Hello everyone, hope you are all well and welcome back to my blog!
Today's post is about getting fuller looking lips, there are a lot of different ways that you can achieve this but I chucked a view of them together for this post.
Okay before I get into I want to apologize for the quality of the photos, I had them so perfect and ready a few days prior then I went to put them on the post today and they have vanished.. So I had to quickly do it all again before it got to late. Sorry!
What I used
Lip Scrub: Optional. Exfoliating encourages blood flow, there for your lips will look they are there 'swelling' and when I swelling I don't mean they are going to end up the size of your whole face, I mean they will slightly be more larger. This doesn't last a very long time though and usually wears off after a while.
Lip Plumper: This is also optional and I hardly ever use lip plumper because I have never used one that actually works for me.
NYX Lip Plumper
Nude Lipstick: I find if you are wanting a full lip look that a nude lipstick works the best.
ELF Matte Lip Color
Nude Lipliner: I usually use one that a little but dark but not too darker.
ChiChi lip liner & Essence lip liner
Lipgloss: Adds shine and 'plumpness'
NYX Lip Butter, Elf Glossy Gloss & Elf Lip Gloss
Highlighter: To apply to the middle of the lips, and the cupids bow and bottom lip.
MAC Soft and Gentle
Contour powder: To shade under bottom lip
Elf bronzing powder
First step: Scrub! Remember to wipe any excess off. I used my Lush Bubblegum Lipscrub
Second step: Apply lip plumper. Let this set in and do it's work for a little while.
Third step: I then wipe some of it off so I can apply my lipstick better, I used my elf matte lip color in Nearly Natural
Fourth step: Line your lips, going outside of the lips a little bit. Do this carefully because if you draw to far out it won't look very good.
Fifth step: Apply lip gloss!
Sixth step: Highlight cupids bow, middle on lips and along line of bottom lip
Seventh step: Lighting apply a contour shade beneath the bottom lip
The result!
Again, I'm sorry for the bad quality. I had to do this all at the last minute with no good source of lighting.
Although, I do hope this helped you and the rest of the makeup look I am wearing will be in a future post using some of my Napoleon Perdis products
