Don't have Scarlett Johansson's plump lips?
Don't despair - with the help of completely affordable products you can achieve more volume for your thin lips. At least visually.
A beautiful mouth is, first of all, one that is properly cared for. To remove dead cells, use a suitable scrub from time to time. For example, you can mix sweet almond oil with a small amount of fine sugar.
Massage your lips with this mixture. After the massage, they will look fresher and thicker, and their contour will become clearer. Another effective tool is a toothbrush - you can also massage your lips with it to make them look more lush.
Most often, we are attracted to bright lipsticks because we think that they make our lips look more voluminous. Wrong! In fact, overly saturated and dark tones optically reduce their size.
Choose fairly light colors – nude, pale pink… Also use glittery shadows that highlight the curves of your lips. These textures reflect light and add volume, while matte ones absorb it.
It precisely outlines the lips and emphasizes their shape. Choose a pencil in the color of the lipstick. Its shade should in no case be brighter than the lips - this looks quite old-fashioned. Start with the outline, not going beyond its natural line. Then apply lipstick.
For this optical trick you will need two lipsticks of two different shades, one should be lighter than the other. First apply the lighter lipstick to your lips.
Place dark shades only in their visible inner part. The resulting contrast will create the impression of a more voluminous mouth. The dark shade can be applied with fingers and lightly shaded with the light one for an even more natural effect.
Did you know that cinnamon makes your lips swell? Try it yourself. Mix sweet almond oil with a little cinnamon powder and apply the mixture to your lips.
Leave it for ten minutes. Under the influence of cinnamon, blood circulation increases and lip volume increases noticeably!
