Lately, we have gotten pretty good at self-improvement. We know how to frizz-proof our locks, flatten our abs, and disguise our dark circles. But all of a sudden, they're everywhere: Big pouty lips of the genetically blessed splashed on the pages of magazines the world over. Are we going to sit back and let the models and starlets have all the fun? No way!
The new lip plumper craze is leveling the playing field by giving us everything they've got (minus the checkered relationship history, thank you). Glosses and lipsticks are being reformulated with the latest technologies to help our lips realize their true pouty potential. Some act instantly, while others provide long-term effects. Either way, now we're practically perfect.
