Tips to Make Your Lips Fuller

Many women are born with naturally fuller, pouter lips but some are not fortunate with it. Some often look for ways to plump up their pouts as lips can make a huge difference on how you look. The following are some simple makeup secrets that you can do to create the illusion of fullness:

1. Highlight the shape of your lips. The top area of your lips, the part located below you nose is infamously called the “cupid’s bow”. Using a white lip or eyeliner pencil, or a highlighting shade of powder eyeshadow or blush, blend lightly with your finger tips. This will give a nice highlight on your pout.

2. When applying a lip shade, for example when you are using a shade of pink, apply on your lips. Then with a darker shade of pink, apply a bit on the center and blend well. This gives an illusion of juicier lips.

3. Lip gloss is your best friend. The light-reflecting properties will make the human eye focus on your lips, as it defines the shape of your lips. You can also use a neutral brown shade of a lip liner just to trace the outside of your natural lip line. This will give your lips depth when you apply your lipstick.

4. Depending upon on your skin complexion, apply a small bit of either taupe or dark brown eye pencil just below the center of your lower lip line and blend it well with a clean smudge brush. This will help to create a shadow which will help to highlight the new shape of your lips.
