Plump lips remain best makeup look
To me, one of the sexiest makeup looks will always be a plump, full lip.
The world over has obsessed over the pouts of ladies like Angelina Jolie while watching the missteps of stars like Jessica Simpson and her not-so-secret lip injections.
Since most college students will not be paying for lip injections, how do you get this look on your own?
Well, I would venture to say our generation is the lip gloss generation and, in my trials with friends, I have found three brands that hit the mark for a plumper pucker.
For the everyday look on an everyday budget, try Sexy Motherpucker by Soap & Glory Cosmetics. Available at Target for only $9.99, the gloss is available in both nude and shades like plum. Once you put it on, your lips begin to tingle and slowly swell up. Not a very dramatic change, but enough for a daytime pout. And hey, with a name like that, it might give you some attitude as well.
In the middle price range, I found Buxom Big & Healthy Lip Polish by Bare Escentuals. Bare Escentuals is a brand that includes mainly natural ingredients for their makeup, so while your lips get plumper, they are also getting Vitamins A and E, like in a good lip balm. The mauve shade Dolly is my favorite because it enhances the natural shade of my lips so I don’t look like I am wearing anything heavy. At $18 per tube, it is a little more expensive but not too bad, especially if you don’t plan on applying it all day.
By far, the most dramatic change I have noticed in my lips was when I tried Lip Fusion Micro-Injected Collagen Lip Plump by Fusion Beauty. This gloss provides a much fuller lip, due to the collagen in the formula. While the tingle may be off-putting at first, the results are well worth it. It was given to me as a gift, so I am not sure how soon I would spend the $36 for a tube of it, but it remains one of my favorite splurge items.
No matter what your budget, a sexy pout is well within reach so pucker up.

You are so dullllllll. Seriously, tell us something we don’t know. You make every fashion savvy girl at MSU look like a complete idiot. This blog should be called “Obvious things everyone knows,” because you haven’t written a single thing that anyone is remotely impressed by, or even slightly interested in. Ponytails are cool, OMFG! And big lips are hot, AHH!! Imagine that. You don’t even have to read a fashion magazine to know that… you can look at frickin’ Spartan Edge for that knowledge.
Give up your day job. Seriously.

If you don’t like her articles, don’t read them. She gives useful information by critiquing specific brands and someone who is interested in having fuller lips would find that useful.
