Full lips are a symbol of beauty and femininity. If you’re a crossdresser or a transgender woman, lush lips can have a big impact on your overall appearance!
Filler injections can give you the full lips of your dreams – but maybe you’re not quite ready to go under the needle?
The good news is that there are some simple, non-invasive ways to plump your pout.
In this blog post, I share 5 ways to get fuller, more feminine MTF lips. Read on to learn more!
1. Exfoliate Your Lips
Dead skin cells on the lips can make them look dry and chapped. Exfoliation removes the dead cells so your lips can hold onto more moisture, giving the lips a more luscious look.
Exfoliation also increases circulation to the lips, making them look fuller.
You can use a washcloth or soft toothbrush to gently exfoliate the lips. Or even better, look for an exfoliating lip scrub. Lush makes some great ones in a variety of flavors.
2. Try A Lip Pump
There are a number of devices out there that can temporarily plump the lips by using suction to draw fluid to the area. This creates a plumping effect that can last for several hours.
Here are some popular lip plumping devices:
The drawback to these devices is that they can cause bruising or even serious injury if they aren’t used correctly. They can also leave unattractive red marks on the face.
If you decide to try a lip pump, be sure to follow the instructions carefully.
3. Boost Collagen
Collagen is a protein in your body that helps keep the skin and lips plump and smooth. As you age, your body produces less collagen, which can lead to thinner lips and more wrinkles.
Luckily, there are a couple ways to increase collagen naturally:
- Take a collagen supplement. These are inexpensive and easy to find in any health food store.
- Eat collagen-enhancing foods. Try eating bone broth soups or fruits and vegetables with vitamin C. These foods support natural collagen production.
4. Enhance Your Lips With Makeup
The right makeup techniques can work wonders on your lips. However, it’s important to avoid going overboard so you don’t end up with artificial-looking clown lips.
To achieve full, feminine lips, try the lip makeup tutorial below.

5. Use A Lip Plumping Gloss
There are loads of cosmetic lip plumpers on the market that can give your lips an extra boost.
The best lip plumpers contain nourishing ingredients, like hyaluronic acid (to draw moisture to the lips) or peptides (to increase collagen). These plumpers create lasting results without damaging the lips.
Other lip plumpers contain irritating ingredients like cinnamon or cayenne. This creates swelling, which make the lips look fuller. However, they can dry out the lips in the long run. I recommend limiting your use of these.
Here are a few of my favorite lip plumping glosses:
- GrandeLIPS Hydrating Lip Plumper Gloss
- TOO FACED Lip Injection Plumping Lip Gloss
- Sublime Lips Manuka Honey Lip Plumper

I
went from an a cup to a c cup in 4 months using Purafem’s nano serum, topical cream and oral capsules. I
also use fenugreek, tumeric and saw palmetto. They say you cannot grow breasts while losing weight but I have
also lost 25 lbs. during the same time frame. I also use a nooglberry breast pump 30 mins everyday and weight training to build up my pecks. I have found that using a combination of Purafem’s topical cream , skinn’s sugar lips exfilation product on my lips and a
Lip pump gives me the look I
want for my lips

Hi all…do any girls have experience of using kiss proof lipstick in particular how easy/hard it is to subsequently remove it
Hi pippa, i have and do use kissproof and like lipstick products and have found depending on the shade you use is how hard they are to remove, for me pink is the hardest where as reds come off easier, seems backwards but thats my experience. I normally just use regular makeup removing wipes but sometimes have to scrub a bit hard, but it eventually comes off.
You should try the tints from younique.
Easy to apply, are really long lasting( 14-16 hrs eating, kissing etc.
The pallete of color Is so kinky and feminine. The texture Is liquid and mate after applied. You will love it
They will remove with a cream and a little of work at any time. By gently cleaning

Hi,
Such a nice information and tips, i learned a lot about male to female transformation by reading lot of useful information around. Actually one of my friend has recently undergo the surgery and hormone therapy and looking for help in makeover. After doing lot of search on Google i learned about your website and one more provider.
I only find this page on their website about makeover services. After reviewing her profile, i found it interesting but would like to know your views. Do you know her or having any recommendation for the same? Please reply at earliest.
So you ever find someone to help?
Lips are so important, for obvious reasons – for me personal I choose the lip pump and having worked out how to use it correctly find it works OK with no lasting damage.
I had a, Christine l contact me on Skype if not you have a great day
I looked at a bunch of lip plumper ads, compiled a list of ingredients, and made my own plumper using the safe-looking ingredients. Hallelujah, it works!
I’m an African American transgender female that unfortunately was not blessed with plush lips at birth. The only thing that I have tried to a modicum degree of success is brushing my lips to give the appearance of having fuller lips. I believe Scarlett Johansson’s lips are more beautiful than any of those other women listed and if I were to vote she would have my vote hands down. However, I am surprised and at the same time disappointed that you show no African American female celebrities, that being said, my vote goes to Keri Washington!
FYI, Lucille please don’t leave us out in the cold, transgender women of color have a hard enough time dealing with society’s bigotry without having to deal with a person who makes at least a part of her living from transgender females every where, and yet, does not cater to the full spectrum of transgender women. If you truly see Crossdressers and transwomen as your “girls” then by all means, invite us all to come in under your tent.
Sophia, Lucille has included many stunning women of color in other examples of beauty, hair styles as an example. We’re all here to support each other.
Great tips, I use a lip plumper cream from AVON but I am definitely going to look into the lip pump. I have been considering collegan treatments for my lips as well as my cheeks for some time now but since this requires regular treatments the lip pump seems as if it would be a much cheaper way to go if it ends up working.
thanks for this resource! the lips that made me self conscious as a teen are now the envy of women, and soft pillowed retreat for men. i am so much happier as a girl!
