How to enlarge lips with makeup?

Many representatives of the fairer sex dream of increasing the shape of their lips. To tell the truth, today this can be done in many ways: perform special injections, seek help from a plastic surgeon, or resort to the help of ordinary makeup. The last solution, although temporary, however, has a number of advantages - after all, it only takes a few minutes to apply lipstick to your lips, and if the result is unsuccessful, you can quickly correct your mistakes.

Therefore, anyone who wants to correct the shape of too thin lips should remember the following:

In order to make your lips fuller, first of all you need to carefully outline them with a contour pencil, slightly departing from the natural line (1.5 - 2 mm). The color of the contour should be peach or dark pink, since dark shades, on the contrary, reduce the volume, and too light shades do not allow you to clearly draw the shape of the lips. All lines made with a pencil should be soft and smooth, without sharp corners or irregularities.
Next, you need to paint your lips with light lipstick, matched to the tone of the pencil (it may differ from it by one tone, that is, be a little lighter).
If you want to add volume to your lips, you can cover them with gloss on top. The latter is recommended to be applied in moderation so that they appear more natural and are not overly overloaded with cosmetics.

Here is one example of how this can be done:

Proper lip care after the procedure

For quick healing, without complications and disruption of the recreated form, experts recommend following simple rules of care:

· use of antiseptics and ointments with analgesic effect;

· apply cold chamomile compresses;

· after the procedure, it is recommended not to lie down for 8 hours; in the next week you should sleep on your back, with your head elevated (on a high pillow);

· during the day after the injection, hot and cold drinks and foods should be avoided;

· For 7 days, avoid kissing on the lips and physical activity.

How to enlarge lips with makeup if they are disproportionate?

Among other things, there are cases when the upper lip is thinner than the lower, or, conversely, thinner. In order to adjust their shape and make them visually more even, you should:

— If the upper lip is thinner, outline its contour slightly higher than natural, and, on the contrary, draw the lower lip so that it appears smaller (shifting its contour 1 mm inward). It is advisable to apply lipstick of a slightly darker shade to the lower lip than to the upper lip. In addition, it wouldn’t hurt to lightly powder the skin around the mouth and blur the sharp edges. This will smooth out the clear contours of the lips and thereby make them less noticeable.

- If the lower lip is smaller in width, then repeat all the above steps exactly the opposite - apply dark lipstick to the upper lip, and draw a thin line along the lower lip with a contour, shifting it inward one millimeter from the edge.

Types and causes of lip asymmetry

Lip asymmetry is a fairly common deviation from the norm. It can be observed in a calm state of the face or during moments of movement of facial muscles, for example, during a smile or conversation. The problem may be hereditary and congenital, or appear as a result of the negative impact of internal or external factors.

The most common asymmetrical lips are the result of:

nervous disorders;
previous injuries;
malocclusion;
dental pathologies;
underdevelopment or decreased tone of facial muscles;
age-related changes in the lower part of the face;
lesions, diseases, tissue tumors in the lip area, etc.

At the same time, experts distinguish several types of lip asymmetry:

drooping of one corner of the mouth;
curved lip line;
skewed mouth to one side;
lips of different volumes.

Untimely correction of lip asymmetry leads to deterioration: as a result of natural aging of the skin, tissues and muscles, the anomaly becomes more pronounced. Therefore, it is better not to postpone its correction “for later”.

How to correct different types of lips?

We have given all the basic principles of visual lip reduction/enlargement above. By skillfully using them you can not only change the shape of thin or thick lips. By applying these methods in practice, you can also achieve a more perfect look for lips that are too long, disproportionately wide, or simply small. And to make it easier to figure out how to do this, we suggest using a hint in the form of the following diagram:

In conclusion, I would like to note that there is nothing particularly difficult in visually changing the shape of the lips. The main thing is to correctly determine what suits you best and find the most successful color solutions when choosing a lipstick or contour pencil.

Problem: lips are too thin

If you have thin lips and consider this a disadvantage, here's what you can do.

Be sure to use a contour pencil. It should be a natural shade. Outline your lips with it, slightly going beyond their contour - but only slightly! The indentation should not be more than one millimeter. Otherwise, the result will look unnatural.

Choose light lipsticks with shimmer or pearlescent sheen, as well as liquid lipsticks that create a glossy finish. They help give your lips extra volume.

Do not use matte lipsticks - their texture significantly “eats” the volume.

Beware of buying lipsticks in dark shades and cool tones: these will visually make your lips look smaller.

Problem: too plump lips

For some, plump lips are an unattainable dream, while for others they are classified as a “nightmare”. If your lips seem too large or plump, there is also a way out of this situation.

Use light-colored lipsticks with a matte texture.

When creating your makeup, highlight your eyes to draw attention away from your lips.

Do not try to change the size of your lips by narrowing their outline with a pencil.

Avoid products with a glossy sheen.

Fashion is a very changeable concept

Angelina Jolie's beautiful female lips This applies both to clothing and to the features of a human, and especially a female face.

Lip fashion is as fickle as the length of a woman's dress. For centuries, small and large lips, pale and bright red, narrow lips and bow lips have been in fashion, and now it’s the turn of wide lips.

The fashion for plump lips in the style of “Angelina Jolie” reached its popularity in the nineties of the last century. It was during this period that lips became the main feature of the face.

And all attempts by fashion designers to shift attention to the eyes were unsuccessful and until now the situation has remained virtually unchanged.

Beauties from all countries strived to be the owners of voluminous, bright, sensual, sexy, sensual, seductively alluring lips. The kind of lips that make men dream of kissing.

But practice shows that more does not mean that it is better. Any plastic surgeon can name thirteen points that reflect the beauty of the lips.

And size is far from the first place.

The very first sign of beautiful lips is their correct proportions and natural appearance. And now, the time has come when many girls begin to realize this and look for a way to correct the shape and volume of their lips, trying to return them to normal size after an operation to enlarge them.

LIPOGRAFTING

In recent years, the lipografting procedure has been actively used. This technology allows you to restore volume or simply restore dry skin on any part of the body using a preparation prepared from the patient’s own fat cells. Dr. Gagarina recommends combining intimate rejuvenation using the patient’s own fat with liposuction. During liposuction, up to 3-4 liters of fat are removed. Why should such a valuable product go to waste? If it can be used for your own benefit! Using special equipment during liposuction surgery, material is prepared that can be used for lipografting of the vagina or external genitalia. An additional advantage of lipografting is that the correction material is your own tissue, which means rejection and allergic reactions are excluded!

We asked Professor Gagarina to answer the most pressing questions of non-surgical rejuvenation of the intimate area.

Lip augmentation with cosmetics

How to enlarge your lips step by step with makeup? The girl has everything she needs for this: lipsticks, glosses, pencils.

1. Lip gloss

The texture of the gloss helps correct any lip shape.

Before applying makeup, you need to make sure that the product is selected correctly.

What to pay attention to:

It’s good when the gloss contains sparkles or has a pearlescent effect. Small particles will shimmer beautifully in the sun and give your lips the desired swelling.
For everyday makeup, glitter should not be very large. These glosses are only suitable for evening makeup.
Tinted glosses are an ideal solution for adding volume. They create the desired shade and at the same time solve the problem of thin lips.
Any product should be applied to moisturized and well-groomed lip skin.

Using gloss is not difficult: it is evenly distributed over the entire surface of the lips. To enhance the effect, you can apply several layers.

To keep your lips looking perfect all day, you need to refresh your makeup and touch up those places where the shine has worn off.

2. Lipstick

The desired effect is achieved with the help of lipstick. You just need to choose the right tone and texture.

It is better to avoid matte lipsticks in dark colors. They will accentuate thin lips and attract extra attention. Your choice should be pastel lipsticks with a glossy finish.

Lipstick should not extend beyond the contour - it looks unnatural. It’s also not worth changing the shape of your lips with it.

It is better to apply lipstick using a special brush. Experts say that this way the product lies more evenly and is distributed more evenly over the surface.

3. Foundation

Knowing how to enlarge lips with makeup at home, girls can achieve the appearance of a fashion model. Every fashionista today uses highlighters, concealers and foundations. Using all the tools together allows you to draw perfect lips.

How to make your own lips smaller

There are situations when just makeup is not enough: for example, lips are too disproportionate. Is it possible to reduce lips that are naturally large?

In this case, one cannot do without plastic surgery, the so-called reduction cheiloplasty. During the operation, a plastic surgeon removes some tissue through an incision on the inside of the lips. This allows you to subsequently avoid an unsightly scar on your lips.

Strict compliance with all requirements after surgery will require only two to three weeks of rehabilitation.

Problem: lack of volume

Perhaps the most common problem is insufficiently voluminous lips. There are many ways to solve this problem too.

Draw the outline of your lips with a nude pencil.

Use products with shimmer for lip makeup. Another trick is to add a drop of clear gloss to the center of your lips on top of your colored lipstick.

Learn lip contouring techniques. It is performed in several steps. Apply concealer to your lips to even out their surface, fill in the center of your lips with a light pencil, and apply lipstick on top. The light “core” will stand out and create a volume effect.

Gradient lip makeup is another trick to achieve volume.

INJECTION TECHNIQUES

For those who are concerned about the problem of dryness or lack of volume in the tissues of the intimate area (for example, too loose entrance to the vagina or sagging labia majora), we recommend injection methods of correction with natural hyaluronic acid gel. With its help, we not only eliminate the volume deficit, but also restore the natural level of tissue moisture. Since hyaluronic acid attracts liquid, it helps solve problems with dry mucous membranes and restore tissue turgor. Women all over the world have been using this drug for many years, which has confirmed its highest effectiveness and safety (hyaluronic acid is a natural drug that is produced in sufficient quantities by young tissues, so it does not cause allergic reactions, inflammation or other unwanted side effects). Injections are carried out under local anesthesia and are painless. The procedure takes 20-30 minutes.

Expert opinion on lip reduction

The famous plastic surgeon Andrei Iskornev believes that the size of the lips is not the most important indicator of their attractiveness. For plastic surgeons, beautiful lips must meet as many as 13 points, among which the main ones can be identified:

The upper lip should be one and a half times smaller than the lower lip.
When a woman's face is calm, the nasolabial fold should be clearly visualized.
When a woman smiles, 2/3 of her upper teeth are visible, while her lower lip only reveals the edges of her lower teeth.
The mouth should have a clear outline.

The main thing, according to the expert, is that the lips are proportional. If nature has blessed you with lush lips, do not rush to take radical measures to change their size. It’s another matter if a large, disproportionate mouth is the result of unsuccessful gel augmentation. Here plastic becomes not a whim, but a necessity. Next we will talk about ways to reduce large lips, pumped up with gel and given by nature.

Lip reduction with makeup

If you are one of the girls whose lips are naturally too large, you will be wondering what ways there are to make your lips smaller without surgery. This can be done with makeup or with the help of a cosmetologist. Experts recommend the following techniques:

Matt lipstick. All makeup artists know that the matte texture of lipsticks hides volume. If you are looking for ways to make your lips appear smaller at home, try this option. Choose discreet shades, closer to neutrals.
Focus on the eyes. Try to distract attention from large lips by wearing bright eye makeup, while covering your lips with a colorless balm or nude lipstick.
Correct technique for applying cosmetics. Try painting your lips this way: along the contour, use a pencil a tone lighter than the skin of your lips, and apply lipstick a tone darker in the center. This technique can visually reduce the volume.
Concealer. The corners and outline can be visually “moved” using a beige pencil. Some girls use foundation for this purpose. However, the cream is not very suitable for application to the skin of the mouth; it can behave capriciously and after a while get clogged into folds.
Tattoo. If you are wondering whether it is possible to reduce your lips in a cosmetologist's office, know that it is possible. By making a tattoo along the contour with a light shade, you can visually reduce the size of your lips.

Properly applied make-up can make your lips appear smaller without surgery; the main thing to remember is that pearlescent and glossy coatings make your lips look fuller, and therefore you need to avoid them.

Lip reduction after unsuccessful lip augmentation

With the advent of the ability to enlarge lips, the demand for lip reduction has also increased. Not everyone likes the look of a face with new volumes, and for some, the experience of pumping up the lips becomes a real disaster that disfigures the face. As a rule, the second option applies to those women who have encountered biopolymer gels: polyacrylamide, silicone gels and Formacryl. Unlike more expensive self-absorbing gels, the above bio-gels migrate in 90% of cases, forming compactions and giving the face a “duck effect”.

If you're wondering if it's possible to make your lips smaller after lip augmentation, the answer is “Yes!” Today specialists have this opportunity. The operation flow looks like this:

The surgeon makes an incision on the inside of the sponge.
Then, through this incision, the specialist removes the previously injected gel.
Next, the shape of the mouth is corrected by removing excess skin.
At the end of the operation, an internal cosmetic suture is applied.

In the first days, there may be a change in sensitivity, a feeling of “emptiness”, and slight numbness. At first, the result may not look aesthetically pleasing: bruises, bruises, swelling and asymmetry are possible. After about 2-3 weeks, the suture site will heal, and you will be able to see the final result after 3 months. On average, to reduce lips after lip augmentation, you will need to pay about 40 thousand rubles.

Surgical reduction of natural lips

If your lips are naturally full, but the methods described above for how to reduce lips at home are unacceptable to you and you are determined to take drastic measures, we will tell you how to reduce lips surgically. The procedure for the operation looks almost the same as for reduction after “pumping” with gel:

Based on the patient's preferences, both local and general anesthesia can be used.
The plastic surgeon outlines the line along which the operation will be performed.
Next, the specialist excises a thin strip of tissue from the mucous membrane from corner to corner. The plucking technique is used during the excision process. Using a special instrument, the surgeon cuts small pieces of tissue and then cuts them out with scissors.
A cosmetic suture is placed, which will be located inside the mouth and will not be visible to others.
After about an hour, the patient can go home.

The postoperative period lasts up to 3 weeks. In the first week, it is worth limiting the manifestations of facial expressions; to speed up the healing of the suture, it is recommended to rinse the oral cavity with antiseptics, for example, a solution of Chlorhexidine, Eludril or Miramistin. Since during the rehabilitation period the lips will tend to become dry due to swelling, it is recommended to lubricate them with Vaseline.

Contraindications to surgery

Surgical methods for reducing lips have a number of contraindications. These include:

Heart diseases.
Diabetes.
Pregnancy and lactation period.
Herpes.
Oncology.
Poor blood clotting.

If your desire to change the volume and size of your lips is not a whim, but a necessary measure, modern plastic surgery can give your face harmony and correct proportions. Girls who just want to correct their shape should try the makeup technique demonstrated in the video.
