It is no secret that having big lips has recently become one of the most sought after beauty trends. Celebrities openly talk about getting collagen injections and using various plumping techniques to get their desired big lip look.

The “Kylie Jenner Lip Challenge” became a viral video challenge on social media in 2015, where people used various techniques in attempt to achieve the ‘Kylie Lip Look’ See below: 

Lip plumpers are a gloss-like topical serum, which you apply on your lips, that are said to have active ingredients, like cinnamon oil, that irritates the skin on the lips and causes them to slightly swell. Beauty is pain, right? Many lip plumpers also use an array of ingredients that cause your blood vessels to widen, which opens them up for more blood flow, and ultimately gives your lips a fuller look. But, do they work? Lip plumpers cannot promise results on everyone because everyone has a different skin type. Cinnamon oil won’t irritate everyones skin and ingredients that are supposed to make your blood vessels open up react differently on everyone. You know your skin best, but the only way to know if lip plumpers work for you is to try them for yourself. Some brands work on certain people while other brands don’t. Lip plumping is a process of trial and error.

The most popular lip plumpers currently on the market are:

• Fusion Beauty LipFusion XL
• City Lips Lip Plumper
• DuWop Lip Venom
• Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme
• Dior Addict Lip Maximizer High Volume Lip Plumper
• Soap & Glory Super-Colour Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Plumping Gloss

Hopefully you can find one that works for you! Or “Kylie Lip Challenge” for the rest of your days. Happy plumping!
