Lipstick is one of the most popular types of makeup after mascara, with around 43 percent of women wearing it regularly. To obtain the perfect pout, some women want to add more color to their lips, while others want to create volume with an overlining technique, and sometimes women do both! Lipstick is so popular that it even got its national celebration day: July 29.
Lipstick looks much better when you have a good canvas to put it on, and for that, you need volume. Unfortunately, not everyone has plump lips, and overlining can occasionally look unnatural. This is where lip fillers come in, as they can temporarily enhance the volume of your pout. Read this blog to find out the benefits of lip fillers!
What Are Lip Fillers?
Lip fillers are gel-like substances injected underneath your skin’s surface to contour, plump, and hydrate it. Depending on the thickness level of the filler, it can offer a more dramatic effect, providing a youthful and much more balanced appearance.
Fillers come in many forms, but the most popular are those based on hyaluronic acid. JUVÉDERM® and Restylane® are favorites among patients, both available in various thickness levels. With minimal healing, you should enjoy plump, voluminous lips that can make your smile and facial features turn heads.
Benefits of Lip Fillers for Lipstick Wearers
Lip fillers bring various benefits, especially if you wear lipstick a lot. Here are the advantages you can enjoy:
-
Added Volume
Having a balanced lip ratio is popular among women. Still, many women lack volume or have asymmetrical lips, causing them to bring their lipstick way past the lip line.
Lip fillers can help increase the size of your lips and the extra volume creates a broader canvas to apply your lipstick on. With this added volume, you should no longer have any need to dramatically overline your lipstick.
-
Moisturizing Effect
Lipstick can look great when combined with the right type of makeup. However, the lipstick can look chalky and otherwise non-attractive if your lips are dry. Many women try fixing this matter with lip gloss, but the effect is short-term.
Lip fillers such as JUVÉDERM® and Restylane® Kysse™ are made from hyaluronic acid, which binds to water particles several times its size. This keeps the moisture on the surface, offering a healthier appeal to your lips. You should no longer have to wear moisturizing lip products to get that beautiful, hydrated aesthetic.
-
Natural Lip Beauty
Some women live for wearing all kinds of crazy colors on their lips, whereas others prefer muted, lip-colored lipsticks. If it weren’t for offering the impression of volume and adding a dose of youthfulness, most women would not wear lipstick.
Fillers can offer a natural type of beauty to your lips, making them appear luscious without looking “done.” Depending on how much filler is used, the results can look like you’ve had naturally full lips your entire life.

Long-Lasting Effect
Perhaps one of the greatest advantages of lip fillers stands in their longevity. While lipstick is usually taken off or fades throughout the day, lip fillers can last for up to nine months. No one will notice if you forget to put your lipstick on the next day.
As a safety measure, it is recommended that you wear sunblock and choose lip-safe formulas. UV rays can potentially destroy hyaluronic acid, so you should always apply a protective balm to protect the filler’s longevity.
