[YoungRichNigga]

My upper lip is darker than my bottom one, how do I make them more red/pinkish to get ideal coloring?

i dont think u can make ur lips lighter
its probably due to melanin, are u black/indian? if so then u cant do anything about it
if its something else/not genetic then u might wanna go to a doctor or something lol

 

[FootLongDong]

Cant do anything as far as I know except lipstick or lipgloss

 

[EverythingMattersCel]

Correct me if I'm wrong here but doesn't eating a lot of carotenoids also add colouring to the lips. Aside from that, ensure the lips are moisturised fully. Use vaseline every night before you go to bed...

 

[Rumpelshitskin]

a few years back i was looking at this and im sure there was a forum where black people were bleaching themselves and some lightened there lips with some stuff i will try to find it

 

[PubertyMaxxer]

Brush your upper lip

 

[LOOKMAXXER]

Look for something like this in your country
i used that cream to hydrate my lips but they got lighter and more pink, people that smoke often use this to make their lips pink again

Yes but I'm more on the lighter side of black so im pretty sure my lips are supposed to be red/pinkish

yes i do that, I put vaseline lip balm on my lips every night before i go to bed otherwise my lips are gonna end up crust af in the morning.

Also do you mean by Beta-carotenoids?

[benignice]

Not much beyond the usual bleaching (which I wouldn't recommend) and tattooing.

i used all of it but my sister used it too
the product is really strong and does not smell good but it hydrates more than anything
just use it everyday before sleeping

3 litres of water a day, dehydration will darken your lips.
Exfoliate with a good, natural sugar based lip scrub twice a week
Mix Turmeric with cold Milk apply this paste to your lips and let it dry. Leave it on your lips for an hour. Do this once a day(works wonders)
And stop using vaseline its shit, look for a product which contains humectants (will give and hold onto moisture) and occlusive agents (prevents moisture from evaporating).

A great lip balm is Burts Bees, first week of using that, it made my bottom lip bright pink from reddish brown.

just bleach it

Hey @benignice, quick question. Would applying 0.05% tretinoin every other day be more effective than 0.025% every day? Cheers

Yh beta-carotene. I have definitely noticed more of a reddish colouring in the lips since getting 300-400g of carrots daily. Might just be because I am also ensuring the lips are properly moisturised...

It depends on your skin as an individual. There is some research to say that a lower strength more consistently is better than hard and fast but there isn't a ton of research either way as far as I know.

Ah okay thanks. I'll give it a try. I've been on 0.025 and it has definitely helped in skin texture but hasn't gotten rid of the pimples I get around my chin etc so hopefully 0.05 is good for that

Get a lip scrub and do it once a week
My lips are naturally pink but it make it even more pink ngl with a scrub

[Rumpelshitskin]

Here is the thread i was talking about i really need to try tbh im a mulatto with a fucking purple top lip

Before and after PINK LIPS FINALLY!! HOW I DID IT (PICS...

So after lightening my skin I noticed that the contrast between my lips and my skin color where so off. My lips were black, I always wore red lipstick everywhere because I was embarrassed and people would stare. I couldn't leave the house without my red lipstick, not even to go pump gas lol. I...

Mirin, I can't find the product in my area. Is there any other products similar to it or you know the chemical name etc?
