A step-by-step guide to getting fuller and bigger lips
Want to sport the perfect Kylie Jenner pout without expensive treatments or fillers? While she has admitted to using artificial methods, Jenner also swears by some makeup tricks. Even you can achieve plump and fuller-looking lips easily at home. All you need are a couple of makeup products and a bit of technique. Here's how to get bigger and plumper lips.
Prep your lips
Exfoliate your lips to rub-off dead skin. This step smoothens your lips and as you rub the scrub all over, blood circulation improves, adding a bright color and plumping up the lips. Next, moisturize with a good lip balm to create a nice and soft canvas for the rest of the process. This step also adds a nice shine to the lips.
Start lining your lips
Overlining your lips correctly is the most important step here. Kylie Jenner swore by this trick before she got her lip surgeries done. Choose a shade closest to your natural lip color. Now start lining from the outer corners inward, while sticking to your natural lip line. Now comes the part where you need to overline and one that will make the most difference.
Stick to the middle part of the lips when overlining
When you reach the middle of your lower lip, line outside your natural lip line. You need to stick to the natural shape while moving down, depending on how big you want your lips to look. Do the same thing on the upper lip, while only overlining the cupid's bow. Now fill your lips with the lip liner to create a natural base.
Go with a matte lipstick
Now go in with your lipstick, but make sure to choose a matte shade. Matte colors automatically add a slight pout to the lips and give a fuller effect. Cover the lips well, while going over the lip liner. Now is the time to use another trick to add a natural pout to your lips and make them look bigger and beautiful.
Highlight and contour your lips
Dab a little bit of highlighter or a lighter concealer on top of your cupid's bow. This will make your lips pop out and make them look fuller. Now apply a contour shade under the bottom lip line carefully using a small flat brush. This contouring and highlighting step is important to give you a natural pout to die for.
Add some lip gloss
The final step is to apply a lip gloss. The shine of a lip gloss reflects light, giving the illusion of naturally plumper lips. Start with a lip gloss matching your lip color and cover the entire lip area, both up and down. Now pick a clear gloss and dab some only in the center parts. Voila! Pout away and click some lovely selfies.
