Whether you swear by your standing lip filler appointment or have a strict no-needles policy, the best lip plumpers are the perfect pick-me-up for every pout. These glosses and balms work by creating temporary, localized swelling in the lips using naturally derived ingredients like cinnamon, ginger, and peppermint, and active ingredients like hyaluronic acid, resulting in a fuller, glam look.
While injectables can deliver fuller lips, they’re costly and require a lot of painful upkeep. That’s why we set out to find the best lip plumpers that deliver noticeable cushioning with the easy wear of a gloss.
Below, we’ve rounded up our tried-and-tested edit of the best lip plumpers, from natural, everyday options to more statement finishes.
Baby Bright Plump Rejulight Jelly Tint
For a nice pop of colour on the lips, Thai beauty brand Baby Bright’s jelly tint delivers with a wide range of shades–from soft nudes to vibrant tones. We love its lightweight, comfy formula, and mirror-like shine, all wrapped in a super chic packaging that’s as stylish as it is functional.
Dior Addict Lip Maximizer
This gloss has an impressive shade range—28 beautiful hues to choose from. While there is a light, tingling sensation when applied, it wore mostly like a regular lip gloss that added a nice touch of shine and hydration to the lips, but sans any noticeable plumping results.
Kiko Milano Lip Volume Gloss
Kiko does a range of affordable lip products, including this lip volume gloss that works to combine the benefits of a balm and an oil. The result is a super nourishing formula that feels comfortable to wear and glides onto the lips in seconds.
These easy-to-use lip plumpers are proof you don’t always need to hit aesthetic clinics and break the bank for some juicier-looking smoochers.
