If you want to give your lips a boost without resorting to the needle, lip plumping products could well be your answer. But with so many glosses and balms on the market claiming to transform your pout, it’s tricky to know which will actually work. So, to save you the trouble of sore lips from testing every product, team ELLE have gone and done the hard work for you…
7 lip-plumping glosses:
Combining collagen-friendly MaxiLip and Dehydrated Marine Sponge to support your lips' blood flow, and moisturising jojoba and avocado oil, this product is as serious as it sounds – if you fancy non-sticky and non-drying plumped lips for the night only, that is. Expect a tingling sensation to last for up to ten minutes – and be careful to not go above your lips' natural lines (...in which case, it may sting a little more than it should!)

Non-sticky and non-drying, all while adding a wonderful shine to the lips. This YSL product is a great pick-me-up for when your lips begin to crack midday, and doubles up as a great primer too – smoothing any lines out before you apply a bold lipstick.

The immediate effect: Glossy and subtly plumped lips. For those who have the patience and use the product consistently: A fuller and voluptuous pout. You may feel a slight tingle from the Sichuan pepper ingredient (that's the alkaline pH working), but you needn't worry as the nifty tip applicator pumps out the little serum needed per application.
