DIY lip plumper - Mouths of Mums

Tia Georges – Make-up Artist, shares how to achieve extra fullness in your lips by making your very own lip plumper!

For extra fullness before putting on the lip paste you have made; brush your lips with a toothbrush, this will make the blood rush to the surface of your lips and make them look bigger.

Ingredients:

2 teaspoons of cinnamon
4 cloves
2 teaspoons of granulated sugar
2 tablespoons Vaseline or paw paw
Boiling water (enough to mix Vaseline or paw paw together)

Method:

Mix Vaseline or paw paw with boiling water from the kettle.
Mix in the cinnamon, sugar and cloves.
Make all ingredients into a paste. Once made can be transferred into a little tube or container.
Use a lip brush to spread on lips, the cloves may make your lips sting a little bit. This feeling will make your lips look plumped up.

And then what? Do you rise it if before applying lip gloss? Or do you need to leave the sugar mix on and apply make up over top? Or no make up? Not that I’ll bother, but I am curious

Not sure I want to make my lips sting to get them fuller looking. I am pretty happy with how they are.

Sounds like it might exfoliate and moisturise at the same time. Bonus

Oh my gosh, I love this, such fun however, I’m not a clove lover but thinking it wouldn’t be too overpowering, I must try
