Not long ago, Anushka Sharma's full lips were talk of the town as they made headlines. Attention has however been diverted to her brilliant performance in PK and more recently in the high intensity thriller NH10, India Today reported.
Having had her lips enhanced artificially for an upcoming role, fuller lips are a trend that won't be going anywhere, anytime soon.
Here's how you can cheat your way to fuller looking lips.
Light is right
Darker colours can make your lips look smaller than they are. A light shade on the other hand makes your lips look lush.
Avoid plums and wines and opt for neutrals, light pinks or shades in warm tones like oranges and reds to make your lips look fuller. Think Anushka Sharma's colour palette from PK.
High shine
Instead of a matte finish, go for lipsticks that provide sheen to your lips. Work some physics into your lips, and play along with light as shinier means bigger.
A lip gloss is a great to-go product for plumping that pout. Dab some onto the center of your upper and lower lip for maximum impact.
If you aren't a fan of lip gloss then you can use some glittery eyeshadow or frosted powder to achieve the same effect.
The magic of white
After you have applied your lipstick, add some white liner on to the center of your lips. Blend it in.
The 3D effect created by the use of white will make your lips appear bigger.
Lip liner is a magic wand
A lip liner is truly a magic wand. Use a liner, two shades darker than the colour of your natural lips and draw outside your natural lip line.
This will help you level out your cupid's bow and make your lips look bigger in seconds.
Cinnamon kiss
Besides it's yummy smell, cinnamon is known for its natural lip plumping properties.
Apply some cinnamon oil before applying lipstick or mix in a drop into your lipbalm for an all time lush effect.
Conceal
Apply some concealer or foundation around the outline of your lips.
The lighter outline gives the illusion of full lips and even covers up any application mistakes.
