To make your own lip plumper, add a few drops of wintergreen, cinnamon, and menthol essential oils to a container of pre-made, clear lip gloss. An alternative is to add these same essential oils to a small amount of petroleum jelly. The resulting mixture can be applied to naked lips with the excess gently wiped away. You should notice a slight burning and redness after application followed by the appearance of slight lip swelling. Another way to make lip plumper is to mix two part Vaseline with one part bee's wax. The essential oils can be added to this mixture and then stored in a small jar in the refrigerator to keep it fresh. Another natural substance that's known to have an irritating effect on the lip surface is cayenne which can slightly plump up the lip surface when added in small amounts to lip gloss. Just be careful not to add too much which could have some unpleasant side effects.


When you make your own lip plumper at home, you can avoid paying the high prices you'll almost certainly encounter at cosmetic counters. Plus, you'll know you're using only natural ingredients which is not always the case with commercial lip plumpers.

Will lip plumpers give you the lip fullness you're looking for? They may help as long as you realize the results will be slight and only temporary. They can be a nice way to subtly enhance your lips for a special night out.
