This is a really great makeup trick I learned from being on various fashion photo shoots back when I was a model. A pro makeup artist (who was tired of having to reapply my gloss) showed me how to create the illusion of bigger lips using a totally unexpected beauty product: eye shadow. Turns out powder shadow is the best lip plumping technique since lip liner and gloss. Here's how to use it for maximum impact. Try on plumper lips in our virtual makeup studio.
To get big, juicy-looking lips like the models in fashion magazines (or the photo at left), use the tip of your finger or an eyeshadow brush to apply a bit of shimmery eye shadow to the inner-center of your lower and upper lip. Do this after you've applied your lipstick du jour.
You can experiment with whatever lip color combinations you like (pink shadow on red lipstick; pearly white shadow on nude lipstick; gold shadow on apricot lipstick etc), but the shadow needs to be lighter than the lipstick in order to impart an authentic gloss-like finish. The effect is this surprisingly gorgeous, multidimensional sheen that makes the lips perfectly luscious.

Road Test: Do Lip Plumpers Work?
A chance to get lips like Angelina Jolie's without painful injections? Of course we were skeptical, but (we admit it) also a little tempted. In the name of research, we combed the cosmetics counters for the hottest new lip plumpers and came up with a myriad of products all aimed toward boosting your pout.
Some work by irritating your lips with ingredients like cinnamon. (It sounds worse than it is.) Others have moisturizing ingredients that smooth your lips. And some are more like a makeup base ‑- when lipstick is applied over them, your lips look fuller. Then there are the flat-out treatment products, containing ingredients like alpha-hydroxy acids or retinol that are supposed to increase collagen production to give you plumper lips over time. Which product is right for you? It all depends on if you're looking for a quick one-minute lip lift or a long-term bee-stung effect.

Style File: Lip plumpers
Looking for that perfect pout? Forget the injections… Lip plumpers are a beauty must have. Today, Frances Rivera puts the hottest ones to the test when she opens the "Style File".
Want a pout like Angelina? Don't worry; you don't need a needle. Now there are ways to get a celebrity caliber kisser without the injection. They're called "lip plumpers".
Rebecca Pinmental-Moxie
"Very popular right now."
And while they may smear on like a lip-gloss coming in a rainbow array of colors, these babies pack a punch!
Rebecca Pinmental-Moxie
"They basically fool your body to cause the blood to rush to your lips and give you that swelling and giving a more pout appearance."
Rebecca Pinmental of the Beauty Mark on Charles Street says the best part is they work fast!
Rebecca Pinmental-Moxie
"Most of the plumpers work within the first 30 seconds."
So she agreed to help us test some of the most popular ones.
Rebecca Pinmental-Moxie
"Today were going to test Lip Venom, Lip Effects, Lip Fusion, and Plump Lips."
We start out with Laurie Bonner, who is trying Lip Fusion for the first time. Moments later she says the results are more than just lip service.
Laurie Bonner
"I do; I feel like my lips are fuller, especially the top."
Elena Battista goes for the lip Venom. So does she think she has luscious lips?
Elena Battista
"I liked it, it was tingling. I like the color too. I feel like my lips are full, but I also like the shade."
Catherine Uyenoyama says her lips are full, but she wants to give Lip Effects a whirl. She believes the lip plumbing results are eye-catching.
Catherine Uyenoyama
"I think it looks great. I actually notice a difference on the edge and I feel like they got a little pinker - a little bit more lively."
Jessica Lynn decided to try and plump up with Lip Plump. She noticed a difference beyond just color and shine.
Jessica Lynn
"I can see the fullness in my lips as opposed to just the shiny gloss look."
So if your lips are not quite as sensuous as the starts, don't pout. Just pucker up and smile!
