How To Get Pouty Lips

Now that all the holiday parties have passed, and everyone is in resting mode, I was able to scroll through pictures and take notice of all the latest makeup trends my friends were wearing to parties. Something I noticed was their plump lips.

Pouty lips are in this season, and they give your face a fuller look, so I decided to look into some of the best cosmetic treatments for plumping your lips. Besides using a great lip liner and a lipstick that enhances your lip features, I wanted a gloss that could readily be reapplied throughout the day on top of lipstick that would give it a nice, little plump.

I tired a couple of my friends’ plumping glosses, but ultimately ended up falling in love with only three of the five that I tried:

Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme is a clear, shiny gloss that includes dehydrated marine sponge to increase the blood flow to your lips, making them look chubby and radiant. It also has Vitamin E, which will keep your lips soft and hydrated. This product out of all three has the most tingle when applied, but the tingle just means it is increasing the volume of your lips.

Smashbox O-Plump Intuitive Lip Plumper is a unique type of gloss because not only does it plump, but it also goes on clear then becomes a natural shade of pink that matches your lip color. This is the perfect gloss to use daily with or without lipstick. It also has a high gloss finish, so your lips will be sticky and shiny from any angle.

It has a tingly sensation that feels good because you know it is working to enhance collagen production in your lips. Your lips are left looking super glossy. Whatever lipstick you might already have on, the color will be enhanced since it is a clear gloss. This product with continued use will also keep your lips looking young and wrinkle free.
