1. It all starts with exfoliation
If your lips feel incredibly dry - you aren't imagining it! Dry lips are one of the first areas to dry out as we age.
Have no fear! Dry lips need not stay here!
In the same way exfoliation helps with the skin on our faces and bodies, it also removes dry skin from parched lips.
Easy method: use Vibriance Exfoliating Facial Scrub on your face and mouth to remove dead skin.

Easy method: use Vibriance Exfoliating Facial Scrub on your face and mouth to remove dead skin. A two-in-one? Yes, please!
On the nights you don't use the exfoliating solution, you can take a washcloth or a toothbrush and gently scrub around your mouth, removing the dead and parched skin.

2. Follow with moisture and hyaluronic acid
Now that you have a clean canvas - treat it well!
The kicker here is that moisturized lips are necessary to look fuller. You wouldn't squeeze all the juice out of an orange and then say it looks full. Your mouth is no different.
Since you have removed the barrier of dry, flakey skin - your lips are ready to soak in all the goodness of any products you apply.
Give your mouth a spa treatment with products containing hyaluronic acid. This ingredient acts as a wrinkle filler, plumping lips and helping to fill in the lip lines.
To maintain a moisturized lip, find a lip balm you enjoy and apply it every few hours or whenever your lips feel dry. Tip: use a balm with SPF to also combat the sun's drying out power.
Want a homemade lip mask to soak in extra goodness? Before bed, put on a thin layer of honey. Over the top of the honey, apply a layer of petroleum jelly. Leave this on for 10-15 minutes. Wash off and go to bed.

3. Plump them up
Lip plumpers temporarily swell the lips, giving the effect of fuller lips.
Avoid harsh ingredients in your lip plumper, as they will dry your lips out. Focus on using gentle, safe, and natural ingredients.
Hyaluronic acid has a natural filling effect and works double time as a lip plumper. Imagine finding a lip plumper with hyaluronic acid and ingredients like plant extracts, peptides, and ceramides.
Vibriance Lip Volumizer does just that. Apply it on your newly moisturized lips to get that extra full effect, reducing wrinkles and fine lines.
Bonus tip: add a bit of a highlighter like Illuminate above your Cupid's Bow and right below the fullest part of your bottom lip. This will draw light to this area - giving the appearance of fuller lips.

4. Line your lips
As our lips thin, use a liner to create the illusion of fuller lips. Ensure your lips are exfoliated and moisturized, as a dry mouth and lipliner combo have the opposite effect and draw attention to lip wrinkles.
Moisturized lips allow the liner pencil to glide well. Begin with your pencil just slightly inside from the corner of your top lip.
If you start right at the corners, the color will pull down and bleed.

Moisturized lips allow the liner pencil to glide well. Begin with your pencil just slightly inside from the corner of your top lip.
If you start right at the corners, the color will pull down and bleed. Starting in from the corner prevents this from happening.
As you begin up your lip, slightly overline your lips. When you get to the Cupid's Bow, you can take the line straight across, follow the natural dip of your lips, or stick with somewhere in between.
Repeat on the other side of your lip, following the same pattern and moving toward the middle of your top lip, connecting to the other line.
When it comes to the bottom lip, it is the same basic idea. Start slightly inside from the corner of your mouth, and then as you line, barely overline the lip to create the look of fullness.
When you have a strong line, fill in slightly below the lines with your pencil. If you really want the staying power of your lipstick, fill the entire lip in with the pencil.

5. Bring on the color
Do you want your mouth to look as full as it can? There are some color rules you can rely on.
If your lipstick color is quite dark, you create a thinning effect on your lips. Likewise, matte and sparkly lipsticks bring attention to dryness.
Instead of this, go for a shade that matches the inside of your lips. This will be a bit deeper than your natural lip color. Vibriance Makeup Simplified Radiance is a multi-purpose color stick allows you to customize the color, layering it to get the perfect match!
For a glossy finish, top your color with Vibriance Lip Volumizer. The shine creates the illusion of thick lips. Place the product right in the middle of each lip versus swiping across the entire lip.
Start sweet talking
Just because our lips have changed does not mean we can't still show them off!
A few simple actions will make your lips speak without uttering a word. Although you may need to when your friends ask what your secret is to your new fuller lips.
You deserve to feel good with all your features. So, try a few tricks if your thinning lips have been tugging at you!
And remember, you were beautiful then, and you are beautiful now!
