Plump Lips are in

It is to be underscored how for the past many years, women are seeking to get lip fillers to add volume to lips. The trend is reportedly being fronted by A-listers like Angelina Jolie, Kylie Jenner, Lady Gaga, Kendall Jenner and the list will just go on. The enhanced lip trend is not just limited to America. Even the Korean industry that's known for its fetish for makeup is witnessing a trend of lip jobs. However, one need not follow any adulterations or lip fillers to give an enhanced look to their lips. They can be easily given a voluminous look with simple beauty products and Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty’s Gloss Bomb Cream is a case in point. It claims to give a rich balmy and glossy lip colour with medium to full coverage colour. It's available in 5 shades - Mauve Wive, Fenty Glow, Honey Waffles, Cookie Jar and Fruit Snackz that are mostly in darker and neutral hues. However, since it’s glossy and not matt so we cannot assure if it is going to stay for long, but definitely its going to save you from a lip job and any agonizing injectables if all you want is volume. Another option to try is Givenchy’s Rose Perfecto lip balm that claims to give a natural glow and hydration, two important aspects which we cannot ignore especially in summers when dry lips are common. It comes in a wide variety of shades 10 shades but since it’s mostly a gloss balm so the expectation of lasting colour will be futile. However, it can be applied over lipstick for hydration and plumpness. Another glam update is arriving from the newly launched Valentino Beauty. The luxe fashion house has launched its Rosso Valentino Matte Shade A22 that will burst with colour, the moment it’s applied and can be finely used to amplify the volume.
