When you hear the names Angelina Jolie and Kylie Jenner, chances are the first thing you think about are their lips. A full pout can be yours too, and no, you won’t need injections!
With these makeup tips, you’ll be just as savvy as the pros. There are many different tricks to make your lips look full, so do a little bit of experimentation to find the one that works best for you. You’re already one step close to plumper, more kissable lips!
1. Overdraw your lip line
Over-line your lips for a naturally fuller look. Nobody has to know you cheated the corners!
2. Apply peachy pinks on nude
The key to faking fuller lips lies in pairing products carefully. This tutorial uses peachy pinks that border on nude because pale shades automatically make lips look a bit more plump (the exact opposite of dark shades). You’ll need four products to create this look, and the lip liner will be the darkest of the four. See the before and after in the image below. Get the full tutorial here.
3. Highlight your lips
Use white highlighter in the center of your lips, being sure not to forget outlining your cupid’s bow. When light hits these spots, they will make your mouth appear fuller.
4. X marks the spot
Another tip for fuller lips is to make an “x” with lip liner on your top lip.
5. Go with a natural shade
Darker colors can make your lips appear smaller, so stick with a neutral shade for the best results. And be sure to define the outer edge of your lips.
6. Know how to use liner to your advantage
Contour your lips for a noticeably fuller pout.
7. Gloss it up
A little lip gloss can go a long way! Apply some shimmery gloss to the center of your lips and smush them together for utterly kissable lips that reflect the light and make them appear larger.
8. Conceal around your lips
Prevent your lip color from bleeding and defines the outline of your lips more precisely.
