How to Achieve Plump, Kissable Lips with Lipsticks

Every girl dreams of plump, kissable lips. While nature may not have blessed everyone with naturally full lips, the magic of makeup can transform even the thinnest lips into a luscious, kissable pout. The key lies in understanding the power of lipsticks and how to wield them effectively. In this blog post, we will discuss how you can achieve plump, kissable lips using lipstick.

Start With Understanding Your Lip Shape

The first step to achieving kissable lips is understanding your natural lip shape. This knowledge will help you choose the right lipstick shades, finishes, and application techniques to enhance your features.

To determine your lip shape, look at your lips in a mirror. Pay attention to the shape of your cupid’s bow (the curve at the top of your upper lip) and the fullness of your bottom lip. Once you’ve identified your shape, you can choose lipstick shades and finishes that will complement your natural features.

Choose the Right Lipstick Formula

Different formulas offer various benefits, from long-lasting wear to a high-shine finish.

Matte Lipsticks

Matte lipsticks are known for their long-lasting wear and bold color payoff. However, they can sometimes be drying, so it’s important to prep your lips with a lip balm before applying. To create a fuller look with matte lipstick, consider overlining your lips slightly with a lip liner. Colorbar’s Velvet Matte Lipstick can be a great option to consider here thanks to its matte finish and nourishing nature.

Glossy Lipsticks

Colorbar’s Sinful Plumping Lip Gloss can be a great option for those looking to add a touch of shine and plumpness to your lips and also want a hydrating formula. Its nourishing formula repairs and moisturizes with pomegranate, jojoba oils, and the cooling sensation of menthol for a glossy, sinful pout.

Liquid Lipsticks

Liquid lipsticks are highly pigmented and long-lasting. You can use Colorbar’s Starry Flip Lip Color with their Definer Lip Liner to achieve a bold and plump pout. The combination of the two products will enhance the color and shape of your lips, giving you a glamorous finish that lasts all day.

Lip Prep and Application Techniques for Plump Lips

Proper lip prep and application techniques are essential for achieving a flawless and long-lasting lip look. By following these steps, you can create a fuller, more defined pout.

1. Exfoliate: Exfoliating your lips regularly can help to remove dead skin cells, leaving your lips soft, smooth, and ready for lipstick. You can use a gentle lip scrub or a soft toothbrush to exfoliate your lips.
2. Hydrate: Keeping your lips hydrated is crucial for maintaining their health and appearance. Using lip balm regularly, you can keep your lips soft and supple.
3. Use A Lip Liner: Use a lip liner that is slightly darker than your lipstick to define your lip line and overline your lips slightly to create a fuller look.
4. Apply Lipstick: To apply lipstick, start by applying Colorbar’s Definer Lip Liner to outline your lips. Then, fill in your lips with lipstick, starting from the center and working your way outwards. For a more precise application, use a lip brush.
5. Overline: Once you have applied your lipstick, overline your lips to create a fuller appearance.
