One of the most popular beauty trends right now is big, pouty lips. Unfortunately, not all of us can pay for lip injections like Kylie Jenner, but there are cheaper ways to get the fuller-lipped look!

If you’re looking for a more natural or budget-friendly way to get bigger-looking lips, you’ve come to the right place. A few makeup tricks with a special product will be able to get your lips looking perfectly plump!

Try using lip gloss with lip-plumping ingredients like collagen or hyaluronic acid. According to Harper’s Bazaar, these ingredients absorb water and gives your lips a swollen effect. Many of the ingredients in lip plumpers act as irritants to the sensitive skin on your lips, causing them to swell.

Other ingredients to look for in lip plumpers include cinnamon, wintergreen, capsaicin (the spicy chemical in chili peppers), caffeine, ginger and menthol. However, don’t wear lip plumpers all day every day--they’re irritants and can make your lips dry and cracked when applied excessively. Many of the ingredients in this product are also allergens. So make sure you’re not allergic to any of the ingredients listed in your lip plumping gloss!
