Lip venom by DuWop is definitely the best. First time is a bit scary but then you get used to it. I always use it going out now with just a nude liner

I just eat chilli, chillies make my lips swell so I get the trout pout ting perfect! Kinda dangerous though because I’m obviuosly allegic to the stuff….

All the buxom lips range by bare minerals full plumped up lips and gentle tingle gloss lasts for HOURS! I saw their new ‘ready’ range when I was in over the weekend stocking up on buxom and all I can say is goodbye wages next fri!

I definitely DON’T need lip plumpers as I have pillowy lips already (which by the way I used to get bullied in school over in a serious way “blow job lips” being the only thing that I will actually type*) but, I was getting my make-up done for a photo shoot before and the make up artist put lip gloss right in the centre of my bottom and top lips and got me to smush them to spread slightly but not out to the edges and it made them look even bigger. Not sure if this would work on very thin lips but have a few friends who tried it since and it had a good effect on them.

*other not very nice things at all.

The only plumping gloss that ever worked for me was an urban decay one that was discontinued. All the reviews for it are crap and any time I stumble upon one all I can thing is ‘give it to me then!’

I don’t have the thinnest lips going, have accidently picked up some of the lip plumper glosses before and they don’t do much for my lips, prefer a nice bright bit of lippy instead…

I only like my lips to sting from food being too hot or after a long smooching session with my fella when he has stubble going on, I’ll pass on the lip plumpers

I love S&G Motherpucker. Have a few of them, and don’t even care if they make my lips look bigger – I just love the tingles! In a non-creepy way, obviously…

Great post, Lorraine. Mac Ample Pink is very favourite gloss of all time!

Great post, L.

I too am cursed with a skinny minnie upper lip but can’t abide plumpers – who wants to feel like they’ve been in the Dentist’s chair voluntarily, WHO?

The only gloss remotely close to a plumper that I can use is Urban Decay’s Lip Junkie in Naked. I loves it.

One tip I picked up in my quest for a fuller kisser, the slightest amount of shimmer in your cupid’s bow gives the effect of a fuller top lip – it actually works.
