and also helps it to last longer.

3. If you are going to be using a lipstick that is a few shades darker than your natural color, use a lip liner. Draw a line just outside of your natual lip line. Then fill in your lips with the lip color.

   If your lipstick is closer to your natural lip color, just apply it right onto your lips without a liner.

4. Apply lip gloss to give them some shine. Put the gloss at the center of your lips. The reflection will make your lips look fuller.

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.
