For Bigger Lips, Lighter Is Better
For Bigger Lips, Lighter Is Better When choosing a lip color, keep it light to give the illusion of bigger lips, advises celebrity makeup artist and founder of GlossiGirl Cosmetics Stephen Dimmick. "Darker colors only highlight the natural size of your lips," he says. "So if you don't already have full lips, a dark color will accentuate the thinness."

"Instead, choose a shade similar to the color your lips blush naturally," says makeup artist Liz Washer. That means roses, berries and caramels, depending on your natural skin tone. (Try: Yves Saint Laurent Beauty Rouge Pur Couture Vernis a Levres Glossy Stain in Rose Vinyl, $36, or Bobbi Brown Sheer Lip Color in Natural Pink, $27).
