Many people in this day in age love to have the appearance of lush, full lips. Full lips on a woman is a sign of beauty and seduction. Guys go crazy for it. This is why a lot of women strive to get this look going for them.

If you happen to be someone who is not blessed with luscious, full lips, then there is a way to get them bigger, without the cosmetic surgery of injecting collagen into your lips. There is an easier way, without surgery, called a lip plump.

A lip plumper is a cosmetic product that is used to make lips seem fuller. This lip plumper can vary in tastes and shades of color. Some seem to be see through, or translucent, and some of different tints of different colors. Some of these plumpers are designed to go under lipstick as a base coat, and some are designed to be alone on the lips, as a lone lip gloss. It just depends on which kind you want, and which one suits you more.

The way that these work in making your lips fuller is by actually irritating your lips. Lips have very sensitive skin, and the ingredients in lip plumps such as camphor and menthol irritate this skin. When the lips become irritated, they will then get a slight burning feeling, and start to swell. When they swell, the fine lines and cracks that appear in your lips will start to diminish, and your lips will appear to be fuller.

While the results appear to be really nice for a person with not so full lips, they do not last long. This is a temporary effect, and you will need to keep re-applying more lip plump to your lips to keep them at their fullest size.
