How To Get A Pouty Mouth

By Alix Strauss

If fuller, poutier lips are your goal, but surgery scares you, you have new options to plump things up. Venom Gloss by DuWop contains such essential oils as cinnamon and ginger, which cause blood to rush to the surface, prompting a collagen-free, bee-stung pout as well as a warm, tingly feeling. Jaqua offers a similar reaction in three confectionary flavors: peppermint stick, creamy cocoa and marshmallow whip. Says Cristina Bartolucci, co-founder of DuWop cosmetics: "Irritating the lips just a touch creates a full and beautiful look." Another product, Plump Your Pucker gloss by the Balm, promises to make lips fuller while reducing fine lines.
