Mention plump lips and Kylie Jenner might be the first inspiration that comes to mind. The American reality star-turned-beauty mogul, after all, popularised the goal of having full, luscious puckers. But if you don’t want to get lip fillers done like her, you can still fake fuller lips with makeup using a combination of lip liners to sculpt, lipsticks for colour and lip glosses to add dimension.
Colourpop is known for its combination of affordable pricing, quality and wide variety of options. With a long-wearing formula that prevents feathering, (over) line your lips with this trio of nude lip pencils to define the lip shape and size you want to achieve.
Chanel’s Rouge Coco Bloom is a high-shine lipstick that lets you combine your lipstick and lip gloss steps in one. Use a lip liner to shape the lips before applying the hydrating and plumping formula, which comes in eight shades.
A British makeup artist that has set countless makeup trends with her work on the runways, Pat McGrath’s lip liners have garnered a cult following who love them for their creamy, long-lasting formulation. Sculpt your puckers with nudes, reds, browns and more.
If a matte liquid lipstick is just too drying for your lips, consider satin lipsticks instead. The Rouge Hermes collection has 14 satin shades that are infused with a moisturising complex and mulberry extract to nourish your puckers.
The Dior lip oils are for those who want a glossy lip with more nourishing ingredients. The mirror-shine lip oil is infused with cherry oil to moisturise, protect and soften lips, especially if you have a matte liquid lip underneath.
For extra oomph, Patrick Ta’s plumping lip gloss contains warming compounds such as pepper, ginger, cinnamon and peppermint extracts to stimulate blood flow to the lips and create an instant plumping effect.
With a mask-friendly formula that is smudge-, water- and transfer-proof, Maybelline’s liquid lip promises to wear up to 16 hours. The arrow-shaped applicator makes it easy to create a defined lip, even without a lip liner.
We can’t talk about achieving Kylie Jenner’s plump lips without including the lip kits from her own makeup label Kylie Cosmetics. Available in an array of shades, these sets come with a pigmented matte liquid lip and a matching lip pencil. It also promises to be water-, transfer- and smudge-proof.
