LIP PLUMPERS: Best 5 Lip Plumpers

Full Lips








There is nothing wrong with thin lips, however we mostly think plumped pouty lips are more sexy. Every woman wants to have beautiful and attractive lips, without painful or expensive procedures. If you want Angelina Lips, go on reading...


Lip Plumpers


In the last decade, scores of over-the-counter products have hit the market, promising to produce puffier, and sexier, lips.Tinted or clear, in the form of a gloss, balm, stick, gel, or pot, traditional lip plumpers fatten the lips -temporarily - sometimes by irritating them. Containing ingredients like cinnamon, ginger mint, wintergreen, or capsicum - the fiery compound in hot peppers -they boost blood flow to the lips, leading to mild swelling and redness. 

It's these ingredients that also cause the telltale tingle or stinging. Although some people find that sensation uncomfortable, others welcome it as evidence that the plumper is working.












There are plenty of lip plumping products in the market, however a few of them really do good job. Here you will find the top 5 lip plumpers.



 BEST 5 LIP PLUMPERS



1. Urban Decay Big Fatty Lip Plumper - Price: $15

A 'warm, sheer, golden' gloss containing chili, jasmine, and hyacinth to 'dilate blood vessels, which increases circulation and blood flow to the lips for a 20% fuller and noticeably pinker pout'.
 

The good points: This is the best lip plumper I've ever tried, and the only one I've bought tube after tube of. The gloss has a fantastic consistency - it's smooth, not at all sticky, and has a subtle golden sheen which gives your lips a sexy, shiny look. The volumising effect begins immediately - it makes your lips tingle, but isn't too irritating - and it definitely makes your pout look plumper and pinker. It's brilliant for creating luscious, puffy lips but is subtle enough to use as an everyday lip gloss too!
The bad points: It's difficult to think of any - the only one that comes to mind is that it can cause irritation and redness if you get it on your skin outside the lip line, but the same is true of virtually all lip plumpers.  






2.Too Faced Lip Injection Extréme - Price: $25

This is Too Faced's latest innovation - supposedly a lip plumping 'serum' rather than a gloss, although its iridescent finish makes it perfect for wearing anywhere. It promises to 'increase lip volume and plumpness permanently with continued use' and is apparently 'based on four of the most scientifically proven and advanced lip plumping technologies' - hence the price.
 

The good points: This is a fantastic plumper which gives some of the most impressive results I've ever seen. If you want a dramatic, celebrity-style plump pout, this is the one to go for - and the effects last for quite a while too.
The bad points: Like the original Lip Injection, it's a bit sticky. I've also found that the tube leaks very easily, so watch out if you're keeping this in your makeup bag!





3.Too Faced Lip Injection - Price:$15 

One of the original lip plumping glosses on the market, it contains vitamin B and capsium Chinese extract in a formula 'based on medically-proven blood vessel dilating technology touted to create the sexiest pout this side of a plastic surgeon's office!'
 
The good points: This is still one of the most popular lip plumpers around for a good reason - it works. Once it's applied, you immediately feel the 'burn', your lips swell and become noticeably redder and plumper.
 
The bad points: The gloss is a bit too sticky, and the intense tingling sensation it creates makes it a little painful to apply, especially if you've never used a lip plumper before. 



4. Fusion Beauty LipFusion XL- Price:$50

This product, intended for nighttime use, works by applying tiny, dehydrated collagen particles to your lips.
When your body’s natural moisture interacts with the dehydrated collagen – poof! The collagen swells, and your lips look amazing! This product shows noticeable results in only a few days time, and the spearmint flavor is refreshing. 

My advice: Pair LipFusion XL with a regular LipFusion for daytime use, and get the best of both worlds! 



5. City Lips Lip Plumper- Price: $35


City Lips Lip Plumper contains a special ingredient that increases collagen production in the lips, which will – over time – increase lip fullness and smoothness. This product is amazing in the sense that it does improve lip plumpness while also making your pout healthier, and it does the job without the sting of other products.
Just remember – City Lips Lip Plumper doesn’t work instantly like some other products, so use it well in advance of your big night!

Lips: Beauty Tip: How to Get Super Pouty Lips


Beauty Tips for Perfect Lips
Pouty Lips



Having a hard time trying to achieve sexy super pouty lips? Here are a few steps in order to achieve this look:

What you will need:
1. lip balm
2. foundation/concealer
3. lip pencil
4. lipstick
5. lip gloss.

  • First of all you want a clean canvas much like how you use foundation to achieve an even and clean look on your face as a whole; you want to do the same with your lips. Since most people do their lips last, start with applying a clear lip balm on your lips before applying the rest of your makeup so that your lips will be nice and moist and soft and ready to go once you get to this last step in your routine.  You can use whatever lip balm treatment you would like for this step. 

  • Once you are ready to begin you will want to wipe the excess lip balm off your lips so that you can apply your regular foundation/powder. The point of this step is to even out the color and texture of your lips, and create an even base so that your lip color has something to stick to. Again if you don’t want to do this step you don’t have to. Some people find this step unnecessary or too drying on the lip.

  • Using the right lip pencil is crucial at this stage. Even if you are only applying lip gloss defining your lip can save you from the lip gloss or lipstick from bleeding outside of the lines and in the case of lip gloss it can save you from looking like you are drooling. Not a good look on anyone! If you are going for a super clean look you will want to choose a pencil that is a nude or light pink and for a darker look you may want to venture into a purple,dark wine color or brown). Start by lining your top lip first. Use light feathering strokes to outline your lip. Begin with your cupids bow. You don’t need to go outside your natural lip line for this look. Instead of over-emphasizing the cupids bow try to make the lines more of a straight line or slightly curved line rather than a strict ‘V’ shape. This is more flattering on most people. Also at the corners you might want to slightly draw the line inwards to draw more attention to your bottom lip. Next outline your bottom lip. This is where you can over-emphasize your natural lip line, but be careful to only do this in the center of the lip. Don’t forget to line the corners and then fill your lips in entirely. 

  • Once you have finished lining your lips you can move onto the lipstick. You can use the tube or a brush for this step. All depends on your comfort level. Using a lip brush is sometimes easier to use when you are manipulating your lip line (e.g. exaggerating your natural lip line or making the lip line look smaller; which we are doing both for this look); but if you are comfortable just using the lipstick itself that is fine as well. You will want to use a darker lipstick than lip gloss, or use a clear lip gloss if you are going for a nude lip, or even a slightly lighter nude or pink gloss. You will want to avoid glittery glosses. Also using a matte finished lipstick works best for this look.

  • Once you have the lipstick applied its time for the gloss. You don’t want to put this all over the lips, just in the center of the lip on both the top and bottom. Just purse your lips together a few times and do the finger trick in order to keep lipstick off your teeth.

  • Last step is to use concealer with a small brush to clean up your lip line ever so lightly which also helps to keep your lips looking fresh and crisp. Do this lastly to define the line more. You can still skip this step if you wish but it really can make a huge difference. You are done! And your pouty lips will surely get noticed!
Relatively simple but can add a polished sexy dramatic look to anyone’s lips and overall style!

LIPSTICKS: How to Apply Lipstick: Tips and Tricks



LIPSTICK



Lipstick is a cosmetic product containing pigments, oils, waxes, and emollients that applies color, texture, and protection to the lips. Many varieties of lipstick exist. As with most other types of makeup, lipstick is typically, but not exclusively, worn by women. The use of lipstick dates back to ancient times.

When it comes to makeup, lipstick is perhaps one of the more crucial elements to looking fabulous.




How to Apply Lipstick

Here you will find the easiest tips and tricks for applying your lipstick in the right way.


Tip #1


Understand which shades, kinds, and brands your lips prefer and would look good in. Consider your skin tone when selecting the right colors
  • Pale-skinned: try light, glossy colors (baby pinks and reds)
  • Moderate-skinned: use muted colors (muted pinks and even browns)
  • Dark-skinned: try using gold browns,cherry reds and even nude pinks.
  • It can vary, however, so find a shade that matches you.
LIPSTICK COLORS


Tip #2

Find a lip liner two shades darker than the lipstick. Lip liner is more important that one might assume because it creates a sort of foundation for the lipstick and can blend well. It also creates the illusion of plumper lips for those with thin ones.


 


Tip #3

Exfoliate your lips. Try scrubbing gently your lips with a toothbrush, or make a paste using sugar and water. Use the paste as an exfoliant and rub some on your lips for about 20 seconds. Rinse it off and smear Vaseline or lip balm on your lips. Wipe it off after a few minutes.

Tip #4


Outline your lips with the lipliner. If you have thin lips, you can color a little outside of the edge to give the impression of more plump lips.
  • Draw the line from the outside to the center.
  • Lipliner can also be used as a base if wished; add to all of your lips but be careful to keep the outline distinct.










Tip #5

Look in the mirror to make sure that you're filling in the lines correctly. Make one or two swipes of the lipstick across your top and bottom lip. It can be more effective to use a brush to apply; ask your makeup retailer for a lipstick brush and try it. 


 



After you have added the first coat of lipstick, apply a little more if desired. However, remember that less is more when it comes to lipstick, because greasy lips are not only unattractive, but also tend to rub off easily, onto everything.





Tip #6


Blot with the back of your hand or a tissue. Alternatively, suck your finger to blot. Apply gloss if desired. Dab a little in the center. You're finished :)))

GOLDEN TIPS

- Apply foundation on your lips before applying lipstick, its staying power will improve.

- Applying highlighter on the middle of the top of your lips will make your lips look fuller.

- After applying lipstick, take your index finger & pop it in your mouth, then pull it out. The excess lipstick will come off on your finger rather than your teeth. This way you will keep the lipstick off your teeth.

- For 'plump' lips, apply liner just outside your natural lipline.

- You can use lipstick as a blush.

- Store your lipsticks in the fridge. They will definitely last longer.

LIP GLOSSES AND LIP BALMS





Lip Glosses and Lip Balms


Lip Glosses and Lip Balms




What is lip gloss?

Lip gloss is a product used primarily to give lips a glossy lustre and sometimes subtle color. It is distributed as a liquid or a soft solid. It can be completely clear, translucent, or various shades of opacity, including frosted, glittered, glassy, and metallic finishes.

Lip gloss is often used when a person wants to have some color on their lips, but does not want an intense, solid lip color effect (i.e., a more "made-up" look), as lipstick would create. Lip gloss is also often used as an introduction to makeup. It is often used by preteen and young teenage girls who want to wear some makeup, but are too young to wear more intense lipstick colors.

It can also be applied over lipstick to give extra shine just like it can be applied alone directly on the lips. 

Applying Lip gloss over Lipstick



Lip gloss comes in a variety of forms and may be applied in different ways. It can be contained in a small cylindrical bottle and applied with a rounded or sloped applicator wand (known as a doefoot applicator) or with a built in lip brush.




    


Or it can come in a small, soft, squeezable plastic tube designed to be passed over the lips or applied with a fingertip or lip brush.



    



Solid or semisolid glosses come in boxes and tubes and sometimes blur the distinction between lip gloss and lip balm.

What is lip balm?




Lip balm is a wax-like substance applied topically to the lips to relieve chapped or dry lips or cold sores. Lip balm often contains beeswax or carnauba wax, camphor, cetyl alcohol, lanolin, paraffin, and petrolatum, among other ingredients. Some varieties contain dyes, flavor, fragrance, menthol, phenol, salicylic acid, and sunscreens. 
 





The primary purpose of lip balm is to provide an occlusive layer on the lip surface to seal moisture in lips and protect them from external exposure.

Lip balm can be applied where a finger is used to apply it to the lips, or in a lipstick-style tube from which it can be applied directly.
























Difference Between Lip Gloss and Lip Balm:


Lip Balm moisturizes, protects and/or heals the lips, whereas Lip Balm gives a shiny, sparkly and/or colored look to the lips. Balm is for care and Gloss is for the look.

Permanent Makeup

 



Permanent makeup is a cosmetic technique which employs tattoos (permanent pigmentation of the dermis) as a means of producing designs that resemble makeup, such as eyelining and other permanent enhancing colors to the skin of the face, lips, eyelids and eyebrows.  The specialized techniques used for permanent cosmetics are often referred to as "micropigmentation", "micropigment implantation" or "dermagraphics".

Permanent cosmetics procedures are performed using various methods, including the traditional tattoo or coil machines, the pen or rotary machine and the non-machine or hand method. The process includes an initial consultation, then application of pigment, and at least one or more follow up visits for adjusting the shape and color or density of the pigment.


Is Getting Permanent Makeup Painful?

Permanent makeup, permanent cosmetics, micropigmentation, and “semi” permanent makeup are the same procedure: a cosmetic tattoo. And, as such, a cosmetic tattoo utilizes needles to tattoo specialized pigments into the dermal layer of the skin. There is some discomfort associated with permanent makeup but when performed by a proficient technician, the discomfort should be minimal. People are individual and unique and have different tolerance to discomfort. Topical anesthetics are available for technicians and are very effective. Topical anesthetics used in permanent makeup are commonly formulated with lidocaine, tetracaine, benzociane and small amounts (in some) of epinephrine. The most challenging procedure is the eyelids.




 
 
 
 
Is permanent makeup really permanent?

Permanent makeup procedures are considered permanent because the color is implanted in the dermal layer of the skin and cannot be washed off. However, like all tattoos, fading can and does occur, so periodic color refreshing is needed.
 


How long does each procedure take?

The initial procedure will generally take up to 2½ hours. Touch-up procedures will take less time.
 
Who Benefits from Permanent Cosmetics?
 
* Men & Women who wish to look their best at all times.
* Busy people with little time to apply makeup.
* Men and women who seek correction of asymmetrical facial/body
   features.
* Anyone with allergies to conventional makeup.
*Those suffering from alopecia (hair loss), vitiligo (loss of skin pigment),and trichotillomania (pulling of hair).
* Anyone who desires freedom from daily makeup application
* People with flaws on their skin.
* Anyone experiencing physical/visual difficulty applying makeup.
* Anyone with oily skin and those active in sports who tend to shed
  makeup easily.
* Entertainers, actresses, actors, models.
* Anyone wanting to camouflage any hypopigmented scars (white scars)
  and/or reconstruct Areolas after breast enhancement surgery and/or after
  mastectomy.
 
 
 
 REMEMBER:
 
- Consultations are required prior to any permanent makeup procedure.
- Topical Anesthetics are used to minimize discomfort.
- There are many colors you may choose from for your selected permanent
   makeup procedure.
- During your consultation, design and pigment placement will be determined.
- There will be slight swelling and redness in the skin, which will subside
   quickly. You may resume normal activities immediately after your
   procedure. Complete healing takes one to six weeks while the
   pigmentation matures and reaches its final color result.
