Please Sir, I Want Some More [Lips]-Info Post #6

*Full disclosure I have not tried some of the following tips*

So the genetics tree was supposed to give black women all the full lips and booty for days. I can tell you that one of those dreams is definitely deferred but I certainly got the lips. If you have thin lips and want to get that full pout there's a couple of ways to do it without elective surgery.

Lip Plumper
There are several lipsticks on the market that provide lip plumping qualities.  Buxom has a very good line of plumping lipsticks and glosses.  If you would like to go the DIY route, cinnamon oil can act as a natural lip plumper.  Instructions here

Lip Liner
Using liner two ways can add depth to your lip.  First way is to line just along the outer ridge of your lips with your lip liner. Doing this, instead of putting liner on the line helps to make your lips look naturally bigger.The second way is to use a darker colored lip liner and blend it into your lipstick.  The ombre effect will create depth and fullness.

Highlighting
Using a highlighter on your Cupid's bow is another great way to fake it till you make it. Blending into your lips with added dab of lip gloss in the middle and lower lip will give you something to pout about.
