Plump Lips Naturally!

 Plump and perky lips are very sexy and also very lively and young looking! What girl doesn't want to look sexy, lively, and young? So follow a few of these little steps to get naturally plump lips without surgery and without  a ton of lip makeup.



Rosie is known for her naturally vuluptuous- bee stung- humungous lips! Picture from Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's new Alexandre Rezende 2012 photoshoot (I'll post some more after this post, I made sure to get more when I heard of a new photoshoot <.<).

1. Let's start with the shape of your lips in general. We are not all born with plump, round lips, but we can change that! Just do some yoga! No, not twisting your body into weird positions, but concentrating the lip muscles on your face! All you need to do is smile tightly and then purse your lips on a 2-count and hold the pursed position for 30 seconds and repeat for 10-reps. Sounds like strength training for your face, ha.Honestly, you'll feel the burn!!!

2. Next, let's talk about texture. If your lips are all peeling and dried out they are not going to look lively, young, nor plump so you want to avoid deserted island lips. To do this after you brush your teeth take your tooth brush and gently brush your lips for 20 seconds. This will exfoliate all dead skin off of the sensitive surface of your lips. After this apply a lip balm. Apply lip balm whenever your not wearing lip makeup!

3. Lastly, let's talk about making lips appear bigger without surgery and a ton of makeup. Lip liner is essential when your trying to achieve plumper looking lips. Do not line thickly or all around lips. Instead, line the cupid's bow and the bumps on each side and underneath your bottom lip. Another thing that you should definitely have on hand is a really good lip plumper. A lot of drug store products claim to have a plumping effect, but that's not true, they only usually use a thick shine to imitate plumper lips. A more pricey alternative is needed even though it's less convenient.

If you're looking for a cheaper lip plumper if your not willing to pay $30 for a tube of the stuff, then I highly recommend Victoria's Secret Very Voluptuous Bare Lip Plumper for $18. I just bought a tube and it really does work.  It contains Collagens that instantly plump lips (actually irritating them, but it works) plus adding a natural shine and self adjusting rosy tint.

Facts to know about lip plumpers: 
1. Cheap ones don't work
2. Some can dry out lips so look for ingredients that dry out lips easily
3. They sting and tingle and all that, so you may not like it very much
4. You need to apply them more than once a day to have a lasting effect
5. Even if they claim to make lips plumper, they may not always be telling the truth
