Method 1 of 3: Using natural lip fillers

1. Moisturize your lips with coconut oil or pure cocoa butter. For best results, rub a generous amount of oil or butter on your lips every night just before going to bed. This gives your lips a full night to soak up the nutrients and moisturize naturally. When your lips are well hydrated, they generally look fuller and healthier and therefore more beautiful.
   • Use coconut oil labeled as pure, virgin, and / or unrefined, or cocoa butter labeled "pure" on the label. This coconut oil and cocoa butters contain more nutrients than the processed coconut oil or cocoa butters.
   • Hydrating your body by drinking plenty of water also helps your lips stay healthy and beautiful.
   • Petroleum jelly is also a great alternative for moisturizing your lips at night. Both coconut oil and petroleum jelly can help heal cracked and dry lips and prevent chapped lips in the future.
2. Exfoliate your lips to bring out their natural color. Use a toothbrush to exfoliate and clean your lips by removing dead skin. While exfoliating, rub in a circular motion to increase circulation and promote the natural fullness and rosy color of your lips.
   • Clean lips usually reflect more light, making them appear naturally fuller and healthier.
   • You can also make a simple and natural DIY sugar scrub as an alternative to scrubbing with a toothbrush. Apply the sugar scrub liberally to your lips and rub your fingers in a circular motion.
3. Add volume to your lips naturally with a coconut oil and peppermint oil balm. Mix 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of coconut oil with 5 or 6 small drops of peppermint oil in a small bowl. Use your finger to apply a little bit of this balm on your lips. Store the remaining balm in an airtight container and at room temperature for up to 2 years.
   • Peppermint oil is technically an irritant, so it acts as a natural lip filler by promoting blood flow to your lips and causing mild swelling. Be careful when applying peppermint oil to your lips. It is known that it could cause an allergic reaction in some people.
   • Since peppermint oil is a hot oil, mixing it with coconut oil will help prevent any burning or irritating side effects while also adding hydration. However, if you experience adverse side effects, wipe the balm off immediately. If the side effects last for more than an hour, talk to your doctor or take an antihistamine if you are sure it is safe for you.
   • You can also use cinnamon extract in place of peppermint oil, although it might sting a bit.
   • Avoid using a lip filler balm after applying this natural lip filler to reduce the risk of irritation.
4. Make a lip filler at home with olive oil and chili powder. In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of olive oil with a little bit of chili powder, no more than 1 teaspoon (5 ml). Rub the mixture lightly on your lips. Leave it on your lips for 1 to 5 minutes and then wipe it off with a paper tissue. Moisturize with coconut oil and pure cocoa butter or your favorite lip balm.
   • Chili powder, also known as paprika, causes mild swelling, which temporarily makes your lips thicker and fuller.
   • Since chili powder is a hot spice, there is a risk of irritation and burning. In most cases, this goes away within minutes of wiping off the lip filler. If the side effects last for more than an hour, talk to your doctor or take an antihistamine if you are sure it is safe for you.
   • To reduce the risk of irritation, avoid using a lip filler balm after applying this natural lip filler.

Method 2 of 3: Selecting lip filler products

1. Look for lip products that contain hyaluronic acid. Search online or visit your local drug store, makeup store, or skin care supply store to find lip products containing hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic Acid adds volume while moisturizing your lips, making it a popular ingredient in lip-filling products.
   • By moisturizing your lips, Hyaluronic Acid can also help treat or prevent chapped lips, making your lips healthier and more beautiful.
   • Hyaluronic Acid fillers are a relatively gentle alternative to fillers that contain irritants, as they work by improving hydration. That said, they don't plump lips as dramatically as other alternatives because they don't penetrate very deeply into the tissue of your lips.
2. For long-lasting results, choose lip products with collagen peptides. Collagen peptides are known to promote cellular growth and rejuvenation, making your lips fuller and more beautiful over time. While collagen peptides promote long-term beautiful and plump lips, without additional filling ingredients, lip products containing collagen peptides may not produce noticeable immediate results.
   • Like hyaluronic acid, collagen peptides themselves don't penetrate deep into the tissues of your lip, so your lips don't absorb much. This is part of the reason they won't produce noticeable instant results without the addition of other filling ingredients.
   • Products with collagen peptides can also reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on and around your lips.
   • If you are vegan you should avoid these products as many are animal derived.
3. Use a lip balm with caffeine as a temporary filler. Just as caffeine can boost your mental alertness, it can also promote circulation in your lips, making your lips appear rosy and plump. Unlike some other temporary lip fillers, such as from paprika and cinnamon, caffeine doesn't usually cause much burning or irritation.
   • Since caffeine doesn't irritate your lips as much as other filling ingredients, the filling effect can be more subtle.
4. Select a filling balm with cinnamon extract or paprika. Cinnamon and paprika (chili powder) are both natural ingredients often added to manufactured lip fillers. When applied to your lips, both cinnamon and paprika cause a mild irritation that causes blood to flow to your lips, which in turn leads to a temporary filling of your lips.
   • Since padding is the result of irritation, there is a risk of burning and other uncomfortable side effects with lip fillers that contain cinnamon or paprika. These side effects usually disappear within minutes.
   • If you experience adverse side effects, wipe off the filler balm immediately. If the side effects last for more than an hour, talk to your doctor or take an antihistamine if you are sure it is safe for you.
5. Plump your lips with lip filler injections. Contact a cosmetic doctor to make an appointment for filling your lips with filler injections. While lip filler injections can be quite expensive and come with some risks, they are generally effective in keeping your lips looking beautiful and plump for about six months.
   • Some of the most common and minor side effects and risks of lip injections are swelling and bruising at the injection site, reactivation of cold sores or fever blisters, and tenderness around your lips.
   • More serious side effects can be lip asymmetry, bumps, infection, tissue loss, or allergic reaction.
   • The cost of lip filler injections varies greatly depending on the type of filler used, the doctor's experience, and where you live. On average, lip filler injections cost between $ 200.00 and $ 1,000.00 for a treatment that lasts approximately six months.

Method 3 of 3: Create the illusion of fuller lips with makeup

1. Use foundation or concealer to create a larger base. Apply your usual foundation or concealer to your lips. Use a blender brush or sponge to blend away any rough lines, especially along your lip line. Build up more layers of the product and blend as needed until your natural lip line is hidden.
   • While natural lip fillers and products can make your lips both fuller and healthier, the results are limited. If your lips are particularly thin or you are looking for a more dramatic change, you can use foundation or concealer to hide your natural lip line to create a new and bigger lip line.
2. Draw a lip line on the outer edge of your lips. Choose a lip liner pencil that is 1 to 2 shades darker than your natural lip color. Use the pencil to draw fuller lips by following the outside edge of your lips (instead of the inside or on top). Fill in your lips with the pencil or with a lipstick of the exact same color.
   • If you use a lip liner pencil that is only 1 or 2 shades darker than your natural color, it will look natural while allowing you to cover your natural lip line.
   • Filling in your lips with the same color as the pencil will keep your makeup looking seamless and natural.
3. Add highlighter on the cupid's bow to bounce the light. Using your finger or a small brush, apply a light and clear highlighter to the center of your upper lip, right where your lip makes a small dip (aka the cupid's bow). The highlighter makes your lips look fuller by reflecting the light.
4. Choose light colors and glossy lipsticks. When purchasing lipstick, select colors that are lighter than your own lips or no more than two shades darker than your normal lip color. In general, light and glossy colors tend to make your lips appear fuller, while dark and matte colors can make your lips appear smaller.
   • If you want to define your lips with a darker pencil, but still want to make them look full, try filling it in with a lipstick or lip gloss that is slightly lighter than the pencil (no more than 1 to 2 shades lighter).

Tips

• While lip fillers with toxins will almost certainly work, they can also be very harmful to your skin and are not recommended by most dermatologists.
