Do you envy the voluminous pouts of Angelina Jolie, Scarlett Johansson and Kylie Jenner but unfortunately not genetically blessed with the one?
To get the look of their extremely desirable full, luscious lips is the dream of almost every women but not everybody wants to undergo any scary medical procedures as these expensive surgeries come with their own complications.
Well, I would say there is no need to go under the knife to make your lips rival Angelina Jolie’s provided you know all the tricks of the trade. Wondering how?
Here I am going to disclose all the tips and tricks on how to make your pout look plumper which will change your looks in no time.
EXFOLIATE
Hydrate your lips with a little bit of lip balm or Vaseline, it will loosen up any dead or dry skin. Keep it on for 5 minutes. Now with the help of a toothbrush, gently scrub the dead skin off your lips in a circular motion. This will boost blood circulation also apart from removing the flakes and chapping.
The skin of your lips is very sensitive. So don’t apply too much pressure while exfoliating and use a toothbrush with soft bristles. All this will make your lips soft and allow lipstick to go on smoother.
MOISTURIZE
Rehydrate the sensitive skin you have just exposed by putting on your favourite lip balm.
NATURAL PLUMPER
Take a half teaspoon of cinnamon powder and a scoop of vaseline, and blend it. Apply this mixture on the surface of your lips and gently massage with your fingers for at least 40-50 seconds.
This will give you a mild burning sensation which fades away pretty quickly. You can now wipe it off with tissue paper and VOILA your Plump and Luscious lips are ready to get painted with Lip Color.
DEFINE YOUR LIPS WITH LINER
Always start with a lip liner first before applying lipstick to give your lips a neatly defined edge. Use a lip pencil that is one shade darker than your natural lip colour but one shade lighter than the lipstick you are using. Be sure to line outside of your natural lip line for a pouty look. Fill in your entire lip with a lip liner to create a long-lasting base that will help your lipstick to stick for a long time.

HIGHLIGHTING
Apply highlighter to the cupid’s bow ( center of the top lip ) of your lips. By highlighting, the top lips are pushed forward hence creating an illusion that your lips are a lot bigger. A little dab of shimmering balm or powder should be applied to the center of your bottom lip. This will give your pout an enviable fullness.
So now you are all set to make a pout for a selfie !!
ADVICE
- Avoid dark lip colours as they flatten the appearance of your mouth instead of making it look fuller.
- To clean the mistakes, use concealer or foundation and clean the outside of your lips to make the lines sharper.
- Don’t apply cinnamon right after exfoliation as it leads to an unbearable burning sensation so it’s better to wait for at least 15-20 minutes.
