#KylieJennerChallenge: Get your lips plump the right way

There’s been quite a lot of chatter lately around the #KylieJennerChallenge trending across social media. Kylie Jenner, member of the famous Kardashian family famous for her pretty and pouty bee-stung lips. Now what is the Kylie Jenner Challenge all about?

Swollen lips and bruising

The Kylie Jenner Challenge itself is simple. All you have to do is suck on a shot glass for 30 seconds, creating a vacuum where blood is pumped and rushed to the blood vessels in your lips. This results in a visually swollen upper and bottom lip. The effect is temporary, and will ultimately include bruising and reddening of the mouth area.

If you want fuller lips there are many methods of achieving it without the devastating effects of perhaps permanent damage. The application of make-up is the easiest. The use of the right lip liner and proper shading with a glossy lipstick with leave you with a plumper-looking set of lips. The illusion, however, is not real and surely not permanent.

Filler injections

If, however, you have decided on something a little more permanent, you could go for filler injections and treatments. A filler treatment can help people with thinner lips who want a fuller look. There are different types of fillers, and they tend to last a long time.

Most fillers provide for a longer-lasting solution by combining a mixture of collagen and microspheres. Juvederm®, on the other hand, is a treatment with an injectable gel of hyaluronic acid, similar to the ones naturally produced in the skin, to plump up sunken areas and rehydrate the skin. This is especially effective for the lips as it can help increase surface area. As it’s a gel made of hyaluronic acid, it eventually gets reabsorbed into your body, which makes it a great, non-permanent treatment.

Kylie Jenner’s plump lips are in fashion, but to achieve this look you should always do what’s best for your health. You don’t want broken capillaries and blood vessels in your lips leaving permanent uncontrollable damage, so consider the medically-tested, safe treatment options if you want to achieve Kylie’s bee-stung lips that everyone adores.
