If you've always wanted more luscious lips, but you're scared of surgery, Hello magazine could have just the tips to help you achieve your dream lips.
Choosing the right colour is imperative; don't go for tones at either end of the spectrum. The best thing to do is choose a colour that's only slightly darker than your natural tone and let the eyes and cheeks play the starring role.
Shinier lips create a fuller impression, compared with matt-effect lippies which make the mouth appear smaller, according to Hello magazine.
If you want natural-looking lips, choose a satin-effect lipstick and couple it with gloss in the centre to add volume.
Outlining the natural shape of your lips with a shade that's a tiny bit darker than the lip colour will create the illusion of a more luscious pout.
Recently, Glamour magazine suggested moisturising lips with balm before applying lippy would help it stay on for longer.
