How To Use Bronzer To Add Volume To Your Lips — It Looks All-Natural

For any makeup fan, you know how important it is to add dimension to your look. A pop of blush adds a vibrant, flushed look. Contour and highlight can make you appear sculpted. A few strategic dabs of glossy balms can make you look dewy and fresh-faced. A strategic liner placement can make your eyes appear more open and wider. 

Obviously the same rules apply to your lips—adding texture, high points, and shadow can make them look plumper and more voluminous. 

This lip-plumping trick all comes down to bronzer. "Take a cream contour and contour the outside of your lips using a brush," says Trasca, who looks to be using a flat concealer-size brush and Tom Ford's Shade & Illuminate Highlighter & Shader Duet. For a natural dupe of this product, Tower 28's Bronzino Illuminating Cream Bronzer is just as dreamy and has better-for-you ingredients. "Go all around and then blend it right out into the skin. I always have a tissue around to blot any excess product," she continues. Be sure to not skip the blending part, as you're looking for a wash of color—not a straight line. 

After, dip a fluffy brush (something like Sephora Collection PRO Powder Brush will do the job) into the smallest amount of your go-to foundation or tinted moisturizer. Wipe off the excess on your hands, and then gently brush it on and around the lips. "Just stipple it on the lips," she says.
