An experienced makeup artist offers her practical advice on how to naturally plump thinning lips without the need for needles or hassle.
One morning, you look in the mirror and stop—something has changed. Perhaps your lips, which used to be soft and pillowy, now appear a little more...reserved, or perhaps your beloved lipstick is not sitting exactly as it used to.

This shift is biological in nature rather than merely a result of time or light.
Collagen and elastin, two powerful proteins that make skin supple, buoyant, and vibrant, are gradually tapered off by our bodies. Without them, skin loses its firmness, and the borders of the lips in particular may begin to look thinner, drier, and less defined.
The good news is that you can achieve a fuller-looking mouth
without the use of fillers or intricate beauty procedures. A makeup artist with almost 50 years of practical expertise says there are easy, subtle ways to make your lips look plump and young without ever entering a clinic.
She offers her tried-and-true methods in this guide, which combine creativity with a thorough knowledge of lip aging. These approaches are about enhancing what is already gloriously yours, whether you are in your 40s, 50s, or beyond.
