Homemade Lip Plumper

Looking for a simple, natural way to get that plump lip look? Have fuller-looking lips instantly with this homemade lip plumper! Made with just two simple ingredients, this DIY lip plumper is very effective and moisturizing.

What is Lip Plumper?

Lip plumper is a beauty product designed to give your lips a fuller look. It uses a gentle irritant to increase blood flow to the area, providing a temporary plumping effect for the lips.

There are a variety of lip-plumping products on the market, but you can make your own lip plumper at home for a fraction of the cost! With just two natural ingredients that you may already have on hand, you will have voluminous lips in minutes.

About the Ingredients

Cinnamon: The key ingredient, cinnamon is a natural irritant that will plump the lips by increasing blood flow to the area. All lip plumpers have some sort of irritant, but cinnamon is a gentle option. To be cautious, we use a very small amount in our recipes. We prefer to start with less and add more if needed.

Base Oil: Your lip plumper will need something to make it spreadable so the cinnamon adheres to your lips. For these homemade lip plumper recipes, we are using nourishing carrier oils to moisturize your lips as you use the product.

Note: Even though this is a homemade lip plumper, it’s always a good idea to prioritize safety. Patch test a small amount on your inner arm before applying it to your lips. This will help you identify any potential irritants or allergens you might not be aware of.

Discontinue use immediately if you experience any redness, itching, or other adverse reactions. When in doubt, consult a dermatologist before using any new product on your lips. Remember, everyone’s lips react differently!

How to Use DIY Lip Plumper

Using DIY lip plumper is very quick, and you’ll typically notice fuller lips immediately! We recommend using it right before applying other cosmetic lip products, such as our DIY lip gloss, tinted lip balm, or homemade lipstick.

Your lips will be softer, fuller, and ready for the rest of your makeup routine! To use a lip plumper, simply apply it to your lips using your finger or a lip product applicator. Allow the plumper to sit on your lips for a few minutes, then wipe it off. You may notice a tingling sensation in your lips after use; this is normal.
