Tips for Lips

Plump Your Lips
Use a nightly lip rejuvenator: Apply a treatment product made with peptides and hyaluronic acid, ingredients that plump lips and soften lines.

Exfoliate with a washcloth: Before putting on lip color, lightly run a damp washcloth over lips. This increased circulation to boost fullness and provides a smooth canvas for color to adhere to.

Define your lips: Line the outer edge of the lips first, then fill in completely. This creates a barrier that accentuates fullness and reduces lipstick bleeding.

Opt for a soft pink gloss: This universally flattering hue and shiny, moisturizing formula reflect the most light, so lips look bigger. For best results, pick a plumping version, which is made with ingredients derived from menthol that slightly swell lips for a few hours.

TIP: Use a balm with a built-in SPF of at least 30 before putting on gloss and liner; reapply when touching up lip color. UVA rays can degrade collagen, making lips look thinner.
