Fortunately today there are many options to make your lips fuller, to give your lips definition and to improve their appearance – you can undergo a lip enhancing surgery, you can have lip enhancing injections, you can use makeup products and techniques to add volume to your lips.

LIP PLUMPERS
Lip plumpers (lip enhancing gloss, lip plumers) are relatively new products on the market that give volume and definition to the lips. They work by slightly irritating the delicate skin of the lips causing slight swelling to plump up your lips. Most of the lip plumpers contain many nourishing and moisturizing ingredients that nourish and condition the lips – honey, chamomile, aloe vera, olive oil, almond oil, essential oil as well as special ingredients that offer fullness of the lips as they slightly irritate the skin of the lips (peppermint, caffeine, niacin, cinnamon).

How lip plumpers work?

  • they make blood vessels dilate, increasing the blood flow to the lips
  • they make lips swell slightly
  • they contain ingredients that reduce lip lines and nourish the delicate skin deeply
  • they fill in cracks and fine lines on the lips
  • they enhance collagen in the lips which is essential for fuller lips
  • some of them use light reflecting ingredients to trick the eye and make the lips appear fuller

How to apply lip plumper?

The lip plumpers can be applied before or over your lipstick to well-moisturized lips. Use the plumper during the day to maintain and increase your plump.

HOW TO APPLY MAKEUP TO MAKE YOUR LIPS FULLER?

Step One. Apply a concealer or a foundation to your lips
Apply a concealer, foundation or translucent loose powder to your lips to create a base. By creating a base for the lipstick it will adhere better and the color will be more intense.

Step Two. Use a lip liner
Lining your lips with a nude or a natural-toned lip liner in a must if you want to make your lips appear bigger and fuller. Use a lip pencil and rim your pout very carefully. Make sure the lip pencil is sharp enough and carefully outline your lips to give your mouth a great shape and to stop your lipstick from feathering.

Step Three. Apply lipstick
Apply your lipstick as usual using a lip brush for a more precise application. Run the brush on the lipstick from side to side so that it has enough lipstick on it.First apply the color to the centre of your lips and then slowly brush the color out towards the edges. Blot your lips with a tissue to remove any excess and then apply a second layer for a more saturated lip color.

Step Four. Use a lip gloss
Apply lip gloss to add shine to your lips and to create a more seductive look.

LIP ENHANCMENT TREATMENTS – LIP FILLERS

Collagen injections
Collagen injection is probably the most famous lip enhancement treatments as collagen has been in use from more than 20 years already. Collagen injections give the opportunity to increase the size of the lips without a permanent result. The collagen injections used for lip enhancement usually contain Bovine collagen and unfortunately there is a possibility of allergic reaction but it’s very rare. Those with too thin lips may need additional injections in order to maintain the fullness of their lips.
Undoubtedly, collagen injection is nice and safe way to plum up your lips and to define the edges of the lips. It usually lasts up to 5/ 6 months. * Collagen in approved by the U.S Food and Drug Administration.

Restylane injections
Restylane is synthetic, dermal filler amongst the most popular lip fillers. The best advantage of Restylane filler is that it can last for up to 8/ 12 months and because it isn’t extracted from animals the possibility of an allergic reaction is very small. Restylane should be injected into the lips in tiny amounts by a needle. Despite lip enhancement Restylane injections can be also used for wrinkle correction, reducing fine lines, crow’s feet. Restylane is FDA-approved.

Restylane Lipp*
Restylane Lipp is a specially designed gel for the lips that give the opportunity to create more volume and definition to the lips. It is a crystal-clear form of hyaluronic acid that maintains lip fullness and definition.

Hyaluronic lip filler
Recently the cosmetic surgeons began to use hyaluronic gel (hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that exist in a human body) to add volume and definition to the lips. A pure hyaluronic gel is injected into the lips to binds water and to hold the elastic and collagen of the skin together. The biggest advantage of hyaluronic lip filler is that it doesn’t pose an allergy risk and the result can last up to 6/ 8 months.

Three Common Skincare Mistakes


mistakes-skin.jpgAlmost every woman makes mistakes when taking care of her skin, before collecting enough information and experience about the proper skin care regime.
Here are three of the most common mistakes that women do when taking care of their skin.

Mistake 1 - Washing your face with soap

Soaps dry your skin. It’s true that they make the skin absolutely clean and bright, they remove the blackheads, but the true is that the soap harms your skin. The soap stimulates the secretion of the sebaceous glands, which means more blackheads formation after every cleansing.
You had better use a tonic, cleansing lotion or gels that are specially designed for facial cleansing.

Mistake 2 - Not removing the makeup in the evening
There is no need to say how harmful this is for your skin – the deep-rooted during the day dust, powder, mascara, makeup and the natural skin secretions remain on the skin during the whole night and the result is a sad consequences – clogged pores, pimples formation, acceleration of oils and most importantly your skin cannot” breathe” .
The reason for not removing the makeup usually is the late going to bed. That’s why you should keep a pack of wet cleansing wipes on your bedside table or you can simple remove the makeup earlier. Cleanse the face with cleansing milk, tonic or gel, apply night cream and enjoy a calm night.
It’s the same and for the boys – the facial cleansing isn’t just for the girls.

Mistake 3 - You don’t use an eye cream
The eye area is the first to show any signs of ageing. In this area the skin is most delicate and forms wrinkles easily. Applying an eye cream is especially essential for those over 25. That’s why you should choose appropriate for you eye cream and apply it both in the morning and in the evening.
