When Kim Kardashian decided to finally share the secret to her fuller lips, I freaked out. A part of me was hoping–praying even–that she'd admit to using lip injections like her younger sister Kylie Jenner did. Instead, what we got was a long list of beauty products Kim uses to enhance her pout. Of course, I was slightly disappointed by what I considered dishonesty, but also kind of excited by the amount of beauty and makeup products out there that can make anyone fake fuller lips!
More from MamásLatinas: Did Kim Kardashian get her lips done?
Don't get me wrong, none of the products are going to give you Kylie Jenner before-and-after results. But they can make lips look significantly more polished, smoother, and plumper. In fact, these are perfect for the girl who is not about that whole lip injection life.
Kylie Jenner seems to have started the trend of fuller lips and the focus on pout. But unless you got the big bucks to get injections done regularly and you know a good enough plastic surgeon or dermatologist that can manage to keep them looking natural, your best bet is to go for lip enhancing products that will leave you with more subtle and natural results. Here's a look at all the products to give you your best lip life!
Try a stimulating lip mask.
Kim Kardashian swears by this bizarre dragon’s blood extract-infused lip mask that comes straight from the Amazon rainforest. The sap combined with hyaluronic acid, helps to stimulate lips causing them to appear plumper, smoother, and younger looking. Rodial Dragon's Blood Lip Mask ($45).
A good lip scrub makes all the difference.
This brown sugar lip polish works to gently exfoliate and condition your pout, leaving lips soft but slightly swelled up–yes, fuller! Fresh Sugar Lip Polish ($24).
A gloss can make lips look fuller.
This gloss is nothing like the ones you use growing up. It’s loaded with vitamin E to keep lips ultra hydrated, glossy and full–all without the nasty stickiness too! Glossier It’s the Glossiest ($14).
If you’re feeling extra, try a lip plumping device.
Most likely inspired by the Kylie Jenner lip challenge, JuvaLips functions almost like a vacuum, boosting blood flow into the capillaries of your lips causing them to swell and plump up. Supposedly it also helps to smooth any fine lines you might have around your lips. JuvaLips Original Lip Plumper ($150).
Try this lip-plumping serum.
People swear by this product because it features a medically-proven blood vessel dilating technology that helps develop plump lips, not just once, but gradually over time. Too FacedDeluxe Lip Injection Extreme ($14).
A sleep mask works wonders.
This leave-on overnight mask soothes and intensely hydrates lips leaving you with a smooth and supple pout by morning. Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask ($20).
An exfoliating brush can make all the difference.
This moisturizing lip balm and exfoliating brush duo plumps while also protecting, moisturizing and hydrating your lips, leaving them baby soft. Nurse Jamie NuLips RX Moisturizing Lip Balm + Exfoliating Brush ($26).
There’s more than one lip-plumping device out there.
This one uses pulsating vacuum technology with a special formulated serum that instantly plumps and anti-ages lips. PMD Anti-aging Lip Plumping ($139).
Lip plumping oils can also help sexify that pout.
This nourishing formula is designed to smooth and comfort lips and make them appear fuller. Did we mention that it leaves lips with a nice hint of color loaded with shine? Clarins Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil ($26).
Get yourself a good argan oil butter.
This highly nourishing argan oil and honey infused lip butter doesn’t just condition lips, it’s formulated with a subtle lip plumping complex that instantly volumizes your pout. They have them in a bunch of pretty shades too! Josie Maran Argan Lip Sting Plumping Butter ($23).
Overdraw your lips.
Overdrawing has become one of the biggest tricks when it comes to faking a fuller pout. But a plump-boosting lip liner will maximize those benefits even further. Buxon Plumpline Lip Liner ($17).
Boost volume and shine.
This hydrating lip serum leaves lips looking plumper, smooth, and dramatically shiner. Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Lip Booster ($23).
Get some collagen on those lips.
This lip mask set won’t give you dramatic results, but when the collagen-infused formula starts to kick in, your lips will notice a subtle tingle that leaves them looking instantly plump and younger-looking. KNC Beauty All Natural Collagen Infused Lip Mask ($25).
