Lip enlarger: real effect or another scam

Spectacularly emphasized eyes or beautifully framed lips are traditionally the main accents in makeup. However, not all girls are lucky enough to have plump, elegant and alluring lips. Some people solve this problem radically - by resorting to surgery or Botox injections. Others prefer various cosmetic products to correct and increase the volume and shape of their lips. And the most “advanced” fashionistas combine the achievements of the cosmetic industry with smart gadgets.

One of these for lips is a plumper - a special device that is easy to use, but guarantees stunning results. What is it and what is it for? How not to make a mistake and choose the right plumper? What do you need to know to use the device correctly? We will talk about all this in our today's review.

What is a plumper

The action of the device is based on the rush of blood to the skin when using a vacuum suction cup. An additional effect can be achieved by treating the device with oils and using lipsticks with a 3-D effect. The peculiarity of such transformation is the short-term result, which lasts no more than a few hours. This is an ambiguous drawback, since thanks to a temporary increase, external changes can be assessed; if the proportions of the face are disturbed, the lips will be restored without consequences in just a couple of hours.

This is also a great way to experiment with volume before adding fillers. In any case, the skin is restored within a few hours without consequences for the body. This is the easiest and safest way to achieve the effect of the injection procedure yourself at home.

2. Medium oval M - used for a medium-sized mouth. It also allows you to enlarge the upper or lower lip separately to achieve symmetry in case of natural disproportion. Can be used both vertically and horizontally. Can be used after the S machine to achieve greater volume.
3. Round L - recommended for achieving the maximum possible volume of plump lips. Not used alone on the lower or upper lip. Can be used after smaller oval suction cups for larger size increases.

Rules for using the magnifier

The plumper requires compliance with basic hygiene, as well as strict manufacturer recommendations. Only in this case will the enlarger be not only safe, but also a useful cosmetic device, replacing filler injections and plastic surgery.

Rules of application:

1. Wash and dry the plumper before use. The surface of the mouth should also be clean, and remove makeup if necessary.
2. Using a medium-hard toothbrush, massage the skin. You can do this with your usual movements by rubbing your upper lip against your lower lip, as if to evenly distribute lipstick.

Attention! Do not overuse the device and use it too often. Its action is based on disruption of blood flow; regular increase can lead to deterioration of the skin condition, dryness, peeling, swelling, and hematomas.

How to use it correctly

The suction cup pump works on the principle of a vacuum can. You need to put it on your lips and draw out the air. After these simple manipulations, blood will not be able to flow to the lips for some time, but after removing the suction cup of the device, the blood flow increases.

If everything is very clear with glitter: it should be applied to cleansed skin, then you need to be careful with the suction cups. It is important to install the suction cup level. Otherwise, the shape of your lips will be deformed.

How to use lip plumpers

There are several contraindications:

1. You should not use an enlarger if you have a lip disease. Their condition may worsen due to impaired blood flow.
2. Do not use the suction cup if there are cracks or wounds.
3. The use of suction cups during a cold is contraindicated.
4. After the procedure, the device must be disinfected with any alcohol-free product.

Efficiency of application

In fact, the device does not enlarge the lips, it only allows you to visually add volume. The effect is short-term and lasts no more than 4 hours. Those wishing to get longer-lasting and noticeable results should make an appointment with a plastic surgeon. The range of applications of the plumper is quite limited - adding swelling, volume, nothing more.

Using the device, you will not be able to change the shape, correct asymmetry, or get rid of scars. Mixed reviews about the enlarger for older women. In the presence of purse-string wrinkles, the use of a suction cup may lead to an increase in the number or depth of wrinkles.

Right choice

If a product is popular, then there will definitely be manufacturers who produce similar products, but of poor quality. Luscious Lips and Fullips are two American companies that produce high-quality products. Their use will not cause harm to health. Distinctive features are:

• The price cannot be less than 300 rubles.
• There must be a quality certificate.
• They sell their products only with the help of trusted companies.

To have beautiful, plump, and attractive lips, you don’t need to undergo surgery or injections. To do this, just use a plumper, which will give your lips volume and attractiveness for a short time.

Choosing the best shine

Shines can be irritating and moisturizing. Let's take a closer look at each of them:

1. Annoying. The composition often includes pepper extract or another plant that can increase blood flow to the skin. In parallel with this, the epidermis dries out, and this drug is not suitable for everyone, because a fairly strong burning sensation may be felt after its use.
2. Moisturizing. The active substance in them is hyaluronic acid or lactic acid. The increase occurs due to the saturation of cells with moisture. The result is plump, beautiful and seductive lips.

As for the other components of plumpers, most often these are oils that moisturize the skin and minimize the likelihood of inflammation. There are gloss options that contain reflective particles. They will also give a visual increase.
