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.
