If you want plump lips, you don't have to take the Kylie Jenner challenge. Actually, please don't! Try making your own lip plumper for a fraction of the cost of what department stores charge. By using natural ingredients like cinnamon or something similar, you can stimulate blood flow to your lips. This temporarily plumps your lips to give you a sexy, pouty look. The best part? It's easy to make! You can find most of the ingredients at your grocery store or craft store, and I've linked to Amazon to make shopping even easier.

Essential Oil
Do not use a fragrance oil for either one of these recipes. Even if it says skin-safe on the bottle, it is not safe for your lips, and it will not work as a lip plumper. Use only 100 percent essential oil because it is safe to use on your lips, and it will stimulate blood flow to plump your lips.
