Since this Beauty Beat is all
about lips, I had to review my
favorite lip plumper:
Two Faced’s “Lip Injection
Extreme”
I’ve always wanted a fuller
lip, and needles just don’t seem
appealing to me. I have tried
many lip plumpers and Two
Faced’s “Lip Injection Extreme”
seems to work the best for me.
Within seconds, this product
gives your lips a tingling
sensation, and you will notice
your lips looking fuller within
minutes. Since this product is
a serum, it can be reapplied
as needed. I personally would
rather apply a temporary serum
than get any injections, and this
is definitely more cost efficient!
The tingling sensation can last
for around five minutes. Also, it
contains Vitamin E and avocado
oil for added moisturizing
benefits. This product is
definitely worth a try!
extra moisture, I’ll sometimes add a drop of olive
oil to the mix and massage it onto my lips. I find
that the longer you leave the scrub on your lips,
the more beneficial it is. This simple scrub takes
away some of that unwanted, dry skin on your
lips, and it leaves them feeling smooth.
My other tip is to apply some Vaseline or
petroleum jelly to a toothbrush before I gently
brush my lips with the toothbrush to take off
some of the unwanted, dry skin. Then, I apply
my favorite lip balm for a bit of moisture, and
I’m ready for my matte lipstick! Your lips will look
and feel moisturized if you scrub them often,
with or without applying lipstick after. You can
even apply a basic lip balm or Vaseline to your
lips every night to keep those lips smooth and
kissable!
Regarding Lip Lining. I have both good and
bad feelings about overlining lips. In my opinion,
if you overline too much, your lips tend to look
fake if not done correctly. My advice to you
would be: Less is more! I would make sure you
only draw your line a little outside of your natural
line if you feel it's necessary. If you don’t want to
overdraw your line, I have some tricks that give
the illusion of fuller lips.
First, for more intensity, you can get a lip
liner that's darker than your desired shade of
lipstick. Apply the darker shade to the cupid’s
bow of your lips, and then blend it to a lipliner
that's the same shade as your lipstick. Second, I
would absolutely make sure to apply foundation
onto your lips before you apply your lipstick. By
applying the foundation before hand, your lips
will automatically stand out more, therefore,
giving the illusion of a bigger lip. Applying a
foundation before any lipstick will always make it
stay longer as well, and will make the color pop!
Another trick would be to find a lipgloss that is
a shade lighter than your desired color and apply
the gloss to the middle of both your lips. This is
considered “lip contouring,” which will also give
your lips a fuller effect. Not only that, but the
gloss picks up light, which can make your lips a
focal point.
