Feeling confident comes with a healthy dose of self-love and care. Lips therefore only need a little attention and care to make them look fuller, not fillers. Below we bring you tips on how to pay attention to them and how to apply makeup for naturally larger lips.
Social standards of beauty are constantly changing. So, for example, in the last few decades, the ideal of beauty has become juicy and full lips. How to reach them? With fillers? Maybe, but what if it wasn't our first choice? We prefer to pay attention to the lips as they deserve and try to achieve bigger and fuller lips in a natural way.
Exfoliation for better circulation
Dry, pale and wrinkled lips are not a good base for lipstick. Exfoliation will remove all dry and dead skin cells. In addition, it will stimulate their circulation, which will naturally fill all the cracks. Exfoliation will also give your lips a natural pink color.
Moisturizing is most important
Instead of scrubbing your lips with an exfoliant every few days, be sure to nourish them with a rich lip balm. Of course, don't forget to drink plenty of water. Adding the necessary electrolytes to the water, at least once a day, is also very important. If you drink pure water, sometimes this is not enough, because the lips need other ingredients for a beautiful and healthy appearance.
Concealer for better foundation
Applying a small amount of concealer on the lips before applying lipstick, from the center outwards, will create the illusion of larger lips. This trick works best with matte or velvety lipstick shades, but not with high-shine ones. The texture of such lipsticks is too moist. You can also apply the lip liner with a thin brush after applying your color. This will straighten the line and achieve more defined lips.
Strategic application of lip liner
The best friend of full lips is definitely a lip pencil. Not only does it help keep the lipstick within the lines, but it's also an opportunity for some creativity as you can define the lip line wherever you want. In any case, subtlety is key here – if you stray too far from the lip line, they won't look natural or attractive. You can make a big difference with the pencil just by moving a little outside the lip line in the middle and then moving closer to your natural line in the outer corners. This little trick can make a big difference in the final look.
A dose of lip gloss
Just as exfoliation smoothes your lips, gloss makes them look fuller and bigger. But if you're not too keen on the gloss, try just applying it to the center of your lips to act as an illuminator.
Subtle contour for larger lips
A little bronzer on the underside of the lower lip, exactly where the natural shadow appears, can also contribute to fuller lips. Use an eyeshadow brush to create a thin line just above this point under the lower lip to emphasize the shadow and make the lips appear fuller.
Stimulating lip balm
If you prefer a completely natural look and want to emphasize your lips without lipsticks and lip pencils, look for stimulating or "plumping" ingredients in a lip balm or oil that speed up circulation. Mint and cinnamon are excellent stimulants, so good you can even feel them. Look for products that already have them in the formula, or simply add a drop of essential oil to your favorite conditioner. If you are afraid of how your skin might react, first test on a small area of skin on your hand.
