Lip Enlargement Makeup
There is a special technique, thanks to which, using simple decorative cosmetics, you can visually enlarge the lips. To begin with, a brush is taken and a light shade of lipstick is applied to the lips, after which a point of dark color is put in the center and shaded a little. In a more saturated tone, stroke is performed strictly along the contour of the lips.
To get a similar effect, make-up artists advise to mix several lipstick tones correctly: in the central part, a dark one is used and slightly shaded, and along the contour - a lighter color.
But sometimes in the arsenal of a girl there is only one shade of lipstick, with which it will also be possible to achieve the desired effect. To do this, the main tone is concentrated in the center, and shaded to the corners. As a result, the outline will be lighter in tone. Thanks to this technique of applying lipstick, the lips visually begin to appear more voluminous and seductive. Most importantly, you need to choose a lipstick without a pearlescent effect.
You can also use other techniques that are used by many Hollywood stars. In this case, using a brush for applying shadows along the lip line, up to the corners, matte shadows are distributed. A layer of gloss is applied on top of them. As a result, the lips become more voluminous, appetizing, juicy and sexy.
Lip massage for enlargement
To get the desired result, a special massage must be performed when performing a home program. It is recommended to do it in the morning, almost immediately after you woke up:
- Ice cubes. This is one of the oldest lip plumping methods that even our grandmothers used. This method is based on the contrast effect. First, you will need to warm your lips with hot water, after which they are instantly cooled with ice cubes. Once this procedure is completed, you need to lightly bite the lips. After a couple of days of performing such contrasting procedures, the color of the lips will become brighter, and the appeared volume will be noticeable.
- Toothbrush. For the massage, you need to pick up a brush with soft bristles, which is moistened in warm water, then a light massage is done in a circular motion for several minutes. To obtain a greater effect, a thin layer of honey is applied to the skin of the lips before starting the massage. During the massage, the blood flow is improved, the metabolic process is accelerated, due to which the lips increase in volume.
- Menthol oil. A little menthol oil is applied to a cotton swab, then lips are massaged in a circular motion for several minutes. Next, you need to moisturize the skin with any eye cream or lip balm.
- Scrub. The regular use of a special scrub is also beneficial, with the help of which dead skin particles are removed. As a result, the lips become softer, softer, more voluminous and seductive.
