Get plumper-looking lips without the trout mouth


While I would like to have fuller lips, the idea of injecting any substance into my body is scary. But collagen is not the only way to get Angie-esque lips– I have found a few pout enhancing tricks that won’t leave you in pain or looking like a trout!

The magic of lip liner: Using a lip liner is the easiest way to go from average lips to amazing lips! The key is to choose a nude shade closest to your natural mouth color. Slowly trace the pencil ever so slightly outside of your natural lip line. Next, using a lip brush or just applying straight from the tube, put on a rose colored or nude lipstick. With your ring finger, slightly blend the two products together. To finish off the lip, apply a dab of gloss or lighter lipstick onto the center of your lips. There are a lot of good quality drugstore products out there that can recreate this look. Revlon’s Nude Lip Liner in combination with Revlon’s Soft Rose lipstick looks really beautiful!

Highlighting and contouring: This method will make your lower lip look so big it creates a shadow, and the highlighting will make your upper lip appear plumper. After applying a lip gloss or lipstick as you normally would (do not over line your mouth this time), use your ring finger to dab a small amount of a subtle highlight right on your cupid’s bow. It’s your choice of which product to use to do this: shimmering eye shadows, cream highlighters and shimmery facial powders will all do the job. Next, take a small eye shadow brush (a crease brush will work well) and lightly tap it into a matte bronzer. Using a very light hand, gently dust the bronzer right under your bottom lip.

Use a plumping primer: Not only will a primer keep your lipstick on for longer, but certain primers can create a sexy, bee-stung look. DuWop Prime Venom is a great lip plumping primer that only hurts a little bit, and is supposedly a favorite of Hollywood starlets. 

DIY lip plumper: Mix a teaspoon of olive oil with a bit of salt and apply to your lips. Leave it on for a few minutes before wiping it away to reveal fuller, slightly swollen lips, naturally. Warning: you might be tempted to lick the salty olive oil mix off your lips!

How Air Pollution Is Damaging Your Health

Image
Exposure to air pollution is associated with numerous effects on human health, including pulmonary, cardiac, vascular, and neurological impairments. The health effects vary greatly from person to person. High-risk groups such as the elderly, infants, pregnant women, and sufferers from chronic heart and lung diseases are more susceptible to air pollution. Children are at greater risk because they are generally more active outdoors and their lungs are still developing. Exposure to air pollution can cause both acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) health effects.
