LUSCIOUS full lips are one of the most sought-after facial features, with people splurging on everything from plumping glosses to filler to try and achieve the look.
There’s also plenty of research into how having a peaked cupid’s bow – a top lip that’s perfectly curved and dips in the middle, à la Taylor Swift and Rihanna – makes someone appear much more attractive.
It gets its name because the double curve of the top lip is said to resemble the bow of Cupid, the Roman god of erotic love and attraction.
Now one handy make-up influencer has come up with an easy method to give yourself a voluptuous, gorgeous pout – and all you need is a lipliner and your favourite gloss.
Sydney Purl is a stunning cosmetics whizz who regularly wows her 1.9 million TikTok followers with videos of gorgeous make-up looks and easy hacks to make application easier.
And a recent clip advising people of a nifty tip to instantly achieve a fuller pout racked up a huge 293k views.

She then began by drawing a heart in the middle of her top lip, using the two top curves to heighten her natural cupid’s bow.

The final step is to coat your lips with a shiny gloss – Sydney opts for Kosas’s Wet Lip Oil Gloss in ‘Exposed’.
