You can use lip plumper with lipstick by applying either the lip plumper first or the lipstick first, depending on your preference.
Steps for Using Lip Plumper and Lipstick
Here's a breakdown of how to effectively use both lip plumper and lipstick:
-
Prepare Your Lips:
- Begin with clean, dry lips.
- Make sure your lips are moisturized before applying any product.
-
Options for Application Order:
- Option 1: Lip Plumper First:
- Apply a thin layer of lip plumper to your bare lips.
- Wait a few minutes to allow the plumping effect to take place.
- Once the plumper has settled, apply your chosen lipstick over the top.
- Option 2: Lipstick First:
- Apply your lipstick to your bare lips as you normally would.
- Then, carefully apply a thin layer of lip plumper over the lipstick.
- Note that applying lip plumper over lipstick can slightly dilute the lipstick.
- Option 1: Lip Plumper First:

Considerations:
- Applying a lip balm before either lip plumper or lipstick can help to moisturize and create a barrier to lessen the tingling from the lip plumper, according to the provided reference. This suggests that you could also apply lip balm before applying either the lip plumper first or the lipstick first.
- Using a lip balm, such as a Hyaluronic Lip Balm, or a lipstick before the plumper will not stop the product from working, but it can lessen the tingling effect.
- Experiment with both orders to find what works best for you and achieve your desired look.
