I wouldn't want to try to snog my plumber. He's lovely and very good looking. But also only about 25. Poor boy. I wouldn't inflict that on him!

I was going to suggest a snog could do the trick!
I know a very nice plumber I could recommend ?

Thought you were hoping for a snog with a plumber to plump up your lips!!! {grin}

They all look like cod's heads with lips like that----awful.

Masks have their advantages but obviously you wouldn't wear one when teaching online.

Didn't they call them beestung lips, Gagajo - not that I recommend that as a treatment.

You could try Avon as Kalu suggests

I didn't say you could post my picture!

Sorry, didn't mean to frighten anyone!

You could try using lip liner like this.

I’m only 69 but my lips of all but disappeared..?

Kalu Sun 06-Feb-22 10:04:14

The Avon one I mentioned isn’t a lip gloss GagaJo

I personally do not bother especially now I wear a mask and the way things are going it may well be a permanent feature when I step outside my front door.

GagaJo Sun 06-Feb-22 09:39:09

Hahaha, my plumbing is ok!

I'm not a fan of lip gloss unfortunately, and most lip plumpers are in gloss.

Yes Fanny. It did make my lips tingle. I'd even pay to get that particular lip balm imported, but it's discontinued now.

Bare minerals plumping lip glosses are excellent.

I have been using Avon lip plumper along with a nude lip liner pencil GagaJo, I also use the liner to cover my lower lip well which gives a fuller effect as my lips are losing a natural lip line. Not that there is any point doing this if I am going out which requires wearing a mask. ?

I think that enlisting the help of a plumber is a bit drastic Jo!

I remember a lip balm like that.
I’ll have a think - did it make your lips tingle?

You can't get a plumber for love nor money here, Gagajo, I feel your pain!

Have you thought of using a lip pencil to outline your lips? In my youth, I had a perfect cupid's bow.?, now my lips look more like the arrow .?

Most make up collections contain a lip plumper I’m not sure how you’ve missed them.

I used to have a nicely shaped mouth. Sometime over the last 10 years, my lips have thinned.

In the past (overseas) I used a very natural looking lip balm that incidentally had a plumping effect. I haven't been able to find anything similar here. Similar colours (very sheer peach / pink) but without the plumping.

I hasten to add that I'm NOT vain. Just trying to appear less elderly in my online teaching, to help me remain employed!
