3 needle-free ways to volumise your lips
Plump your pout in less than 10 minutes!
Plump your pout in less than 10 minutes!
True story: as we age, our lips thin. “Collagen in the skin above the lip relaxes,” says dermatologist Robert Anolik. “This causes the upper lip to turn down and in.” However, the needle isn’t for everyone. Try these at-home formulations for more subtle volumising.
1
Lip gloss
Old-school plumping glosses used bee venom to puff. Now, pain-free peptides stimulate collagen to fill out lips, while shimmer fakes fullness instantly. We like Elizabeth Arden Beautiful Color Luminous Lip Gloss in Sweet Pink.

Lip mask
Like a gel sheet mask for your lips, Skyn Iceland Plumping Lip Gels douse your smackers (and the surrounding skin) with advanced plant- and marine-based actives. After 10 minutes, you’ll see more volume from the extra moisture, and your lipstick will go on smoother.

Lip balm
Beyond the ultra-nourishing combo of 100 per cent pure argan oil and moringa butter, Josie Maran Argan Lip Sting Plumping Butter uses a lip-plumping complex that boosts circulation in your pout for that luscious, full look – both instantly and long-term.
