Creating the illusion of bigger, plumper lips is a prevalent makeup goal for many beauty lovers. I've always been dissatisfied with the size, shape, and even the natural color of my lips. I have a few scars on my lower lip, which only adds to unevenness and discoloration. However, it's not just the scars, I've always been unsatisfied with the size of my lips. I always wanted them to look bigger, and plumper.

Luckily, makeup opens up a world of possibilities when it comes to non-surgical lip augmentation. Nude lip liners of all sizes and finishes, lip plumping glosses with magical 'enhancing' ingredients, lip masks with hyaluronic acid, and even portable lip plumpers – these are only a few ways to make your lips look bigger. In today's post, I'll show you a simple tutorial and explain to you how to make your lips look bigger.

How to Make Your Lips Look Bigger with Makeup?


  • Step #1:

First of all, we need to prepare the skin of our lips. Dead skin cells on the surface of the lips make them look thinner. By exfoliating your lips, you will remove these dead skin cells and reveal smoother, fuller-looking lips. You can make your lip scrub formulation by mixing a small amount of sugar and honey;
  • Step #2: 

After exfoliation apply a lip balm or lip moisturizer. They will hydrate your lips and prepare them for further lip makeup;
  • Step #3:

One of the easiest, non-surgical ways to make your lips look bigger is by using a lip liner that is slightly darker than your natural lip color. Start by outlining your lips just outside the natural line of your lips, creating an "overdraw" effect;
  • Step #4:

Then, fill in the rest of your lips with the same nude lip liner. You can set the lip liner with some translucent powder to make the lip makeup last longer. Smooth the color with a finger and apply matching nude lipstick. Not a fan of finger makeup applications? Use a small, synthetic lip brush to get a precise look;
  • Step #5:

To add extra fullness to the lips, dab a small amount of highlighter or reflective lip gloss onto the center of your bottom lip. You can also add a dash of your favorite highlighter to the cupid's bow (the V-shaped area at the top of your upper lip). The light-reflecting properties of the highlighter or gloss will make your lips appear bigger and plumper.
