The 17 Best Lip Plumpers for Maximum Volume
No over-lining or injections required.
By 
Lip glosses, lip scrubs, and lip masks can help moisturize your lips and add a bit of shine, but if you're looking to quickly boost the volume of your lips with minimal effort, swiping on one of the top-rated lip plumpers is the next best thing to scheduling an actual injection with a professional. Each of these volumizing products are applied like your go-to gloss or favorite lip balm, and as an extra bonus, there's zero downtime needed for recovery afterwards.
For those on the fence about getting a filler—or simply in-between doctor's appointments—lip plumping formulas from top brands like Dior Beauty, Algenist, La Mer, and more can help enhance your natural contours or re-define your face without going overboard. Whether you're looking for a high-shine finish or supreme, lasting hydration, we've rounded up 17 of the very best lip plumpers to shop now, that come both beauty enthusiast- and editor-approved.

I was already using their lip sleep mask at night, so I'm glad I could keep adding to my Cosrx collection. I put this plumper on about 5-10 minutes before I want to put on lipstick or gloss and just dab some Read more about review stating I love this little plumper!off before I do. My lips look slightly fuller and slightly more pouty under my lipsticks now. -Naima |

| Customer Review | "The sticker shock had me a bit I skeptical, as well as already having tried everything on the market only to be disappointed by the results. I’m an RN & have to wear a flippin’ mask for 16 hour shift so my lips just stay dried & cracked. But this tube of magic, well it’s just magic! When I opened it, i wasn’t fond of the smell & as a result, I almost didn’t it. I went ahead & applied it because I was going to bed so I figured I’d fall asleep & it wouldn’t bother me. I was right. I woke up to my lips being hydrated, smooth & NOT A SINGLE CRACK! I truly can’t believe how well this works & will be purchasing an extra tube to carry in my bag & ensure I won’t run out. AMAZING" - Jennifer M. |

Natura Bissé Diamond Lip Booster
Natura Bissé Diamond Lip Booster
Pros
- Protects lips
- Great for mature skin
Cons
Antioxidant turmeric oil, hydrating omega 3, and vitamin E team up to add plumping moisture and protection against environmental damage (which can make lips appear thinner over time).
| Customer Review | "I'm so happy to find a lip plumper that does just that, while moisturizing and alleviating chapping. Yes, it does "tingle" which is making the lips plumper. It does cost but lasts a long time because I don't have to use much. I use it before lipstick and allows lipstick to last longer and provides a nice shine. It's the best!" |
