How to Upgrade Your Lip Look—and Not Just with Lipstick 1. Exfoliate + Protect A waxy balm with sunscreen or full-coverage lipstick keeps your lips hydrated and protected. If they’re already chapped, slough off flakes with a lip exfoliator. 2. Don't Skip Serum Look for a lip serum or a cream that contains antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, and peptides. 3. Consider a Filler "Our lips begin to lose volume at 18 years old," says Jody Comstock, M.D. 4. Adult-ified Lip Gloss A light-reflective finish creates the illusion of bigger lips. 5. Color Play Try using a different shade on each lip. A lighter shade on top will make the upper lip look bigger.
