Fuller, luscious lips is something every woman wants. After all, it can be the most striking and attractive feature of your face. But achieving plump and defined lips (or rather faking them) isn’t as tricky as you might think. Thanks to the million makeup hacks served up by the beauty buffs, you can make your pout look picture-perfect and fuller.
So, if you envy Kylie Jenner, Priyanka Chopra and the likes for their luscious lips, here’s how you can get them too. Take a look at three genius lipstick hacks to fake a plumper pout.
Hack #1: Conceal
Line your lips and fill in with the same product. Take your concealer or nude pencil and apply it in the centre on your lips. Blend and top it with lip gloss. This will enhance your pout and make it look fuller and plumper.
Hack #2: Contour
Just like your face, contour your lips to make them look more defined and shapely. Mark an X on your cupid’s bow with a lip liner (darker than your lip colour) and draw one vertical line on the centre of your lower lip. Line your lips as usual and fill in. Take a lip colour slightly lighter than the one you just used and dab it on the centre of your lips and blend. Use a bronzer beneath your lower lip and highlighter on the cupid’s bow to finish the look.
Hack #3: Shimmer
Patting some shimmery eyeshadow or powder highlighter on your lips can make a huge difference. The shimmer reflects light, which makes your pout look plumper. Simply line your lips and apply the lipstick of your choice. Then pat some shimmery eyeshadow or highlighter and blend. Top it with lip gloss!
