Lip plumpers are a cheap and instant way to get fuller, bee-stung lips à la Angelina Jolie — no needles necessary.

The best lip plumpers can subtly add shape and volume to your lips without making you look like you got punched in the kisser. A bad lip plumper, on the other hand, can leave you with red, flaky, burning lips.

So, even with non-surgical lip plumpers, there's minor risk involved. That's why we had our most courageous readers review hundreds of lip plumping products to find the best and the worst. Read on to find out which best lip plumpers are worthy of your pucker — and which ones to pass up.

Worst Lip Plumper No. 2: Physicians Formula Plump Potion Needle-Free Lip Plumping Cocktail, $10.49
TotalBeauty.com Average Member Rating: 6.4*

Why: TotalBeauty.com readers were torn on the benefits of this lip plumper. While one user gave it a rating of 10 out of 10 because it "looks great," she admits that it can get "sticky" — an aspect that most users couldn't overlook.

Other reviewers describe the stickiness as "uncomfortable," adding that the accompanying tingle is "irritating."

Worst Lip Plumper No. 1: E.L.F. Studio Lip Primer & Plumper, $3
TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 5.7*

Why: Reviewers agree that though the primer in this two-in-one product is useful, the plumper does not live up to expectations. "The plumper part is just like a cinnamon gloss," one user writes. "I don't even use it." Others experienced burning and allergic reactions to the plumper. "The plumper made my lips break out in a rash for a week," another reader writes. "Don't waste your money."

Best Lip Plumper No. 8: Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme, $28
TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 7.4*

Why it's great: "Of all the plumpers I've tried so far, this is the only one that gave me the instant gratification I was hoping for," one reader writes. "It swells my lips substantially and provides a glossy sheen."

Reviewers note that the product creates a stinging sensation, so they recommend applying by dabbing it in the center of your bottom lip and carefully blending outward. Luckily, "the gloss is not sticky or goopy, and smells amazing."

Best Lip Plumper No. 7: City Cosmetics Advanced Lip Plumper Formula, $35
TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 7.6*

Why it's great: If you're looking for a product that deeply hydrates as it plumps, here is your pick. Readers say this gloss "feels so silky on your lips" and boasts a mild tingling sensation — "enough so you know it's working, but not at all bothersome."

As for the results? "This is one of the first lip plumpers I have tried that actually [makes] a difference," writes one reviewer. "After trying so many I didn't think it was possible without injections, and then I tried this — very happy with it!"
