Most of us are not in a fairytale relationship with ourselves. If given a choice, we all want to be a little this or a little that. It is always better to be at peace with yourself and realize the difference between things you can – and shouldn’t bother to change and well there are always a few nifty tricks to play around a little bit. Today we will talk about how to Plump up your pucker or tone down a fuller pout.
Faking a Fuller Pout
– Flaky, scaly lips reflect less light, meaning they will look smaller and dull. An instant way to make your lips appear a little pouty is to scrub your lips daily with your toothbrush.This removes flakes and boosts circulation, too, promoting a rosier hue sans makeup. Also don’t forget to moisturize your way to a perky, plump pout
– Avoid dark lip colors. Deeper hues will flatten the appearance of your mouth, instead of making it look fuller.
– Line and fill in your lips with nude lip liner before applying any lipsticks. Creating one, uniform base not only ensures better results with lip color, it also creates a slightly bigger base for your lipstick.
– Use Gloss or glossy lipsticks and avoid matte lipsticks because gloss makes lips look plumper by reflecting light. Nude glossy lipsticks will be your best bet.
– Use Special Makeup Effects. Apply the lip gloss or lipstick on the entire lips, then use a light shimmery gloss in the middle of your pucker, this creates a kiss of sneaky dimension and a fuller pout.
– Another trick is to line just along the outer ridge of your lips with your lip liner. Do this so subtly that you can’t even tell you cheated your way into an overdrawn plumper looking pout. The liner should be the same shade as your lips.
– cupids bow: Apply a bit of highlighter on your cupid’s bow, it will reflect light and make your upper lip look fuller.
-Search out for lip products that boast mint as one of the active ingredients. A natural pout-enhancer, this herb revs up blood flow too. There are some glosses and lipsticks also available that plumps up thy pout temporarily, Check them out.
Tone Down Fuller Lips
– first, block out your natural lip color and hide the natural outline of your lips with a flesh-toned concealer. It should be a long stay, high coverage concealer with color exactly matching your skin tone. Dab it around the periphery of your mouth, blend well and set with powder.
– Next, draw slightly over your natural lip line with a deeper lip lining pencil staying inside your natural lip line, follow the curve of your mouth and blend slightly inward for under-drawn lips.If you want a sure-fire way to plump your lips, injections
– Avoid lip glosses & glossy finish lipsticks because these create visual fullness instead go for matte lipsticks or lip stains. Play with dark matte lip colors like berry and deep red as they tend to make your lips appear thinner.
– To make your mouth look wider hence making your lips look thinner, highlight the outer corners of your mouth with a highlighter or a concealer that is a couple of shades lighter than your skin tone. Do not highlight the cupid’s bow, as this makes your lips look more fuller.
