Celebrity makeup artist Kate Synnott shares her expert technique for achieving soft, plump lips: eye contour cream. "Apply eye cream to your lips for deep moisturization, as the skin around the mouth is thinner. Eye creams are delicately formulated—what's ideal for the eyes works wonders for the mouth area, hydrating skin above the lips," she explains to Popsugar.
For optimal results, select an eye contour cream with hyaluronic acid and apply it as a mask, leaving it on for a few minutes before topping with lip balm. Hyaluronic acid retains up to 1,000 times its weight in water, flooding the skin with moisture, according to the artist. Beyond softer, luscious lips, it helps lipstick adhere longer for a flawless finish. Ready to try this pro secret?
