Lips get their shape and fullness in part from collagen. As we age, our body produces less collagen and the lips start to lose their plumpness. I am experiencing this collagen depletion now.
I have spent much time and money plumping and augmenting my lips with procedures like fillers and even bovine collagen. The bovine collagen injections were many, many years ago and yes, as a vegan of quite some time now and a vegetarian of almost a lifetime, I think back upon that with horror.
Lips are my devotion right now and I am always on the look out for products and makeup techniques that work to plump and create an appearance of fuller lips without having to “fill ‘er up”.
I found an interesting “How to”, 9 Makeup Tricks You Must Know to Fake Fuller Lips, online at Reader’s Digest. At Liveabout.com I found 6 Tips for Fuller Lips
A favorite lip product I recently discovered is Surya Brasil‘s 100% Natural, Vegan & Kosher Tinted Lip Balms. They are an organic and cruelty-free, They keep my lips smooth, and soft and hydrated. They are available in Blood Orange, Coconut Nectar, Pink Grapefruit, Pomegranate, Sugared Fig and Vanilla Dragon Fruit. I have every one. They are $4.99 each.
I am a skin cancer survivor so I must say, don’t skip sunscreen on your lips. If your lip products do not contain sunscreen be sure to put sun protection on first. That is always a must!
