If you're looking to create the illusion of fuller looking lips, lip gloss is the answer. Not only do lip glosses leave an enviable, glass-like shine, create dimension and give the impression of a plumper pout, they're also often packed with hydrating and nourishing ingredients that lock in moisture to naturally enhance your lips.
