Many women kid themselves into thinking that thin lips are a curse. Sure, all the magazines rant and rave about how full lips are the best lips. And, well, maybe they are, but that doesn’t mean thin-lipped women are left in the dust. Here are a few tips that will help every woman rock fuller lips if she so desires.
1. Exfoliate
The first step to fuller lips is exfoliation. Using a soft bristled brush will do the trick – it should take all the excess flakes and skin right off. Doing this before any lip treatment is the best way to prep the lips for a lush, silkier appearance.
2. Lip Liner
Liner is the way to go. Drawing a defining line on the outer edge of the lip makes them stand out from the rest of the face. Choose a color that is just a little bit darker than the lip color of choice. Doing so will make the lips appear plump and enviable.
3. Lip Plumping
Using a lipgloss that has lip pump in it will work wonders. It will add subtle shape and volume without the obviously fake form. This doesn’t require liner or lipstick – just grab and go!
4. Use Warm Shades
The darker the color, the smaller the lip will look. However, warmer hues, such as oranges and deep reds, will actually make the lip appear bigger! A fuller lip is just a shade away.
