Luscious lips just with the help of make-up tricks? We list four tricks to make your own lips look fuller.

1. Delineation of the lips
A careful delineation that goes slightly beyond the lip lines increases the size of the lips. Try either a shade that is as natural as possible, similar to the color of your own lips, or boldly choose a dark and trendy contrast border, preferably in brown.
2. Luster
When the light hits the lips, they immediately look noticeably plumper. In your make-up bag, you should now have either a high-gloss or pearly lip gloss or a caring trendy product, i.e. lip oil.
Products that contain, for example, a hint of lip-swelling menthol or ginger or chili extract plump up the lips even more.
3. Highlight the cupid’s bow
Accentuate the cupid’s bow by flicking it with a light-reflecting accent color. A liquid product is the best option for this task, as it can be applied and blended into place conveniently with your finger. A small amount is enough, don’t believe it.
Plumper lips can be tricked with cosmetics even without injection treatments. Pictured is Olivia Culpo. All Over Press
4. Light shades
Light and light shades make the lips look plumper, while dark and matte reds create the illusion of narrower lips. Enhance the impression even more with light-reflecting pearl shades
