Lip volume cosmetics

Today, there are a large number of different types of cosmetics that can make lips more voluminous. All types of cosmetics with a similar effect are divided into 3 types: giving a visual effect, the effect of a rush of blood to the lips, and also created on hyaluronic acid. Below are the most common ones.

Pomade

Lipsticks that increase lip volume are quite popular. The effect of lipstick lasts about 6-8 hours. By its structure, the lipstick often dries, so it must be applied again after some time so that the lips look voluminous. It’s best to take a lipstick that contains collagen or silicone. Lipstick will make lips visually larger if it is light or pearlescent.

Shine

Along with lipsticks, gloss is quite popular. Glitter with glitters or gloss with a stimulating effect are best suited. The composition of such shines most often includes menthol, chili pepper, ginger, etc.

Balm

Balm is one of the varieties of hygienic lipstick.

It not only provides protection and hydration of the lips, but also has an effect that can increase the volume of the lips, thanks to some components that can provoke increased blood circulation in the lips, and therefore increase their volume.

Lip polish

Lipstick combines the properties of lipstick and gloss: the presence of bright colors and shades in combination with a reflective effect. Lipsticks moisturize, smoothing out all wrinkles, and also increase lips in volume, thanks to special components in their composition.

Volume cream

The main component of the cream, as in other products that allow you to increase the volume of the lips, is hyaluronic acid. The use of such a cream does not give an immediate result. It must be used daily for a long time. Sometimes a cream can cause an allergic reaction due to the ext
ract of medicinal plants included in it.

3D Makeup Technique

3D-make-up is a special type of make-up, in which with the help of cosmetics you can change facial features, as well as emphasize the advantages and hide flaws. Before makeup, you need to prepare your lips, namely to clean them from dead skin particles with a scrub, and then apply a moisturizer. You can enlarge your lips in several ways. Below are some of them.

Make up lips with a pencil

First you need to tint the skin, so the tone of the foundation should match as much as possible, and it is better to completely merge with the natural skin tone. Then lighten it using highlighter, light shadows or a white pencil, drawing a line directly along the contour of the lips. Then draw the border of the lips with a pencil.

The tone of the pencil must be selected either by skin tone or by the natural color of the lips. After you need to apply lipstick, preferably light tones. To fix the color and remove excess, the lipstick must be blotted with a napkin and additionally apply gloss on the central and most voluminous part.

If you have a certain skill, you can draw a highlight with a lighter tone of lipstick. Instead of shine, experts recommend lip gel, as it is more resistant in structure.

Enlarge the upper lip

Makeup artists recommend increasing the size of the upper lip, and for the lower limit the correction of shape. However, it should be borne in mind that when the proportion of the upper lip is changed in the direction of increase, visually the nose will seem larger than it actually is. In order to avoid introducing disharmony into facial features, the contour of the lips is best increased by no more than a couple of inch.

The technique of visual magnification is quite simple. The main thing is moderation and maximum naturalness. First, a concealer is applied to the lip itself and along the contour around it.

To increase the volume of the lips, the contour is drawn along the natural border, for a visual increase in size – above. To add naturalness, the contour pencil is shaded to the center of the lips. And only after that lipstick and shine are applied.

Enlarge the lower lip

As stated above, the lower lip is shaped. Due to the increase in the lower lip, the chin becomes visually smaller. If necessary, visually, you can also increase the size of the lower lip. Technically, the same methods and means are used as for the correction of the upper lip.

Contraindications to the procedure

Of course, lip augmentation at home is a rather profitable and not expensive procedure, but you should be careful. Since some ingredients can cause an allergic reaction and irritation, therefore, folk remedies are not always reliable.

Since the body is individual, not everyone can use certain folk remedies or some cosmetics. Because in cosmetics there are various components that can cause an allergic reaction.

Expert Advice

Experts recommend not to rush with operations. Women can do lip augmentation surgery after 30 years, when due to lack of collagen there is a need to correct the shape and increase the elasticity of the lips. From home remedies, due to the absence of contraindications, exercises and makeup are preferable.

Folk remedies are a rather delicate topic, since everything depends on the body. Often, allergic reactions, irritation, and more may appear.

In terms of cosmetics, caution is also needed. Cosmetics may contain various substances that are contraindicated for some people due to the presence of chronic diseases, for example.

Therefore, before trying to enlarge the lips at home, it is advisable to show responsibility and approach the matter seriously. It is best to familiarize yourself with all the ways to increase and choose the most suitable and safest option that will not harm the body.
