Your lips will always look their best when they are healthy and hydrated, darlings. As well as drinking plenty of water, it’s important to apply an intensive lip product like a lip oil, lip balm or lip mask to help replenish the look of your lips. Lips can easily feel dry and chapped which can lead to a sallow appearance, so applying hydrating lip products like Charlotte’s Magic Lip Oil Crystal Elixir is the secret to keeping them looking nourished and ready for lipstick. When you regularly hydrate your lips, they look naturally plumper and full of life!
Did you know that you can give your lips a contoured effect by using a darker shade of lip liner? Just as you would with your cheekbones, nose, and jawline, you can create a more dimensional lip look by creating a shadow effect with lip liner. Makeup is all about light and shade, darlings… When you glide around the outer edge of your lips with a chocolate brown, cool mauve, deep pink, or rich red lip liner, your pout becomes more defined and looks more prominent on the face.
Tan and deep skin tones will love the contour effect that my Lip Cheat in Foxy Brown gives the lips!
Fair and medium skin tones can use my Lip Cheat in Iconic Nude to create an expertly contoured lip look!
Tilbury Tip: To create a fuller-looking, three-dimensional lipstick look, use a lighter shade of lipstick in the centre of your lips to make them pop!
To make your lips look bigger, you can use lip liner to manipulate your lip shape and create the illusion of fuller, wider looking lips! With a lip liner like my Lip Cheat in Supersize Me, trace along your natural lip line to define its appearance, then glide slightly beyond its natural end to cheat the appearance of bigger lips. Use your lip liner to accentuate the look of your Cupid’s bow and to overline your top and bottom lip, then connect your new lip line with the corners of your mouth to create a more believable shape. Overdrawing your lips is an art and practice makes perfect, darlings!

A slick of lipstick will maximise the look of your pout, darlings! Whether you love a magical matte formula like my Matte Revolution lipstick or the smooth, satin-finish shades from my K.I.S.S.I.N.G collection, applying lipstick is an easy way to make your pout stand out! Lipstick perfects the look of your lips and helps them to appear bigger and bolder – I always say that lipstick is instant confidence and happiness in a tube! Swipe on a beautifying lip colour and it can change the way you look and feel!
Highlighter is a beauty trick that every glow lover needs in their makeup kit! I use highlighter like a light thief, applying it strategically to capture light on the high points and directing people to look at the most lifted, luminous parts of the face. You can use my lip trick to help your lips look bigger, darlings! Take a silky highlighter like my Hollywood Glow Glide Face Architect Highlighter on an Eye Blender Brush, then sweep it onto your Cupid’s bow to make your top lip appear fuller, lifted and even more mesmerising.

While lip liner and lipstick can help to reshape and resize the look of your lips, lip gloss is the secret to creating a three-dimensional lip glow that makes lips appear bigger, fuller, and plumper! I love to apply a glowing lip gloss to give every pout a magical, reflective look. Coating your lips with glimmering gloss like Collagen Lip Bath unlocks gorgeous light play, giving them a mirror-shine, glass-like glaze that’s rich with potent, lip-cushioning collagen for a juicy-looking, plump effect.
Darlings, lip gloss looks magical on the lips, but for that supersizing, maximising, big lip effect, you’ll want to reach for a plumping lip gloss that visibly plumps up the look of your pout. For fuller-looking lips with unbelievable wow factor, discover Pillow Talk Big Lip Plumpgasm!

The secret to making thin lips appear bigger is overlining them with a lip liner. I like to use my Lip Cheat lip liners to sketch out a fuller, wider-looking lip shape that makes pouts that are on the thinner side look instantly more impactful. Lip Cheat is an easy-glide formula that doesn’t skip or budge, allowing you to glide on a perfect lip look, every time. A lip plumper like Pillow Talk Big Lip Plumpgasm can also help to make thin lips look bigger, helping to give even understated lip shapes a pouty, plumped-up appearance.
Yes – as we age, the collagen levels in our skin naturally deplete which can result in lips becoming smaller and flatter. I recommend incorporating collagen into your lip care routine, using a supercharged lip formula to help replenish hydration for a plumping effect. Discover Collagen Lip Bath magical lip gloss formula powered by a plump-effect collagen matrix that helps lips to appear smoother and plumper.
Bigger is always better, darlings! Lip makeup is one of the most transformative parts of any makeup routine, and I can’t imagine a world where delicious, plumper-looking lips aren’t popular. While the lip trends cycle in and out from liquid lipsticks to gorgeous lip glosses and back again, big, beautiful lips will always be a beauty mainstay.
Darlings, my best plumping lip gloss is my Pillow Talk Big Lip Plumpgasm! You’ll be astounded by the effects of this plumping lip gloss! It supersizes, it maximises, it hydrates, and it has a plump effect, making lips look bigger and coating them in the magic of Pillow Talk! Swipe it on, darlings, for the best Plumpgasm of your life!
