1. A lip plumping balm that uses cinnamon, wintergreen, and ginger to help increase circulation to your mouth, resulting in more puffy and fuller lips for you to stare in awe at in the mirror.
The ingredients are also completely vegan and cruelty-free and since the application is so simple, it's definitely made our list of impressive products that work so well and require minimal effort.
Promising review: "I put this on when I start getting ready in the mornings! By the time I’m done I top it with lipstick and wow my lips look great! I do not have to reapply the plumper unless I’m out and about in the evening." —Marlana Westbrook
Get it from Amazon for $15.99.
2. A vegan jelly lip mask you can also use as a plumping primer with a unique formula that warms up to your body's natural temperature, allowing it to melt into your lips almost instantly, so you can rock that bold red lip with confidence.
3. A lip plumper lip gloss with ginger to give your mouth a tingly feeling — but without that burning sensation other plumpers can cause — making this one of the makeup products you'll wish you started buying years ago.
Promising review: "Wow, I'm impressed by this stuff! It's a clear lip gloss — not too thick or sticky, and with a light vanilla scent. I'm not going to lie, this stuff burns (not in a painful way) but you can definitely feel the tingling! I checked my lips a minute later and it looked noticeably fuller! Obviously, no product can give the full effect of lip injections, but this actually works compared to other lip plumpers I've tried which hardly did a thing. My lips look fuller, smoother, and more saturated. I'm really loving this stuff!!!" —K
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in two colors).
4. A lip plumper sleep mask so you can go to bed and wake up with practically injectable level lips — and the best part? No needles required.
If you're a fan of this make sure to add one of these products you’ll probably be glad you bought every time you use them.
Promising review: "My lips were always dry. Like, always. And I did it to myself! I'd lick them and pick at the dead skin until they bled. I tried all the ChapSticks and balms, and some helped, but nothing more than to keep my lips from cracking into a million pieces. I bought this stuff on a whim and used it every night religiously for a week... and let me tell you, I'll continue to do so until the day I die. It goes on like a lip balm and my lips instantly look like I've just scrubbed and moisturized the hell out of them, soft and pink and like they belong on the face of a non-lip-licking and dead-skin-picking fresh-faced twenty-year-old. They look plump and soft and young. I've gotten everyone I know hooked. It's easy to do. You try it once, and you'll use it for life. So if you're on the fence, go for it. For the price, you really can't beat it!" —Ash90
Get it from Amazon for $13.49 (originally $19.99).
5. A hydro-plump treatment that's basically a one-stop-shop for hydration and volume with a thick texture that is basically like a glass of water for your lips.
Promising review: "A little goes a long way. It's a little sticky at first but once massaged in it’s all good. It lasts a lot longer than most lip balms I’ve tried even with a mask on at work all day, including ones more cheap and expensive than this! The plumping effect is also minimal." —sarah40215
6. A Makeup By Mario plumping lip serum you can ditch your old ChapStick for as it hydrates lips using shea butter, while plumping and adding a subtle pop of color perfect for blowing kisses all night.
The applicator was designed with a propel stick for easier application.
Promising review: "Who knew you could get such juicy and plump lips from a stick? I love the cooling sensation and how it's not burning like other lip plumper formulas." —MsHobbs
Get it from Khol's for $22 (available in two shades).
7. A lip plumper serum with collagen that's about to become a regular in your makeup rotation since it's not only packed with natural ingredients that will create a fuller look, but also works to hydrate and smooth your lips so they're ~irresistibly~ soft.
Promising review: "This is my first lip plumper serum that I have tried. I did an experiment where I put it on my bottom lip but not my top lip to see what the difference would be. The bottom lip was more plump and full and rosy in color. The top lip was more wrinkly. The effect lasts about an hour, therefore I needed to reapply to keep the effect going." —Deanna B
Get it from Amazon for $10.98.
8. A pink lip plumper for anyone looking for the glossy shine of a typical lip gloss but also wants to add some ~juicy~ volume using minimal effort.

Promising review: "I love it gives you a tingling feeling but it’s not a big sensation great for beginner plumper. It also plumps them a natural pink glossy color." —Kharmen Cashen (KC)
Get it from Amazon for $6.98+ (available in five colors).
9. An Elf lip plumping gloss versatile enough to go from your mid-week work conference to Friday night drinks without having to stock your purse full of multiple gloss shades.
Promising review: "This has been my go-to lip plumper for years. I have tried lip plumper from prestige beauty brands and this one works better. My favorite shades are Peach Bellini and Pink Cosmo, they are the perfect natural pink nude colors. Both shades look flattering worn alone or over lipstick. The size of the tube is a great deal. The shape of the applicator makes for easy application. This has an instant plumping effect and the plumping effect lasts a few hours." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in five colors).
10. A clear NYX lip plumping gloss that's incomparable to your normal lip gloss since it's made with a creamy texture that will create a pucker-worthy look that you can even top over your favorite lipstick.
Promising review: "Love love love!!! It’s one of my favorite lip plumpers and I barely have an upper lip, so if it works for me it will work beautifully for you! I have a lip regimen to give my lips a fuller look and use the clear as a super shiny wet look lip topper. It really gives my lips a plumper bee-stung pouty look! If you use a clear lip liner and use the lip plumper alone without any color you would still get a great effect — especially if u already have average to plump lips." —Leesy
Get it from Amazon for $6.97 (available in six colors).
11. A stick of lip plumper from It Cosmetics that's called Pillow Lips for a very good reason. Don't be surprised if you find yourself poking your lips in disbelief, because yes, it's truly that good.
You may need to click it up to 10 times for the product to dispense during your first use.
Promising review: "Pillow Lips is the perfect name for this product because not only does it make your lips look plump, but they are also nice and smooth, and it gives your lips the pop you're looking for without being too much! Definitely recommend this product!" —amandawood32

12. A shimmery lip plumper gloss to painlessly increase your lip size and give you that model-worthy pout that'll have you camera-ready for your night on the town.
The lightweight formula uses collagen peptides to help naturally add volume to lips and smooth skin — minus the tacky feeling most lip glosses leave behind.
Get it from Dalynn Cosmetics for $20 (available in seven colors).
13. A Buxom lip plumping liner offering total precision to your lip look and doesn't require you to slather lip gloss everywhere to obtain full volumized lips.
Promising review: "I have used lip-plumping products in the past and they are typically a gloss. With a gloss, you get the intensity and shine. I'm not much of a fan of lip glosses as they can get quite messy. So here is where this lip liner comes into play! I can get the plumping without the mess! It's a very smooth and creamy lip liner that easily blends out into the lips. I also appreciate the mauve color that helps me keep my lips." —AMWord
Get it from Ulta for $18 (available in 10 colors).

Promising review: "Wooooow. Such a great purchase!!! It actually DID plump up my lips to the point that it was very noticeable.
