How To Get Fuller Lips


Lately there has been a major craze for plump fuller lips, aka the Kylie Jenner lips and not all of us are blessed to have plump lips naturally. So her are some lips to get fuller looking lips without any surgeries or shot glasses. 



  • Lip Plumping Lip Gloss

Most makeup brands now have lip plumping lip glosses, that containing  cinnamon oilginger oil, peppermint oilspearmint extract, mentholcapsicum extract (cayenne pepper). These ingredients irritate the skin and increases blood flow to the lips to make them plumper looking. This plumping sensation can last a few hours but after frequent use some people can get immune to the plumping ingredients. 

  • Sugar Lip With Cinnamon

You can also make a homemade cinnamon sugar scrub to exfoliate the lips and bring blood flow to the lips. This is great for those who don't like wearing lip gloss and lasts for a few hours as well as leaving the lips feeling smooth and soft.

  • Tooth Brush Exfoliating
Using a tooth brush to exfoliate your lips is probably the easiest process to go through to get fuller looking lips as you can do this straight after brushing your teeth.  The brushing bring blood to the lips and also leaves the skin on your lips soft and smooth.

  • Over Lining Your Lips

Over lining your lips can do wonders to making your lips "look" fuller. By over lining your lips you can make an optical illusion to make your lips look fuller. Use a brown/ nude lip liner 2-3 shades darker than your natural lip colour and draw slightly over your lips. Then use a nude lipstick all over your lips slightly blending in with the lip liner. Then for that extra fullness dab a tiny bit of your concealer in the centre of your lips and blend with the lipstick. This will give your lips a 3D fuller looking lips. 

  • Lip Plumping Tools
There are now plenty of tools on the market you can purchase to make your lips look fuller. They mostly involve putting your lips in an air tight vacuum  and pulling your lips to make them plumper looking. This can come at some risk and I would suggest to try this option last.

If you have any tips or tricks to fuller looking lips I would love to hear them as I am one of the people who wasn't blessed to have plump looking lips.

Homemade Lip Scrub


Hey guys,

I love the wearing matte lipstick, but I hate the way they can make your lips look flakey and chapped. So I have come up with a easy homemade lip scrub that can get rid of all that dry, dead skin off your lips and leave them looking smooth and plump. You get find the products in your pantry or are easily obtained from your local supermarket.

What you're going to need:


  • A small container with a lid
  • 2 table spoons of sugar (make sure it's slightly coarse)
  • Half a tea spoon of lemon juice
  • Half a tea spoon of olive oil
  • 1 tea spoon of cinnamon 
And thats it!

All you need to do is mix the ingredients into the small container and use your middle finger to scrape out the scrub and rub onto your lips. Don't forget to store in a dry, cool place (the scrub can melt in direct sunlight).


  • Sugar is used as a 100% natural exfoliator.   
  • Lemon juice has natural lightening properties and is perfect for pigmented lips.
  • Olive oil hydrates the lips and reduces the chance of chapped lips.
  • The cinnamon is a great lip plumper by inflaming the skin on the lips and increasing the flow of blood to the them, making them appear larger and plumper.

Thanks for reading
