Master This Lip-Plumping Color Trick
Master This Lip-Plumping Color Trick Across the board, makeup artists' trade secret for creating bigger lips is this: Use two colors. When applying your lipstick, use a lighter shade in the middle of your bottom lip and a slightly darker shade everywhere else. "It's kind of like contouring for your lips," says makeup artist and Younique presenter Christina Nicholson. "Color in the middle of your bottom lip with the light color [you can also use a white eyeliner here], then use a lip brush to blend it with the other pink or red color you're using," Nicholson explains.

For an extra-big pout, you can also restrict shimmer or gloss to this part of the lip, adds Dimmick.
