Have you noticed that women everywhere seem to be flaunting larger, poutier lips?
You probably have. But, why have we associated big lips with beauty?
The meaning behind full lips
Anthropologist Jamie Gordon explains why:
“When you look at the anthropological history of the female body and sexuality, full lips signal not only sensuality, but being excited about having sex,” he says.
A 2010 study showed that “a woman who has large lips, suggesting a strong mating potential, with average length and width ratios will always be more attractive than a woman with narrow lips and average length and width ratios”.
Having said that, it is no wonder young girls and women would do anything to make their lips look fuller.
Be it with injections or home remedies, they have been trying to get that sexy look that seems to drive men crazy.
In case you aren’t a fan of plastic surgery and similar methods, then the following beauty hack is ideal for you.
A natural method
Sagonia Lazarof, a famous YouTuber, shows her viewers how they can get bigger lips just by following three simple steps. No blood or bottle cap sucking involved.
In her video that has gone viral with more than 4.5 million views, Lazarof encourages her fans to follow her three steps to bigger lips “before picking up that needle”.
So, let’s see what these three steps are and if they actually work.
First comes the scrub.
As Lazarof explains, lip exfoliation makes the lips look “immensely bigger”; it gets the blood flowing and, consequently, you get a healthier look and the lips look plumper.
Grab a toothbrush
Lip scrub can be done by either using a toothbrush or a lip scrub. The YouTuber here uses both these methods. She first takes her toothbrush and makes circular motions on her lips. When this is done, her lips indeed look a bit bigger.
Now the lip scrub
Then she moves on to the lip scrub. The one she uses is also edible- how cool is that!
So, Lazarof puts on the lip scrub and, again, makes circular motions for better results. Once she’s done with this step, she’s ready to move on to the next and most crucial one.
Lining the lips
It’s time for overlining! Well, this can make or break your whole look, so you really need to follow her instructions carefully.
The most important tip she gives about overlining is that you should not take overlining all the way to the sides of your lips. You basically just overline the center of the upper and lower lip and then, as you’re moving to the sides, you follow the natural line of your lips.
Her advice is that you use a lip liner that is one shade darker than your natural lips- it could be a nude or pinkish shade, like she uses.
Once you have completed this step, you’re ready to move on to the last one. Lipstick.
As she explains, lipstick is preferable because it sits better on the lips, unlike lip gloss that has the tendency to show the crease on your lips and how much you’ve overlined.
Lazarof uses a matte liquid lipstick, which has an amazing natural finish.
That was it!
So if you want fuller lips, it’s a quick and easy three-step process anyone can do. Watch the video below to see it for yourself.
