Exfoliate
This is the step number one for lip care.

To get rid of any impurities, do one regularly scrub with a product containing micro granules, or with one mixture of honey and sugar. Alternatively, you can also brush them lightly with a toothbrush. Doing this in addition to exfoliating circulation also increases, giving you a rosy tint without makeup.
Hydrates, hydrates, hydrates
When the body is dehydrated, yours lips wrinkle and disappear. So make sure you drink plenty of water throughout the day.
Don’t forget the lip balm
In addition to moisturizing the lips by drinking the right amount of water, lay out of them with regularity a balm that softens them. This way, in addition to being healthier, they will also look bigger.
Rely on a lip pencil
Before Kendall Jenner surgically improve her lips, he used this trick to make them look bigger.

Create a light point
This trick super fast will help you draw attention to your smile and make your lips look voluminous.
Get a transparent lip gloss and roll out a small amount in the center of both the upper and lower ones. The gloss collects the light, creating the illusion of fuller lips.
This technique works both on bare lips and on top of a lipstick.
Try a plumping treatment
There are several on the market plumping balms, glosses and treatments which perform this function by acting from the outside and without needles.
The most functional are those based on chilli which by dilating the blood vessels and activating the micro circulation, give lips more voluminous instantly.
Learn the layering technique
Layering the colors generates an optical illusion such as to make the lips seem voluminous while not being particularly.
Here’s how to do it: apply one shades of lipstick all over your mouth, so cover it, just in the central part, with a color slightly clearer or a white lip liner. Stretch out, finally over the entire surface another lipstick, little darker of the first.
In addition to making your lips look voluminous, this makeup helps to standardize them. If you have a fuller upper lip and a smaller lower lip, or vice versa, try applying the lighter shade only to the smaller lip.
Create a shadow under the lower lip
After applying the lipstick, take some ground powder or a dark product that you usually use for contouring and with a thin brush make a small mark under the lower lip.
This creates a slight shadow and makes the lips look more pouting and voluminous.
