Lip Plumpers

 

Beauty trends come and go (sometimes in the same season) but one such aesthetic which is really having a moment right now is the ‘no makeup- makeup’ look. 

Think nude plumper, natural brows (no overdrawn, dramatic lines), soft and subtle blush for rosy cheeks. Yet, bigger lips are one trend that seems to stick around no matter what.

For those of us non-Kardashians, achieving a fuller lip used to be synonymous with multiple, time consuming lip filler appointments and a hefty price tag; but that isn’t ideal! So what’s a girl to do?

 

Which Lip Plumper is the Best?

 

Available in a dizzying array of liquids, oils and serums, lip plumpers come in a range of formulas. These products are designed to impart volume to thinner lips, giving them a fuller, plumper look. 

Most plumpers are applied topically and often give a slight ‘tingling’ sensation as they make lips appear fuller and give that bee-stung look. Without the need of lip filler injections. Or bees!

Intrigued? Keep reading for a curated selection of the best lip plumpers to give you that perfect pout, from budget buys to decadent splurges.
