Puckering Your Lips for a Kiss
Relax your lips. Before puckering your lips, keep them relaxed. Let your lips hang naturally as this will keep them softer and more gentle during kissing. Just before a kiss, pay attention to your lips and make sure you're not tensing them up. To help relax your lips, you can breathe through your mouth slightly to loosen up your lips.
Firm your mouth slightly. Press your lips together and firm them up just a little bit. You don't need to make your lips rock hard for a kiss. Firm them just enough that they're formed and not floppy, but not so much that they're hard.
Make contact with a partner's lip. Once your lips are puckered, lean towards your partner. When your faces are about to touch, tilt your head to one side. Part your lips slightly and press them against your partner's lips. Try to match your partner's movements during the kiss. You want to be like 2 puzzle pieces that are fitting together.
Release your puckered lips before pulling back. After pressing your lips together for a few seconds, let your lips relax again. Release the puckering as you pull back from your partner. There is no precise amount of time you should be kissing. Do whatever feels comfortable for you and your partner. Remember—practice makes perfect when it comes to kissing!
Puckering Your Lips for a Picture
Relax your jaw. Tensing up your jaw for a picture will not help you pucker your lips. It can also make your pose look unnatural. Just before a kiss, make sure your jaw is not tense. If necessary, take a couple of deep breaths to relax your jaw.
Purse your lips slightly. Once your lips are relaxed, push them together just slightly. Contract your lips, pulling both ends of your mouth towards the center of your lips.
Blow some air through your lips. Once your lips are contracted, blow out some air. This will make your lips part slightly and leave them pursed, but not tense and unnatural in appearance.
Leave a small gap between the lips. Before taking the picture, make sure there's a tiny gap between your lips. You lips should still be held firm and form a pout, but they should be relaxed enough that you can see a tiny gap between your lips.
Making Your Lips Softer and Bigger
Exfoliate your lips regularly. When you brush your teeth in the morning, run your toothbrush along your lips. This removes any dry, flaky skin and exfoliates the lips. Lips that are regularly exfoliated appear bigger and feel softer.
Keep your lips hydrated. Dry, cracked lips will not look as big when you purse your lips. Drink a lot of water and avoid licking your lips. Use a moisturizer with built-in sunscreen of at least SPF 15.
Use two different nude lipsticks. Two shades of a nude lipstick can make your lips look fuller. Apply a dark shade all over both lips. Then, apply a light color to the middle of your lips and spread it across both the top and bottom lip. If one of your lips is fuller than the other, only apply a lighter shade to the smaller lip.
