maybe subtly.  I thought this was interesting.

If you want your lips to appear fuller:

  • Use lighter colors with glossy finishes. The shine will reflect the light and make the lips appear fuller.
  • Exfoliate your lips with a soft toothbrush or lip scrub, which will not only improve texture but also increase circulation.
  • Apply highlighter or a lighter shade of lipstick to the center of your lips. This will help add dimension to thin or flat lips. A glitter lip gloss applied in the center of the lips will give the same effect.
  • You can also use the techniques you use to contour your face on your lips. Apply highlighter to the cupid’s bow and a soft brown liner under the center of your bottom lip, blending softly with your finger. This will look like a shadow falling from under your lip. 

If you want your lips to look thinner: 

  • Skip the lip liner. Keeping a soft edge to your lips will make them appear smaller.
  • Use neutral tones similar to your natural color. Brights and light colors draw more attention to the fullness. 
  • Use matte or cream formulas to limit light reflecting particles. 
  • If you want a a bolder color, apply a more pigmented color in the center of the lips and blend outwards.

work to change the appearance of your lips with only a few subtle changes.
