How to improve thin lips

5 replies

I have thinish lips. I don’t want injectables. But is there anything any of you use to plump your lips?

I ask because I began watching a verrry long advert on youtube. A woman (American, middle aged, pretty, nice lips) claimed she was using some sort of conditioner that had gradually improved and plumped her lips, by some millimetres, apparently. She said it wasn’t one of those products you needed to apply and reapply endlessly (I’ve tried those before, years ago - the type that ‘inflamed’ your lips but only seemingly for a v short while rather than a long lasting balm). Anyway, the ad went on and on and I gave up after a few mins. It was annoying.

But is there some elixir that I’m unaware of, or that helps plump your lips in some way?

Those ads are all scams. Hi smile tooth whitening, il makiage foundation etc They’re just shit products that do nothing but they make sales due to the social media hype phenomenon

Most of the ads use filters to con you. Hi smile definitely does. Their products literally do nothing.

Would you not get filler?
I got 0.5ml. Very small amount and nobody even noticed except me.

No cosmetics will work. If you’re against filler you could try a Botox lip flip

@Grapewrath Ohh I’ve not heard of a Botox lip fill. I dont have lip wrinkles, but would like ever so slightly bigger lips. But the idea of injects on lips kinda scares me (I’m 50 and don’t fancy the pouty “sausage lip” look on me!). …I do have Botox on my frown lines tho! So not anti the idea of cosmetic stuff!

@Cosycover the very subtle look v appeals but I’m still a bit scared…. How long does it last? Does it hurt? If no one noticed, do you think it made much of a difference? (Then again, I wouldn’t want ple to notice either!)

thanks @user4750 it did look scammy, tbh!
