Run long-wear lip liner right outside of your lip line. Color your lips with a shade that's a bit darker than your own lip color. Your lip product should have a bit of shimmer to it, which will make the light reflect off your lips, giving you the appearance of a thicker pout. Run a thin amount of your lip makeup over the lip liner to make the liner blend in and look natural.

Tips & Warnings
Maintain the appearance of your luscious, plump lips with a few tricks of the trade. Whiten your teeth to get a killer smile. Moisturize regularly and exfoliate your kisser by running petroleum jelly over your lips and gently scrubbing with an old toothbrush. Don't forget to drink plenty of water, too, to moisturize from the inside out.
Thicker lips look best in dark, matte colors. If you achieve the plump lips you've always wanted through cosmetic surgery, doll them up with purple, bronze and brown shades. On the other hand, thin lips will look smaller in dark colors, so stick to light, shimmery shades.
Reapply your lip stain, gloss or lipstick after eating to keep your look fresh.
Lips plumpers can cause an allergic reaction. Test out the plumper on a patch of skin before applying it to your lips to ensure that you won't have an allergic reaction.
