How to Plump Up Lips

How To: Plump Up Lips

This is a biggie for girls with thin lips, but you can still get a plumper pair of kissies with some simple steps!

You will need: lip balm, lipliner, lipstick and lipgloss.

Start out by applying a lip balm.

Then, if you want your lips to appear more pouty, use a lipliner the same color as your lips to accentuate your "cupid's bow."

Avoid taking the lipliner way into the corners or making a definite line.

Smudge out the line afterwards for a more natural effect.

Blot on your lipstick with your finger, starting at the center and pushing outwards.

Avoid making definite lines (like Miss Lohan, who also forgot to re-apply lipstick after eating it up??? check her out below!)—this helps to make the lips look fuller and not drawn on.

Using a shade that has a slight iridescence and letting it creep up to the crest of the lip can give the illusion of a fuller mouth. But this requires a very light touch.

Another nice trick is to use a tinted lip balm or light gloss, just in the center of your lips.
