The best lip plumpers to perfect your pout

Don’t get us wrong, we adore a velvety matte lip. Juxtaposed against a perfectly sculpted mien, the right shade will pull out your most striking features and elevate your overall look. But as we’re fairly cognisant of the beauty trends and looks that came with the revival of the noughties, our attention has veered towards shiny gloss and lip plumpers, which have successfully made their comeback—into the open arms of our beauty arsenals and TikTok FYPs. Read: the iconic Clinique Black Honey and the cult famous Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb, just to name a few. Safe to say, our favourite celebrities are no exception to the allure. In the past years, we’ve seen stars like Dua Lipa, Hailey Bieber and K-pop stars from Blackpink to NewJeans don on glossy sheens in their glam close-ups.

Trends and fads aside, we found that crossing over to glossier side meant many great returns. A fuss-free make-up routine without fretting too much if your matte lip would stray from the lines; hello to hydration; and a seemingly fuller lip to show for. Quite a satisfying feat, especially if you haven’t quite entertained the prospect of lip fillers. So before we knew it, a lip gloss became the default everyday product to have in our purses—whether for occasions when our lips felt chapped or just to swipe on a sheen of colour on the go.

On that note, Vogue Singapore presents the best lip plumpers to snag, all for greater good of high shine and maximum impact.
